Construction Tops Out For 4200 Geary Boulevard In Richmond District, San Francisco

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

Construction has topped out less than a year after the groundbreaking for the seven-story affordable senior housing complex at 4200 Geary Boulevard in San Francisco’s Richmond District. The project will add nearly a hundred homes to the busy neighborhood. The Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation is the project developer.

...

Sorell Raino-Tsui, founder of the ABG Art Group, is responsible for the mural artwork. Illustrations of the project show the art piece reflects the neighborhood’s diversity, with a Chinese Dragon seen above two onion domes with various patterns in the background. Significant progress can be spotted for the mural along the western elevation of the structure, with the larger features being complete.

Y.A. Studio is the project architect. Illustrations show the urban infill will have a well-balanced articulated facade, breaking apart the massing to appear like several structures. Facade materials will include cement fiber panels, composite paneling, ceramic tiles, and board-formed concrete.

I was referring to this, not just colored striping or whatever:

Prado Group Files Updated Plans For 3700 California Street, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON APRIL 11, 2024

Prado Group has submitted plans for the residential proposal at 3700 California Street in Presidio Heights, San Francisco. The new documents share that the developer plans to build 492 apartments on the former California Pacific Medical Center campus.

Prado Group purchased the site from TMG Partners and Grosvenor in late 2022 for $51.5 million, according to city records. Prado shares with the city that the proposal aims to create an urban infill that “knits back together the adjacent neighborhoods of Presidio Heights and Jordan Park.

...

The planning documents do not specify which architecture firm will be involved with the design. Previous plans were drafted by Robert A.M. Stern, the prominent American architect best known for embracing Modern Traditionalism.

New thread: SAN FRANCISCO | 1965 Market Street | 239 FT | 23 FLOORS

[JManc]

I really like that they incorporate the existing facade into the new project.

[38 Geary]

^ Agreed. And in the other thread, I mentioned this, but I also like how they broke up the massing by making it appear as two separate wall-to-wall buildings. It helps to reduce the visual bulk.

[BobbyMucho]

Def prefer the David Baker Architect's version. Better massing and materials (at least via what I saw) IMO.

This version is solid though. They could have reversed the height/massing to put the bulk on the intersection vs inside the block to help it feel a little more contextually appropriate.

I just hope this developer can keep up the momentum and follow through. I'm getting tired of all of these seeing everything shelved or selling approved plans.

Funding Secured For Affordable Housing At 1515 South Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON MAY 3, 2024

The State of California has helped secure new funds for 1515 South Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco’s Mission District. The Department of Housing and Community Development has awarded $37.9 million towards a 168-unit affordable housing proposal for the vacated site. Chinatown Community Development Center and the Mission Economic Development Agency are jointly responsible for the project.

...

David Baker Architects and YA Studio are collaborating on the design. Facade materials will include glazed tiles, stucco, sunshades, and decorative metal screens. The top will be capped with green roofing and solar panels. GLS is responsible for landscape architecture.

The proposal will rise next to Casa Adelante at 1296 Shotwell Street, another affordable housing complex developed by CCDC and MEDA. Construction is expected to start in late 2025 and last around two years. The estimated final cost for the project has not been shared.

Major Downtown Development Known as Parcel F Appears In Trouble, Developer Owes $70M Penalty

All signs are pointing to a major Transbay District development known as Parcel F, or 542-550 Howard Street, which was set to become the city's fifth-tallest building, being hopelessly stalled, and perhaps doomed, after the developer just missed another key deadline.

$100 Million Gift Paves Way for Affordable Artist Housing in San Francisco



Gabe Meline
May 10

A new San Francisco development that would provide affordable housing and studio space for artists took its first step toward completion Friday.

Buoyed by a $100 million gift from an anonymous donor, two nonprofits, Artists Hub on Market and Mercy Housing of California, filed plans with the city for 1687 Market St., the current site of the McRoskey Mattress Co. showroom.

The plans call for a 17-story building with 100 affordable apartments for artists, as well as studio space, practice rooms, a community center and a 99-seat black box theater. Though the construction price is not finalized, the gift was “based around the initial estimate” for such a project, according to Randall Kline, the president of Artists Hub on Market.

Extension Request For 130 Townsend Street In SoMa, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON MAY 14, 2024

An extension request has been filed for the proposed redevelopment of 130 Townsend Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The five-story office project, named Ampersand, was approved in 2021, but developer Presidio Bay Ventures hopes to extend the approval’s expiration date for another three years, still hoping to develop the centrally located parcel.

...

If built, Ampersand would produce two buildings. The first will adaptively reuse the existing two-story brick structure formerly known as the Inglenook Vineyard Agency, according to city records. Renderings for Ampersand show the four-story modern addition wrapped in terracotta louvers by Stanton Architecture rising above the over one-hundred-year-old structure.

The Stanford Building at 50 Stanford Street will replace a surface parking lot. The lower two floors will be established with a faux-historic facade composed of glazed terracotta and metal panels. The top three levels will be clad with metal panels similar to the Townsend Building.
