Recent preliminary project permits show that the development at 4550 Mission Street offers nearly three times the residential capacity as originally planned. Located in Outer Mission, San Francisco, the developers increased their plans from 24 to 69 apartments. The permits credit HOME-SF, a city-wide local density bonus program to encourage affordable housing near transit. The developer is not listed.
Alteration permits have been filed to expand the room count for the topped-out SOMA Mission Bay Hotel at 100 Channel Street, SoMa, San Francisco. The alteration comes thanks to the Mission Bay South Redevelopment Plan’s “Hotel Project.” This building is part of a multi-structure development including One Mission Bay and brings retail, 350 residential units, and 250 guest rooms to a less developed neighborhood corner. The recently filed permits increase the hospitality offering to 299 units. SOMA Hotel LLC is responsible for the development.
Renderings are out for the planned eight-story residential development at 2590 Bancroft Way, Southside, Berkeley.

Design is by Bjarke Ingels Group and RMW Architecture, with Urban Community and Vancouver-based Westbank as developers.
New elevations reveal plans for a tower at 35 South Second Street, Downtown San Jose. The starchitect Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) is behind the design, which has a striking resemblance to a pair of trousers. The 289-foot tower will provide a large quantity of residential, office, and retail space around the corner from the future BART station and historic Bank of Italy Tower. Vancouver-based Westbank Corporation is developing the project.
