Renderings Revealed For 1270 Bush Street, Nob Hill, San Francisco
BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON MAY 26, 2021

New renderings have been revealed for a proposed 16-story senior living project at 1270 Bush Street, by the LGBTQ+ Polk-Gulch thoroughfare, in Nob Hill San Francisco. The proposal would add 195 new units, of which 42 will offer assisted living care. Paceline Investors is responsible for the project.

The 161-foot tall structure would be a significant response to the city’s housing crisis. It will rise from an 18,900 square foot parcel to yield 199,440 square feet. From that space, 152,600 square feet will be for residential use, and 46,840 square feet will be for the assisted living care and administrative offices between levels one and five. Of the 195 units, 42 will be assisted living care, while the rest offer independent living for the senior residents. Several apartments will be connected with a private balcony overlooking Bush and Larkin Street.

Residential resources will include a ground-level lobby lounge and an amenities level on the second floor. The interior amenities include an art studio, bar, fitness center, spa, library, and cinema theater. A 3,685 square foot inner-lot garden will provide a dedicated space to get fresh air and spend time outside.

The fifth floor will include another outdoor space with an 800-square foot loggia patio. The rooftop will also have an open-air terrace facing City Hall, Bernal Heights, and even downtown San Francisco if one looks left from the railing.

SmithGroup is responsible for the design. The facade will include a brick veneer four-floor base, with the rest of the building clad with glass fiber reinforced concrete panels. Curtain wall glass will flood natural light into the ground floor lobby, admin offices, and amenity spaces on the second and fifth floors.

The project is in a preliminary stage and is liable to evolve with feedback from the city. The estimated completion date and projected costs have not yet been published . . . .

Nice that they will retain some of the original facade, or at least pay homage to it.

New Plans for Big Polk Gulch Infill Project
August 4, 2021

The Planning Department’s preliminary review of the draft plans for a 16-story building, with 198 units of senior housing, to rise on the northeast corner of Larkin and Bush has raised a number of issues, including the proposed height of the development (which “far exceeds the Zoning Map maximum height of 80 feet”) and the claimed density bonus for the proposed project (which appears to have been miscalculated).

That being said, the results of the preliminary review could be moot as a new set of plans for the site are being drawn. And as newly envisioned, but yet to be rendered or fully spec(ifie)d, a 132-unit apartment building could now rise on the site, with two ground floor commercial/retail spaces as well.

Keep in mind that the existing building on the 1270 Bush Street site, which was built in 1914 for the Taxicab Company of California, was identified as a historic resource when surveyed for San Francisco’s Historic Auto Row . . . .
