The City of San Rafael has issued a demolition permit in preparation for the construction of a new eight-story, 210-unit residential building at 930 Irwin Street.
In addition to the residential units, the development will feature ground-floor amenities for residents and a garage with 232 parking spaces. The multifamily project also includes 18 affordable units dedicated to low-income households, ensuring that the benefits of this development are shared across the community.
Work on the project begins with the demolition of three existing commercial structures and the consolidation of three separate parcels into a single lot. The City of San Rafael is working closely with the developer to ensure this phase is managed safely and efficiently.
