Help Us Save Our Sausalito Historic District
Not Right for the Historic District—9 Stories and 109 Feet Tall!
Rendering based on Francis Gough Illustration and 3/4/2024 project update filed with City of Sausalito
The massive scale overwhelms our historic district.
View Protection on the Line at the Corporation Yard Site
We just reviewed the latest draft of the Request for Proposal (RFP) to implement Measure K and were shocked to see that the draft was changed to make view protection optional for developers at the Nevada Street “Corporation Yard” site. This would set a terrible precedent.
We need to weigh in strongly with the City Council and urge the Council to restore the RFP language requiring view protection for all Nevada Street area neighbors.
Please take a moment to send an email to the City Council using our quick email tool to support our Nevada Street neighbors and view protection in Sausalito.
The Council has worked collaboratively with the community to incorporate input, including through two recent community workshops, and the RFP has been significantly updated to reflect that feedback.
The first major project approved on City property should not establish a precedent where view protection becomes optional. This is one easy fix the Council can make now.
Join the 2,200 People Who Have Signed the Petition to Oppose this Flawed Project
It includes 51 ultra high-end units—and just 8 tiny, substandard “affordable” units crammed against the hillside facing a retaining wall. A travesty pretending to meet housing needs.
If approved, it sets a precedent for more oversized towers and the end of our Historic District.
Stand with us. Sign the petition. Stop this project before it’s too late.

Save Our Sausalito Biologist Identifies Habitat of Special Species on Bridgeway Site
Sensitive species photographed in the Princess Grove on August 19, 2025.
Protect the Princess Grove Habitat
The current Bridgeway and Princess Street proposals would clear-cut what has become known as the Princess Grove, a grove of eleven trees, including magnificent coast live oaks standing 45-feet tall and likely almost a century old.
A study by renowned biologist Dr. Shawn Smallwood showed that Princess Grove hosts special-status species including the Anna’s hummingbird, monarch butterfly, the great horned owl, western grey squirrel, tree-roosting bats, Allen’s hummingbird and Cooper’s hawk.
The glass in the structure would result in an estimated 196 annual bird-window collision deaths, according to the report.
Best-Selling Author Amy Tan Speaks Out on Project’s Threat to Local Birds
“This proposed building is an eyesore that would damage the unique beauty of our town. Its expanse of glass windows reflecting the bay would lure birds that would be killed by colliding into what appears to be sky. These high-end residences would also be lit at night and attract and kill migrating birds. Sausalito is the varied habitat for hundreds of species of birds that are both year-round residents and visiting fall migrants from September – April.
As a board member of American Bird Conservancy and a Sausalito homeowner whose backyard has been visited by 66 species of birds, I voice my strong objection to this proposed building detrimental to both our town’s historic character and its wildlife.”

This Project Doesn’t Belong in the Historic District
One million people visit Sausalito’s Historic District every year. It is one of only twelve certified historic districts in all of California.
It is a treasured and much-loved resource as well as an economic engine of the community.
The State of California acclaimed the district’s commercial architecture as some of the most notable of its time period.
