Updated plans have been filed with new elevations for 1526 Powell Street, in Russian Hill, San Francisco. The project will make adaptive reuse of the existing facade distinctively painted for the John J. Delucchi Sheet Metal Works while creating up to 20 apartments. JS Sullivan Development is the project applicant.
Construction work has begun on the renovation of San Francisco’s most iconic skyscraper, the Transamerica Pyramid. The project is led by the New York City-based property owner, SHVO, with design by Foster + Partners. Focused on the public open space and the pyramid’s interiors, phase one will reemphasize the iconic modernist design inside, update the offices, increase on-site amenities, and lease 45,000 square feet for a Manhattan-based elite social club, all in a bid to elevate the pyramid from a visual marvel into a magnetic destination for both tenants and the public.
Construction has topped out and scaffolding removed for 1064 Mission Street, a six-story permanent supportive housing project in SoMa, San Francisco. The building will soon open with 256 studio apartments for adults and seniors in the city. 1064 Mission is a joint venture with the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development, Mercy Housing, and the Episcopal Community Services.
A new mixed-use project has been proposed at 1600 Broadway in Land Park, Sacramento. The project proposal includes the development of a five-story building offering retail and residential spaces. Demolition permits were filed in November of 2019 and subsequently fulfilled. The property had been site to Tower Records, a local fixture selling CDs and vinyl records. Williams + Paddon will be responsible for the architecture.
New renderings have been revealed for the eight-story mixed-use development at 2000 University Avenue in Downtown Berkeley.

Trachtenberg Architects, responsible for the design, have shared with YIMBY that construction is expected to start this summer.
