walked by the respective developments at the two southern San Mateo Caltrain stations this weekend.
I was pleasantly surprised to realize that work has indeed started on
Station Park Green, 600 housing units at Hayward Park:
I've been watching the site from the train and couldn't tell what was going on behind piles of dirt. on the right in this shot you can see progress on the Hines office buildings across the street.
the offices again:
the
other project that is supposed to go up on the Caltrain parking lot hasn't gotten going yet:
as seen from the station area:
the next station south is Hillsdale, where Bay Meadows is going up. I would say about half the parcels are complete or under construction. the done parts are pleasant enough to walk around:
this is a look down 'Main St' (actually called Delaware), where there will be offices on the right and housing/amenities on the left
the development is mostly an island, with the only ways to enter/exit via roads at three of the corners. the eastern side abuts an office complex, from which it is fenced off (offices on left):
the western side is train tracks, the southern side is an existing neighborhood from which BM is also walled off, and the northern side is a park, beyond which is the San Mateo Fairgrounds. I didn't see any sign of neighborhood-serving retail yet.
