Increased Plans Filed For 425 Broadway In San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON FEBRUARY 16, 2024

Increased plans have been filed for 425 Broadway in San Francisco. The latest proposal would replace the 144-car garage, just three blocks from the Transamerica Pyramid, with 74 homes. The new filing is a substantial increase compared to the previous 41-unit application, and it only raises the project height by one floor. Construction would bring two separate buildings and a pedestrian alleyway to the L-shaped parcel along Broadway and Montgomery Street.

...

Both structures will yield 85,250 square feet, with 77,300 square feet for housing and 7,500 square feet for ground-level retail. Three retail spaces will be added along the narrow pedestrian path extending from Montgomery Street into a sheltered outdoor common area. The pathway, to be named Verdi Alley, will feature landscaping, a green wall, and public seating outside of the future shops.

...

Ian Birchall & Associates is responsible for the design. The overall design style has not changed, with articulation, setbacks, and angular Bay Windows overlooking Verdi Alley. The architecture firm describes the project as “geode-like, the two buildings feature brick tile street facades that give way to reveal a multifaceted inner courtyard.” A rooftop deck will cap the taller structure, providing all residents with access to views across the neighborhood and the Financial District.

Great shots.

What's MUNI got against a green trackway? How good would that look for Judah?

Muni usually goes with red for its colorized transit lanes, but for some reason it seems like they do it for bus lines only. They just repaved some parts of L Taraval but did not paint it in any color. I think it would look pretty good though if it were red all the way. On N Judah, it's only in certain areas.

1554 Market St. - Notice of Hearing - The twin towers have been empty since completed & was beginning to become an eyesore with vandalism on the property. The new owner is going to change the building from condominiums to apartment rentals. Glad to see this troubled development will be occupied this year. (the 1554 Market St. thread has been closed).

Renderings Revealed For Affordable Senior Housing In Mission District, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON FEBRUARY 22, 2024

New renderings have been revealed for the proposed affordable senior housing project at 2675 Folsom Street in San Francisco’s Mission District. The application shows the development will create 237 units and supportive services. ABS Partners Real Estate is the property owner.

...

David Baker Architects is responsible for the design. The project plans will create two structures in a V-formation attached by a hallway. The structure will be clad with concrete, metal panels, cement plaster, glazed tiles, brick, and lap siding. Perforated metal panels will add aesthetic value and give shade to apartment windows. The massing will feature setbacks and the complex will hug a triangular courtyard improved with a meditation garden, outdoor fitness area, seating, and a fire pit. Additional open space will be fitted with rooftop gardens on top of both structures. Communitas Design is the landscape architect.

The property’s shape was formed by the former Southern Pacific Transportation Company train route, which cuts diagonally through the Mission District neighborhood.

Should be much taller, to provide more housing to seniors. It seems the city always under-builds low income and senior housing.

It could be taller but the number of units is actually decent for its size. North Ping Yuen (pictured below) in Chinatown is 12 stories but actually only has 200 units (although the breakdown of unit types allows for more residents--45 studio, 33 1BR, 100 2BR, 22 3BR). But yes, overall I do agree we should be building more low income and senior housing, and taller buildings as well, since we do have precedents for 10+ story low income housing in dense neighborhoods.

We need more of these 8-15 story housing projects lining Golden Gate Park.

Bigger is better! And glad they were able to find a way to adaptively reuse the existing base facade. Hopefully the main tower will utilize some of the architectural elements of the existing facade to help with continuity of design.

Updated specs for 1088 Sansome St:
- 19 floors, 238 ft
- 132 units (37 1BR, 78 2BR, 17 3BR)
- 22 of the units will be affordable
- 15,480 sq ft for retail
- Parking for 0-132 cars and 7 bicycles

Plans Increased For 1088 Sansome Street, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON MARCH 7, 2024

Updated preliminary plans have been filed for a slightly taller iteration at 1088 Sansome Street in the Northern Waterfront neighborhood of San Francisco. The proposal has increased from 17 to 19 floors, with its residential capacity increased by 20 units. Significantly, this latest plan preserves the facade of the existing landmarked structure. Angus McCarthy is the property owner.

...

Mark Horton Architecture is responsible for the application and design. Illustrations show that the existing structure’s facade will be nearly identical if redeveloped, though details about the potential architectural features of the 16-story tower remain scarce. The elevation shows a curtain-wall glass skin framed by a grid of beams, likely made of metal, though its color and texture are not specified.

...

The proposal has also been the impetus for an ongoing legislative story, which has led Board President and preservationist advocate Aaron Peskin, who represents the district that 1088 Sansome Street is in, to renege on prior zoning relaxation and reinstate prior density limits to the Jackson Square and Northeast Waterfront Historic Districts. The Board of Supervisors recently approved the ordinance on a vote of 8 to 3.

Overall, happy to see some residential being planned for the Northern Waterfront area. I'm curious to see what the actual renderings look like given we only have a basic elevation rendering. Not a fan of the podium, and wish there was a way to adaptively reuse the existing base facade. Would also like to see the parking come down to about a third of what is being planned, in keeping with SF's transit orientation, although I understand this area is not particularly transit rich for SF's standards.

The specs for 1088 Sansome St:
- 17 floors, 203 ft
- 102-112 units
- 15,300 sq ft for ground-level commercial office space
- Parking for 112 cars and ? bicycles

Nice recent aerial, shot by Marcus. With the mini IFC and BOC Tower analogs and the ships and piers in the bay, it's giving HK.
