Application Filed For 2335 Golden Gate Avenue In Inner Richmond, San Francisco
BY: PALAK JAPLOT 4:30 AM ON JUNE 23, 2021
Applications have been submitted seeking the approval of new construction at 2335 Golden Gate Avenue in Inner Richmond, San Francisco. The project proposal includes the construction of an intercollegiate training gymnasium with on-site amenities. Oculus Architects Inc is managing the design concepts and construction.
The proposed development will bring a gymnasium with restrooms, coaches’ offices, and conference rooms. The project will be built above an existing parking garage, the roof of the garage will continue to function as a surface parking lot. The gymnasium court will be constructed on the first level of the building above the parking garage. The gymnasium will provide on-site amenities half a level above the gym and connect to the mezzanine level of the adjacent existing War Memorial Gymnasium. The estimated cost of construction is $110 million.
The University of San Francisco (USF) was mentioned in this blog post as if it was a tangential part of this plan. That is strange. Not even part of the headline.

^^Numerous references to “campus” and “intercollegiate” and so on and I assume most locals, like almost everybody posting here, know who’s campus that is. But SFYIMBY does sometimes have odd neighbohood classifications and other categorizations. I would call this Lone Mountain, for example, not Inner Richmond.

agree, I also found that strange and a little confusing - took me a minute to sort that out
I’m sort of sad to see the Federal Building is getting what looks like an eight foot tall security fence. No doubt it needs some buffer to keep trash and vagrants out, but daaaamn.
- All the bus lanes of the Van Ness BRT project now seem to be paved. There's still a lot of work to be done on paving the islands, repairing temporary sidewalk damage, erecting shelters and lighting, landscaping and so on, but the completion of the red bus paving is good news
- Something is happening on Howard St directly across from the 5M project (odd numbered side of the 900 block). There is all sorts of heavy equipment on the former parking lot and they are demoing the wooden building next to it along Howard. A quick search didn't reveal what this is about. Anybody know?
Sorry I couldn't take any pictures--was on my scooter and needed both hands on the handlebars.
Glad to hear there's possible development going up on that parking lot along Howard. The 5th & Mission parking super structure is nearby, so another surface parking lot so close is just redundant.
PS: Thanks for the info on Howard St. I searched for it and didn't see anything. It needs a thread. Since timbal reported it, he should have the "honor" but if nobody else does it for a day or two I will.
there was some demolition happening across Howard from 5M. would be nice if this means that plot will get filled in soon, in combo with 5M will make a big difference to the northern portion of Fifth

the affordable one at the foot of Telegraph Hill (side note: appears the Teatro ZinZanni project, which would go up in the foreground of this pic, has been delayed, but I don't have any new info on it)
It still should have a thread as a place to put updates and future progress so I'll make one in "proposals" (for now . . . until it enters the construction phase).
The San Francisco Planning Department has published the draft environmental review for 2500 Mariposa Street in the Mission District of San Francisco. The proposed project would create 575 dwelling units on top of an expanded transit facility.
The 150-foot development will yield approximately 1.3 million square feet, with 544,000 square feet for residential use, 4,000 square feet for ground-floor retail, 52,000 square feet of offices, 576,000 square feet for the transit facility, and 91,000 square feet of usable open space. Parking will be included for 213 buses, 91 SFMTA staff vehicles, and 736 residential bicycles. Of the approximately 575 units to be produced, half will be rented as affordable. Unit sizes will range from studios to three bedrooms.
The draft environmental review document includes information about four alternatives that mitigate construction’s environmental and architectural impact. Alternative A would involve no construction, leaving the existing SFMTA capacity with 24 maintenance bays and parking for 214 SFMTA vehicles. Alternative B offers full preservation of the 45-foot tall office wing along Mariposa Street that had been deemed architecturally significant, demolishes the maintenance and operations building, produces just 477 units, 16 maintenance repair bays, parking for 270 SFMTA vehicles, and reduces the overall building area by 240,000 square feet.
Alternative C would partially preserve the office building and reduce the built area by 230,000 square feet. Alternative C also includes 459 residential units and capacity for 283 SFMTA vehicles. Alternative D would see the transit facility built without housing to have 18 maintenance repair bays and the capacity for 310 SFMTA vehicles.

They are targeting to have groundbreaking in 2023 and occupancy as early as the end of 2026.
