Hundreds of New Homes for South San Francisco’s Downtown Reactivation
In the midst of tech and biomedical booms, the economic climate for residential development — and downtown revitalization — was ripe. South San Francisco was at a crossroads, figuring out how it was going to grow and embrace the future.
GCA Strategies helped win approvals for two apartment buildings that catalyzed the growth and prosperity of South San Francisco’s downtown corridor. Where two sprawling parking lots once lay, disconnecting downtown from its Caltrain Station and emerging biotech center, GCA Strategies helped our clients win crucial discretionary approvals to build successive state of the art mid-rise apartment buildings that set presidents in height and density in South San Francisco.
We built relationships with local advocates, formed alliances with influential community groups and reduced the level of opposition to create a political climate where voting YES was the obvious choice for decision makers.
