• Thompson Builders seeks mixed-use redevelopment of Stinson Beach post office (therealdeal.com) — A major redevelopment is being proposed for the Stinson Beach post office property at 15 Calle Del Mar, adding six homes and new commercial space while keeping the post office onsite. The plan includes market-rate condos, two smaller upstairs units, and a new 1,250-square-foot post office, but must navigate coastal permits, creek setback rules, and strict local wastewater and water district requirements.
