The San Jose Planning Director is scheduled to review plans for the two 16-story commercial towers to rise at 33-91 South Montgomery Street in front of the historic Diridon Station. The project aims to create 1.2 million square feet of office space above a mixed-use public plaza activated with retail, entertainment, and landscaping. Caltrain is the property owner and applicant.
In honor of New York YIMBY’s Turkey Week tradition of spotlighting stalled projects, we’d like to highlight the one big project that comes to mind for San Francisco. Oceanwide Center was meant to produce the second-tallest skyscraper in the city, with a unique geometric structure designed by Foster + Partners. Today, the property at First and Mission remains an unfinished hole in the ground, collecting dust and water.
Final approval has been given for the Mission Point master plan at 3005 Democracy Way, Santa Clara. The wide-ranging development would construct four different structures with between 1,800 to 2,600 apartments, up between two to three million square feet of commercial real estate, retail, public open space, and a childcare facility across nearly fifty acres. Kylli is the project sponsor.
A new mixed-use development has been proposed for development at 2820 San Pablo Avenue in Southwest Berkeley, Alameda County. The project proposal includes the development of two buildings offering spaces for industrial, office, and residential uses. The project requires the demolition of a one-story 12,193 square-foot non-residential building on the site. Oakland-based Cork-Mayo Investments is the project developer. Studio KDA is the project architect.
The environmental review process has started for the potential mixed-use 41-story tower at 530 Sansome Street in San Francisco’s Financial District. The city’s planning department has issued the notice of preparation for the Environmental Impact Report, accepting public comment to inform the scope of the report. The project will include offices, a 200-key hotel, and a four-story replacement fire station across from the Transamerica Pyramid. Related and the City are jointly responsible for the project in a public-private partnership.
