SAN FRANCISCO | Projects: Under Construction, Approved, and Proposed

[Jerry of San Fran]

New renderings for 945 Market Street for Ikea. Seems like a lot of unnecessary changes to me. But with that said it is a good looking result.

Some really solid infill. The neighborhood appropriate massing/height on a small footprint resulting in high density, the brick, the absence of parking spaces for cars. It's perfect. Hope this gets approved and built.

Nine-Story Infill Proposed For 1233 Folsom Street, SoMa, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON JULY 11, 2022

New plans have been filed for a nine-story residential infill at 1233-1237 Folsom Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The proposal aims to create 44 new homes and a micro tourist hotel space on a 0.1-acre plot of land. Shatara Architecture is leading the design and application.

The 90-foot tall structure will yield approximately 39,800 square feet with 26,060 square feet for housing, 3,640 square feet for bicycle storage, 650 square feet for the ground-level retail, and 860 square feet for the two-key tourist hotel on the second floor.



Unit sizes will vary with 26 studios around 444 square feet each and 18 two-bedrooms averaging 806 square feet. The structure will contain around 5,500 square feet of open space between the private-access rear yard, in-unit balconies, and two rooftop amenity decks.

Renderings show the design by Shatara Architecture is a straightforward brick apartment infill. According to the application, Shatara writes that the exterior “demonstrates both design clarity and an overall organizing idea that expresses and corresponds to the functions contained within.”

Parking will be included for 64 bicycles, with 12 spaces designated for electric bicycle storage. The development will not have on-site vehicle parking, a decision that will benefit the city’s traffic, transit, and environmental footprint.

The property is on a block bound by Folsom, Harrison, 8th, and 9th Street. Several bus stops are accessible in the immediate area traveling in all directions. For regional transit, the Civic Center BART Station is just eight minutes away on foot or by bus.

The proposal uses the State Density Bonus Program, Senate Bill 330, and the Housing Accountability Act. Including four very-low-income units allows the project to exceed existing zoning and increase housing capacity. The base zoning would allow for just 29 units and a rooftop height of 65 feet.

I am really liking the Nine-Story Infill Proposed For 1233 Folsom Street in SoMa. We need much more of this. The facade looks really sharp.

I haven't seen (Dr.) "Pedestrian" post anything for weeks. He used to post here and on the current events boards. His posts were very informative, especially on medical issues, and he would often reply to medical questions. Hope everything is O.K. with you Pedestrian, and hope to see you post again!

He’s still active on SF Yimby. He was suspended here briefly for violating SSP rules and policies but has decided not to return. We will see if he ultimately decides to return.

Pedestrian, forget the suspension. Come back. Your advice and input was valuable, especially on medical issues like covid. Don't let the trolls and anti free speech group think types win.

I too noticed the absence of Pedestrian. Sorry to hear that he has left the skyscraperpage. He was always on up to date on things.

Ped will be back when he decides to put on his big boi pants.

Anyways, back on topic. Not looking good for the future of office space in SF.

Office Vacancy Rate in S.F. Was Holding at a Pandemic High
July 18, 2022



Having hit a pandemic high of 21.7 percent in the first quarter of 2022, the effective office vacancy rate in San Francisco was unchanged in the second quarter of this year, representing 18.7 million square feet of vacant office space in the city, with a slight decrease in the amount of space which is technically leased but sitting vacant and being offered as a sublet (which inched down from 5.3 million to 5.0 million square feet) having been offset by an increase in the amount of un-leased space, which increased from 13.4 million to 13.7 million square feet, according to data from Cushman & Wakefield.

As a point of comparison, there was less than 5 million square feet of vacant office space in San Francisco prior to the pandemic with a vacancy rate of 5.7 percent and the vacancy rate in San Francisco has averaged closer to 12 percent over the long term.

...

In addition, while the tally for the second quarter vacancy rate in San Francisco did include Google’s agreement to sublease 300,000 square feet of space at 510 Townsend, it did not include the 412,000 square feet of space that Salesforce is now offering for sublet in its tower at 50 Fremont Street, the inclusion of which would push the office vacancy rate in San Francisco to over 22 percent with over 19 million square feet of effectively vacant space.
