A new concept for the old Century 12 movie complex east of Highway 101 in Redwood City includes the construction of 550 housing units and a 100,000 square-foot health club.
Plans submitted by SyRes Development in March for the property at 557 E. Bayshore Road include construction of three buildings for housing reaching six stories high with a pool, sales office and 925 parking spaces on two levels. The housing component of the project is 983,000 square feet, which includes a floor below grade for parking.
The height of the building will be 71 feet.
It includes 275 one-bedroom and 275 two-bedroom apartments, according to plans forwarded to the Daily Journal by the Redwood City Community Development Department.
SyWest Development and SyRes Development are both subsidiaries of Syufy Enterprises, which owned the Century Theatres chain until it sold in 2006.
The company’s portfolio also includes the restaurant Tomatina and VillaSport health club.
The plan is to have VillaSport face East Bayshore Road, near Whipple Avenue, with 321 surface parking spaces.
The health club will feature exercise rooms, pools, an indoor gymnasium, spa and day care on two stories.
The entire project sits on 14 acres that Syufy owns.

Century 12 closed in 2003 and plans to redevelop it over the years never materialized.
In 2004, a project called Bayside Gardens was proposed for the property that included 600 rental apartments with a retail component.
The land is zoned currently for office park uses.
The new concept includes a mention of office and retail uses for the housing component of the project with no details provided.
In 2006, a proposal to lease the site for use by auto dealerships also fizzled.
A call to the developer was not returned.
The application is not deemed complete yet, which is why it is not posted on the city’s website.
