San Francisco Bay Area: 5 Projects Filed This Week

Five records moved across Bay Area permitting and planning desks this week, and none of them is a done deal. Together they sketch a pipeline running from a landmark bar buildout already filed for construction review in San Francisco’s Financial District, to two multifamily proposals still working through Planning at very different scales, to two San Jose industrial permits already carrying declared values. Read as a batch, it is a snapshot of what a general contractor or subcontractor bidding in San Francisco and the South Bay should expect to see come out to bid in the weeks ahead, not a set of approvals.

Why it matters

Filed-but-undecided records are the forward layer of the construction pipeline, the stage before a job hits a bid list. The most construction-ready item here is SF DBI permit 202609158114 at 25 Montgomery St, filed Oct. 6, 2026, for a $15M tenant improvement inside a designated landmark. The two San Jose permits are commercial/industrial filings with declared values already attached. The two SF Planning records are still proposals, one accepted for review, one submitted, neither approved. Tracking all five stages together is what a sourcing-channel digest for the builder persona is for.

The numbers

SF Planning record 2026-008734PRJ, for 228 Collins St in San Francisco’s 94118 zip code, carries the status Accepted, meaning Planning has accepted the application for review, not approved the project. It proposes 38 units on a site now holding a surface parking lot and former car wash, opened Oct. 2, 2026. SF Planning record 2026-007523PRJ, covering 3300, 3308 and 3330 Geary Blvd, carries the status Submitted, an earlier stage than Accepted, and proposes 89 units across three merged parcels, opened Aug. 21, 2026. SF DBI permit 202609158114, at the landmark building at 25 Montgomery St, was filed Oct. 6, 2026 with a declared cost of $15,000,000; the scope covers bars at the basement and ground floor plus minor exterior and roof deck work, with all alterations to the landmark’s character-defining features governed by an approved Certificate of Appropriateness under Planning Motion M-514. In San Jose, permit 2026-139499-CI at 920 Blossom Hill Rd declares a $10,855,134 valuation for a Dick’s Sporting Goods tenant improvement, and permit 2026-141899-CI at 4563 N 1st St declares a $14,000,000 valuation for new support buildings tied to Second Harvest of Silicon Valley. The three dollar-denominated filings combine for $39,855,134, or roughly $39.9 million in declared value.

What’s next

The two SF Planning records still must clear environmental and design review before any construction permit can follow; their statuses, Accepted and Submitted, are both pre-decision stages with no timeline in the record. The 25 Montgomery St permit remains under DBI review following its October filing, with landmark compliance already set by the existing Certificate of Appropriateness. The two San Jose permits are furthest along procedurally, carrying recorded valuations rather than proposed figures, though neither record states a completion date. None of the five should be read as finished work.
