Over the past few years, we have read about many new projects in SoMa with both residential units and retail space. In the most recent issue of the San Francisco Business Times (April 27–May 3, 2007), we learn about a project where the housing units will be eliminated.
J.K. Dineen reports that “Urban Realty has scaled back plans to develop a key parcel next to the new Westfield San Francisco Centre, dropping 189 housing units in favor of a project that will feature only retail.”
Although Urban Realty cut the residential units in this project, the article further reported that “the city Planning Commission has signed off on a number of large residential projects farther west along Market Street, including the 1,900-unit Trinity Plaza and the 720-unit Crescent Heights towers at 10th and Market streets.”
