Thought I'd provide a construction update from San Rafael, as there are actual multi-unit developments underway. There's a bunch of other stuff that has been proposed and approved. But just like in SF, lots of projects get approved then sit. It's all waiting for financing or for the developer to decide that the ROI finally has enough zeroes to start the project. So, for now, I'm focusing on projects that are in progress.
703 3rd Street, San Rafael
A 6-story, 73’-tall, mixed-use building with 120 rental units or apartments above a 969 sq. ft. commercial space and 121 garage parking spaces, including 112 mechanical parking lifts.
The proposed configuration of the new residential apartments includes:
* 33, Studio units; 342-539 sq. ft. in size
* 44, 1-bedroom units; 525-795 sq. ft. in size
* 43, 2-bedroom units; 520-1,068 sq. ft. in size
The project proposes 9 affordable or ‘below-market-rate’ units (5 at the ‘very low-income’ household levels and 4 at the ‘low income’ household levels, which represents 20% of the maximum base density (45 units) allowed on the project site.
