Overview
- Align Real Estate has submitted a preliminary application for 15 Marina Blvd that stacks rental housing above a replacement, larger supermarket.
- The proposal calls for 790 apartments, including 86 affordable units, and a 63,000-square-foot Safeway that is 57% larger than the current store.
- Safeway says the store would close during construction for several years, with employees temporarily reassigned to nearby locations.
- Mayor Daniel Lurie’s office criticizes the timing as gaming new rules, while housing group YIMBY Action supports building new homes at the site.
- The Marina plan is one of several Safeway redevelopments Align is advancing in the Fillmore, Outer Richmond and Bernal Heights.
