A developer in San Francisco just proposed a new 24 story housing development on the waterfront on the site of the existing Safeway. It has generated significant controversy. Will it get approved substantially as presented e.g., 800 units. If it is not approved by closing date at the end of 2027 this resolves as no.
Update 2026-04-09 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The project is currently proposed at 790 units. It will resolve No if the approved project is reduced by more than 10% in units or square footage compared to the proposal.

Final city approval appears to meet the YES criteria. The SF Standard reports a Nov. 6 approval letter for 848 homes: https://sfstandard.com/2026/11/08/san-francisco-marina-safeway-redevelopment-approved/
For the size caveat, the March proposal was 790 units and just under one million square feet; July’s revision had 848 units and 989,500 square feet. Neither measure appears to have fallen by more than 10% from the proposal current at the April clarification.

A federal lawsuit remains pending and construction permits are separate, but this asks about approval. Jim, would you review for YES resolution? I bought M50 YES.
@Jack1 right now it is proposed as 790 units. If it is reduced by more than 10% in units or square footage than that would result in a no.
