Mallard Pointe tenants move out, but demolition still awaits city permit
The tenants at Mallard Pointe had to be out by Sept. 14, but demolition of their 22 apartments is waiting on a bulkhead permit that has been under city review since February 2025.
Belvedere closed one gap last week, hiring an engineering firm to oversee the work when it does start. The city named Petaluma-based Foth its outside project coordinator Sept. 9, filling a part-time post left open after it cut ties with Phillips Seabrook Associates, the firm it hired in April. It will oversee the demolition and the replacement of the bulkhead, the wall that holds Belvedere Lagoon back from the land. The city says Foth will also be an independent check on the developer’s compliance with city code. Belvedere cited the firm’s work on its Beach Road seawall stabilization project.
Planning and Building Director Rebecca Markwick said Sept. 14 that the city is still working on the Foth contract, so its pay and term remain undisclosed. Phillips Seabrook’s April contract was worth up to $200,000 over two budget years.
