Plans Revised Once Again for Residential Phase at 960 Howard Street



By: Gabriel Clark-Clough 5:00 am on September 4, 2025

The plans for a project at 952-960 Howard Street in San Francisco have been revised several times from the original proposal. The newest project revision would make the building larger than the first design, but smaller than some of the other earlier concepts. oWow is listed as both developer and architect for the project.

Original permits were filed for the property site in 2021, with phase one of the project commencing in 2022. However, the designs for later phases have gone through several iterations without proceeding. SF YIMBY has followed design proposals for the project released in October 2021, October 2022, and February 2024. The proposal from 2024 marked the most ambitious of the project proposals, with outlines for a 19-story tower with 274 residential units.

...

The building’s exterior design is split into two parts. The residential area from phase two will rest atop a three-story podium-style base from phase one. The upper portion consists of blue and white insulated metal paneling, giving the building a well-articulated visual aspect with contrasting colors. Meanwhile, the lower floors will utilize darker grey coloring to help ground the building’s visual presence.
