San Francisco's French American International School has submitted plans for a mixed-use 31-story tower in a neighborhood primed for more density.

The K-12 private school's preliminary proposal at 98 Franklin St. calls for a 320-foot highrise with 301 residential units atop lower-level school facilities. The site is within the city's Market Street Hub study area, where the city seeks to increase heights for more housing, public space, transit and space for artists. The plan is expected to be approved by the end of 2018. The 98 Franklin St. site currently has a height limit of 85 feet and would require the Hub plan's zoning changes to move forward.

The project's preliminary project assessment (PPA) calls for 280,650 square feet of residential space, 70,000 square feet of academic space in four floors, 5,900 square feet of retail and 15,240 square feet of open space . . . .
