San Bruno winter 2025 construction update highlights large housing, dealership and campus projects
Summary
A city construction update outlines multiple major projects in San Bruno: a new Cardonali auto dealership, two large affordable-housing developments (including The View at San Bruno), a YouTube campus expansion, Highland Ridge townhomes and a Toll Brothers subdivision, with completion dates through 2027.
In a video titled the winter 2025 construction update, a presenter outlined several major construction projects underway in San Bruno, including a new Cardonali Hyundai and Genesis dealership, multiple affordable-housing developments, an office expansion near the YouTube campus, new townhomes at Highland Ridge and a Toll Brothers single-family subdivision.
The update said the Cardonali Hyundai and Genesis dealership on Admiral Court — approved unanimously by the San Bruno City Council in March 2023 — is rising quickly. The presenter described it as a three-story facility of roughly 171,000 (unit not specified in the transcript) with a targeted completion in spring 2026 and noted that auto dealerships provide sales-tax revenue that helps fund city services.
The presenter gave extended attention to new affordable housing along San Bruno Avenue. Citing state housing laws, the update said recent changes have reduced local control, prioritized affordable units and frequently allow taller buildings with less parking than local rules previously required. The View at San Bruno, originally approved in November 2023 and modified in January of the update year, is described as two 10-story buildings that will provide 341 affordable rental units; the presenter said the project’s height exceeds local zoning and noted the city faces penalties of up to $50,000 per month for noncompliance with state mandates. The project’s construction is expected to finish in fall 2027.
The video also noted that a 100 percent affordable project at 732 El Camino Real received its certificate of occupancy in July 2025. That project — which the presenter said used modular construction techniques — contains 134 units across six stories.
Near Cherry Lane, the update described phase one of an expansion at the YouTube campus. Approved in September 2021, the plan calls for two new three-story office buildings totaling about 440,000 square feet and underground parking as part of the Bay Hill specific plan. Exterior construction and landscaping are expected to be complete by fall 2026, with interior tenant work to follow.
On the city’s west side, City Ventures’ Highland Ridge project will add 58 townhomes across nine buildings at San Bruno Avenue and Glen View Drive. The planning commission unanimously approved the project in May 2024; the presenter said construction is under way and that pedestrian safety improvements — including sidewalks and an all-way stop at the adjacent intersection — are part of the work, with first units due in 2026.
Finally, the update described a Toll Brothers single-family subdivision approved by the city council in 2024 that will create 155 homes, with 24 units reserved as below-market-rate for moderate-income families. The development will include about five acres set aside for public fields and nearly two acres of publicly accessible walking paths and parking; grading and vegetation management are under way, and the first phase of 12 homes targets completion in late 2026.
The presenter framed the projects as bringing jobs, housing and a stronger tax base to San Bruno and closed the update by thanking viewers and urging them to "stay tuned for more." The video did not provide vote tallies or ordinance numbers for the approvals it referenced; where dates or quantities were not specified in the transcript the update either stated them directly or left them unspecified.
