Rule Changes

Leading the federal lawsuit; the city approved the project on November 6, 2026, and a judge hears the developer's motion to dismiss on February 4, 2027

San Francisco gave final approval on November 6 to an 848-apartment redevelopment of the Marina Safeway, clearing it under a 2022 state law that skips public hearings and environmental review. Developer Align Real Estate would build 22- and 18-story towers above a rebuilt grocery store. Setting aside 86 apartments for low-income households earned a 49.3% density bonus, which let the project exceed the site's 40-foot zoning limit.
