San Marin Owner LLC, owner of the former Fireman's Fund parcel, has a 10-point plan to build more than a thousand housing units on the Novato property.
The Fireman’s Fund campus in Novato—the one-time home of one of the largest employers in Marin—is being razed. The wrecking balls are scheduled to begin swinging at the 44-acre San Marin Drive parcel this week.
The property, owned by San Marin Owner LLC, is planned for development into 1,300 residences, a key component in Novato reaching its state-mandated housing goals as part of its 2024 general plan update.
Fireman’s Fund had its base of operations at the site from 1992 to 2015, when parent company Allianz financial services moved employees to Petaluma. The site has been vacant for a decade.
The demolition is expected to take several months. City officials said crews will be at work weekdays from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
