Modulars can reduce construction expense, but most importantly, reduce (construction) time sometimes by as much as 40%, said Michael Brownrigg, United Hope Builders chief of staff.
In 2019, the average cost of building affordable housing in the Bay Area was $664,455 per unit. According to the Bay Area Council Economic Institute, an economic and policy think tank, that figure includes construction, land acquisition, materials, labor and legal fees, among other costs, unique to the region. The floodgates have opened. I m getting inquiries every single day about this product and people wanting to come see it.

Iâll never forget the day the sky turned orange over Burlingame Avenue. The air was full of ash from raging fires, and I needed bike lights to ride home safely at noon.

This year, local governments in San Mateo County demonstrated we can solve problems. Our countyâs leadership team spearheaded an outstanding public health response and addressed economic fallout proactively and collaboratively. Cities also proved to be inspiring laboratories for innovation, and weâve become a more resilient community.
An ambitious plan to build a comprehensive network of bike trails and improve dozens of other walking routes for pedestrians received approval from officials hoping to make it easier and safer to get around Burlingame without a car.
Following two years of intensive planning, community outreach and development, the Burlingame City Council unanimously adopted a new bicycle and pedestrian master plan during a meeting Monday, Dec. 7.
The plan projected to cost roughly $40 million aims to facilitate construction of 33 miles of new bike paths traversing the city, as well as improvements to 82 intersections and other areas frequented by pedestrians.
The plan, which could take as many as two decades to implement entirely, received admiration from officials who appreciated the comprehensive approach to make Burlingame more friendly for walkers and bikers.
