We have known the tsunami of development has been approaching for several years. The townhouses on Anson Lane have arrived for sale:
Brand new construction in Burlingame. This 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, 2 story townhome style condo is located in the brand new community The Residences @ Anson is built by D.R. Horton, America's builder. Included features, Avalon shaker style cabinets w/satin nickel door pulls, Stainless steel Jenn Air appliances, minus washer, dryer and refrigerator. $1,903,540.
The massive block of 268 apartments that are part of the same development on Carolan Ave. will be hitting the market soon I imagine. I have verified with a member of the School Board that the kids in this development are zoned to Roosevelt School.
Further north, the Planning Commission has cleared the first of three big developments. Per the Daily Journal
The Burlingame Planning Commission unanimously approved the plan to construct at 1766 El Camino Real a development featuring 60 residential units atop 148,000 of office space during a meeting Monday, Aug. 24. The plans will advance onto the Burlingame City Council, which will ultimately determine the fate of the development. Officials admired the seven-story tower which will also feature a ground-floor lobby and retail center plus underground parking — differing from those who feared the development was incompatible with its surroundings.
“Will it change the neighborhood here? Yes. That’s the point,” said Loftis, who noted the stretch of north Burlingame has been identified by officials as an area to build additional housing and allow greater density. He added officials recently approved a general plan update making way for the new uses, making clear the character of the area would change.
And the next two shoes to drop are
To advance the synergy of the emerging area, plans have been filed to build a seven-story tower nearby with 169 units at the corner of El Camino Real and Murchison Drive, and about 1 mile away a proposal was made to build 120 units in a six-story development which includes cultural art space.
That's 349 new units in "North Burlingame". I'm researching which school(s) these kids will be assigned to when they are all open. In the meantime, I think we need a better name for this big new neighborhood. Any suggestions, readers? There is also plans afoot at the Mercy property for a sizable residential development. That one will be easy to name: Have Mercy on Us. That's 630 new units plus the Hower Auto development on Bayswater and whatever gets added at Mercy. And still, "housing advocates" say it is not enough.........
Keep this view of ECR in mind as it won't look like that much longer.
