Nice, we need that housing. And the roof height is 483' now...gotta love how the state density bonus is forcing the construction of proper skyscrapers (so, more units) where the city wanted to build stunted baby highrises/midrises. SOMA/Mission Bay is the best part of the city to build more skyscrapers, due to how relatively underdeveloped it is, combined with the good transit access and proximity to downtown jobs (not to mention the ability for new highrises to blend in with existing skyscrapers that are right next door, for those people who are scared of tall buildings), so it's especially nice to see misguided attempts at keeping SF "quaint/charming/sunny/etc" (for example height limits, which are often pushed by people who just want to preserve views/parking/housing scarcity) get defeated there. I hope the same thing happens on a large scale in Western SOMA, which has some goofy height limits for its location. Anyways, time for a thread title update!

Renderings For 47-Story Residential Tower At 636 4th Street In SoMa, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON JULY 5, 2023

On the heels of new renderings published for 2700 Sloat Boulevard, another developer has shared illustrations for their own skyscraper in San Francisco. Details plans have been published for the 47-story residential tower at 636 4th Street, across from the San Francisco Caltrain Station in SoMa. Solbach Property Group is the project sponsor.

Solomon Cordwell Buenz is responsible for the design, which integrates historicized elements at the base of a sculptural obelisk. The exterior will be wrapped with corten steel cladding, perforated metal panels, and curtain-wall glass. The tower sits atop the eight-story podium deck, wrapped with a gridded street wall of corten steel inspired by SoMa’s industrial architecture.

In the planning document, the firm writes, “the body of the tower takes cues for its geometry from the shape of the site, which features an angled northwest property line creating a sharp vertical edge….” As a result, the wedged corner points tower the city’s financial district, while a series of segmented setbacks break apart the sheer corner with a zipper-like pattern. Facing 4th Street and Brannan, the tower will have a bowed facade curved outward towards the Bay. The southern wall features a column of slender balconies to accentuate the slender verticality.

Surfacedesign is overseeing the landscape architecture. The firm will oversee redesigning the street level with precast pavers along Pluxome Street and the retail plaza. Corten steel-walled planters will shelter the seating area and provide protection from cars. Ten new trees will be planted along the sidewalk. Additional landscaping will be included for each of the amenity terraces and private decks.

The 517-foot tall structure will yield around 595,000 square feet with 514,220 square feet for housing, 3,270 square feet for retail, and 75,500 square feet for the five-floor basement garage. Of the 520 rental apartments, there will be 122 studios, 187 one-bedrooms, 206 two-bedrooms, and five three-bedrooms. There will be 87 affordable homes, allowing Solbach to submit for the State Density Bonus program and increase residential capacity by 50% alongside waivers and concessions for zoning.

Parking will be included for 130 cars and 231 bicycles. Two loading spaces and the garage entry will be along Bluxome Street. Amenity spaces for residents will be included inside the second floor, on the ninth floor connected to the setback terrace, and on the 47th floor connected to the rooftop balcony.

The 0.4-acre property is located along 4th Street between Bluxome Street and Brannan Street. Demolition will be required for two existing low-slung structures. The proposal is one of several that could reshape the neighborhood surrounding Caltrain’s San Francisco station, including 665 4th Street, 330 Townsend Street, 490 Brannan Street, 88 Bluxome Street, 552 Brannan Street, 560 Brannan Street, and 598 Brannan Street. Construction has already started for 531 Bryant and 555 Bryant Street.

Construction is expected to last around 27 months for $320 million. Planning documents suggest demolition could start as early as 2025, though, with approval, that date is still being determined.

Yeah, Central SoMa is a great location to start building some high density construction. This one in particular is especially well located as it is just steps from multiple transit stops (4th & Brannan Muni Metro station along T Third, as well as the SF Caltrain Station and 4th & King Muni Metro station along N Judah).

I am curious to see what will become of 598 Brannan and 88 Bluxome.

Attractive. If it gets built, if not altered. I will see the broad side of it from the Civic Center IF I am still alive when built.

Speaking of 88 Bluxome: a notice of public hearing was posted over the weekend scheduled for July 27th. The attached plans that are being reviewed are from 2021. I'm assuming this is for the revised proposal that cuts the tennis club following the settlement in march?
