Former Crestmoor High School Site

 

300 Piedmont Avenue

 

Project Description: 155 Single-family homes on the site of the former Crestmoor High School site, being developed by Toll Brothers.

Project Update: The paving of Courtland through the site is imminent and with the current weather is targeted for completion in early March. The curb and gutter for the new Courtland Drive through the site are poured abd complete. The in-tract utilities are nearing completion and testing of those utilities will begin soon.
 
The individual house plans are currently undergoing city review with targeted approval by the end of February. The team is targeting starting construction on model homes in late March and have framing completed by the time they open for sale in late Spring.

The upsizing of the sewer main on Courtland and Whitman has passed the halfway point toward completion and that work should be wrapped up in the next few weeks.
 
Regarding the fire abatement work in the open space between the site and Madison Avenue, crews have been working hard on the difficult hillside and are about halfway done. It has been a challenge hauling debris up the hill but significant progress has been made. The Toll Brothers team asked me to communicate their appreciation for the patience of their neighbors on Madison, and remind us that the end result of this will be a neighborhood that is much safer for everyone.
 
The webpage for this project on TollBrothers.com is live and prospective buyers are already communicating their interest. Click here to view the project website.

Glenview Highlands Project

 

2880 & 2890 San Bruno Avenue W, 850 & 860 Glenview Drive

 

Project Description: 58 units across nine buildings. Solar all-electric, townhome-style condominium units, being developed by City Ventures.

Project Update: The project team has made excellent progress on the project since the start of the year. Building C is the model building for the development, where appliances are now being installed and finish materials are nearly complete, meaning the model homes are nearly ready for showing. Pending final City inspections, Lot 17 (the first home in Building C as you enter from Glenview Drive) is anticipated to open as the sales office in mid-March. The project has successfully passed its electrical switchgear inspection, and the team is coordinating with PG&E on meter installation.

Improvements to the rest of the site are also advancing steadily, with newly poured sidewalks, garage aprons, patios, and completed retaining walls helping shape the streetscape along the new Highland Way. Landscaping installation is underway, with current focus on the central park and open space areas. Framing is underway for Building A, underground utilities are in place at Building H, and the remaining buildings will begin vertical construction in the coming months.

The Crossings: Auto Dealership

 

1010 Admiral Court (next to Jack's Restaurant)

 

Project Description: United Contractors, Inc. is building the new home for the Hyundai & Genesis auto dealership, which is currently occupying a temporary facility at the nearby former Sears site across El Camino at Tanforan.

This new multi-story automotive dealership and service center will include two basement levels and three levels above grade. The two basement levels are designed for vehicle inventory storage, parts inventory storage, and vehicle detailing bays. On the main floor, there will be two separate showrooms, office spaces, and a vehicle maintenance area equipped with service bays. The second floor will be used for vehicle inventory storage utilizing vehicle stackers, along with vehicle displays and additional offices. The third floor, or rooftop, will serve as a parking area and will feature solar canopies above the designated parking spaces.

 

 

Project Update: The construction team from United Contractors has made significant progress toward completing the project, and are now focusing on finishes. This includes installing precast concrete blocks, framing and drywall, tile, glass, painting, exterior finishes, and installing shop equipment for the service center.

Over 80 construction workers work on-site every day, and the Cardinale dealership owners have informed city staff that they anticipate construction to be completed this summer.
