In this brief commentary, Austin Klar introduces a proposed 17‑story residential tower called the Boathouse at 700 Irwin Street in San Rafael. Developed by Urban Pacific Development and landscaped by SWA, the project would add roughly 200 housing units within a 180‑foot, 196,000‑sq‑ft building, include 5,000 sq ft of retail space, and feature a five‑story parking structure for over 200 cars and 120 bikes along the San Rafael Creek. Klar notes that the proposal has not yet received final approvals, so construction timing is uncertain, and he asks viewers to share their thoughts in the comments and follow him for more Bay Area real‑estate updates.

Something incredibly rare might be coming to the city of San Rafael, and I wanna know what you think of the proposal. Developer Urban Pacific Development has filed plans for a 17-story apartment complex at 700 Irwin Street named Boathouse that would create 200 new homes in what would become the tallest building in the city. The proposal contemplates a 180-foot-tall structure comprising 196,000 square feet for housing, 5,000 square feet for retail, and a 5-story parking garage big enough for over 200 cars and 120 bikes. UBD is designing the space alongside San Rafael Creek along with landscape architect SWA. There aren't final approvals for the project, project at this time, so the timeline for construction isn't set yet. But let me know what you think of the proposal in the comments and follow me for more Bay Area real estate.
