San Francisco Peninsula Press Club: Times building to be sold, redeveloped

The home of the San Mateo County Times for the past 43 years is about to be sold to a developer who wants to replace it with townhouses, the San Mateo Daily News reported today.

Last June the Times moved out of the 40,000-square-foot building at 1080 S. Amphlett Blvd. and into a newer, smaller space at 477 Ninth St. MediaNews has been looking to sell the building for more than a year as the company has consolidated its newspaper holdings on the Peninsula. The amount of money MediaNews will get for the building wasn't disclosed in the Daily News story. The Daily News is owned by MediaNews.
