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

Project Update: Demolition of the high school structures is complete. The developer kept all of the concrete from the sidewalks and foundations on site and brought in a concrete processing plant to crush all the material into base rock to be recycled and used under the future roads. This will save hundreds of truck trips in and out of the neighborhood over the course of the project.

This week the grading contractor started work in leveling the site using large earthmoving equipment. Grading is expected to last around 3 months.

The developer is in regular meetings with city staff including the Parks Deparment and are close finalizing design plans for the future community soccer fields. More details to come this summer.

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.

The facility is expected to have approximately 70 employees. The plans include the construction of 16 surface parking spaces, resulting in a total of 446 spaces when including inventory storage. Access to the site will be improved with two new driveways at the north end and a third entry at the rear of the building via an access easement on the adjacent southern parcel. Landscaping enhancements will be implemented around the building, adhering to the approved landscaping plan. The building's exterior will feature glass storefronts and composite panels, including a perforated metal screen on the west and rear elevations.

Project Update: Excavation is complete. Crews are currently working on the foundation at basement level 2, and will work through July to reach the ground level.

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

Project Update: Demolition of the existing structures is complete, and the site has been fully cleared. Over the next month, crews will be performing rough grading to establish pad elevations in preparation for home construction. Once grading is finished, crews will begin installing wet utilities and connect the existing 12-inch water main—from Sneath Lane and Earl Avenue—down to Glenview Drive and San Bruno Avenue.

Other Details: As I shared in my newsletter last month, a key aspect of this project is that as a condition of approval, the City is requiring the developer to install a four-way stop with new crosswalks at the intersection of Glenview Drive and San Bruno Avenue. This uncontrolled intersection has long been hazardous for pedestrians and drivers alike and adding improvements to this intersection is long overdue.
