Public commenting has started on the redevelopment of an old U.S. Coast Guard station at Rockridge Geotechnical’s 100 Commodore Webster Drive site in Point Reyes Station. The project would turn the station into affordable housing, hopefully bringing new life to the site, which sits adjacent to the local population center with grocery stores, restaurants, and an elementary school. Overall, the development would create 54 affordable apartments and 36 affordable townhomes on a 57,800-square-foot renovated campus. Amenities on the campus will include a workshop, playground, and community space.

New plans have been revealed for a 23-story, 200-unit residential development at 1965 Market Street in San Francisco, one of Rockridge Geotechnical’s sites. The structure will include a 12-story annex, preserving the historic façade of the existing 100-year-old Mission Revival-style building at the site; moreover, a rooftop deck for residents will be built atop this annex. Of the 200 residential units, 28 will be designated as affordable, and there will be on-site parking for 61 cars and 135 bicycles. The complex will also contain over 3,000 square feet of retail space. Overall, these plans represent a massive shift from the original plans for this site from 2015, which proposed an eight-story residential building.

The residential capacity of the proposed affordable senior housing building at Rockridge Geotechnical’s 2372 International Boulevard site in Oakland has decreased from 60 units to 52 units. This change to the four-story development occurred after a zoning worksheet permit was filed, but the new design will likely be similar to the old design, which consisted of 60 units and on-site parking for 18 cars.
