Affordable Housing For Artists Proposed At 1687 Market Street, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON MAY 15, 2024

Permits have been filed for the proposed 17-story mixed-use project at 1687 Market Street in San Francisco. The development would replace the historic three-story McRoskey Mattress store at the corner of Gough Street with affordable housing and an artist’s community. Mercy Housing is responsible for the application on behalf of the Artists Hub on Market.

...

Mark Cavagnero Associates is responsible for the design, and Sausalito-based Shades of Green is the landscape architect. Illustrations show the glassy building with white vertical elements along the facade. The podium will be delineated by three floors of transparent glass curtainwall overlooking the double-height events lobby and the third-floor rehearsal studio will visually emphasize the arts community space.

Demolition will be required for the McRoskey Mattress Company, which has occupied the two-story structure since its completion in 1925. The historic structure was designed by the O’Brien Brothers with classical revival features.

New Renderings For Artists Hub On Market, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON JULY 19, 2024

New renderings have been published for the mixed-use plans by the local non-profit Artists Hub on Market at 1687 Market Street. The project, now one floor shorter than initially proposed, still plans to create 102 affordable housing units on top of three floors of community arts space. Mercy Housing is the project developer.

Artists Hub on Market was founded in 2022 by the local Randall Kline. Kline is best known for running SFJazz since 1983. In 2013, the non-profit opened the $64-million SFJazz Center at 201 Franklin Street, with the design by the same architect responsible for drafting the Artists Hub, Mark Cavagnero Associates. In May of this year, the team announced that the development was made possible by an anonymous $100 million gift.

...

Before construction, crews will remove a surface parking lot and demolish the 1925-built McRoskey Mattress Company building. The three-story structure is adorned with wide floor-to-ceiling windows and classical features. According to the initial application, construction was estimated to cost around $74.5 million, not including all development costs. Construction could start as early as December 2025 and be completed by 2027, an optimistic estimate that could be achieved with streamlined approval using State law.
