1700 South El Camino Real Residential Project (PA-2026-0025)
San Mateo
Description
Two eight-story apartment buildings with 441 units total — 253 market-rate and 188 deed-restricted affordable senior units. The council approved only the alternative affordable housing plan; the full project goes to the Planning Commission, likely in early 2027.
Impact summary
Would replace an office building with dense housing near Caltrain, adding hundreds of residents — and years of construction — to the Borel Avenue neighborhood.
