For the last twelve days of 2025, SFYIMBY will reflect on the biggest stories we’ve covered each month across the region. In April, we covered the pivot from office to housing conversion of CityView Plaza in Downtown San Jose. The city revealed plans for the controversial Embarcadero Park redevelopment. Brisbane published the environmental review of the massive Baylands masterplan, which could result in thousands of apartments, several million square feet of commercial area, a new school, and public open space. Partial office-to-housing conversion was proposed for 995 Market Street, and preliminary plans surfaced for a massive thousand-unit neighborhood utilizing the builder’s remedy in Pacifica.

For the last twelve days of 2025, SFYIMBY will continue our tradition of reflecting on the biggest stories we’ve covered each month across the region. Our first major story in March was the proposed new Mansion for the affluent Fisher Family’s property in Presidio Heights. UC Berkeley announced plans to begin construction next year for a new dorm, currently the fifth-tallest building in the city’s busy pipeline. San Francisco officials held a meeting to work with Lendlease on making 30 Van Ness Avenue financially viable. Lastly, the Draft Environmental Impact Report was published for Related’s 41-story office tower at 530 Sansome Street.
