Preliminary Permits For 8-Story Infill At 2201 Market Street, San Francisco
BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON JULY 13, 2023

New plans have been filed for an eight-story apartment tower at the triangular corner lot at 2201 Market Street in the Castro, San Francisco. The new plans represent an increase from plans approved in 2016 with 14 market-rate homes. Now, the project will create 20 units with three affordable apartments. Polaris Pacific is listed as the property owner.

The 85-foot tall structure will yield around 27,860 square feet, with 25,640 square feet for housing and 2,220 square feet for retail. Parking will be included for 23 bicycles and no cars. Unit sizes will vary with 13 one-bedrooms, six two-bedrooms, and one three-bedroom apartment. Two retail spaces will be crated, with the application stating that one space will be occupied by a Starbucks Coffee. This application, coincidently, is just around a decade after Starbucks filed doomed plans for the same parcel.

Of the 20 homes, three will be designated as affordable housing to households earning around 80% of the Area Median Income. This has allowed the developer to use the State Density Bonus program to increase residential capacity above base zoning.

Haven't heard much about this one. Does it have its own thread? Does anyone care about it even?

The building itself doesn’t have its own thread, but the TI project as a whole does.

In 2013 the San Francisco Planning Commission "shot down" a proposal by Starbucks to move into the space, per Socket Site. See link with drawing:

Love it! The cannot build it fast enough. Anything they can do to add more people to Market Street along that stretch will be welcome.

The project is using AB2011 which means: will not have to go through environmental review. It will not require Planning Commission approval. Nor will it have to receive the conditional-use authorization required for chains like Starbucks in many of the city’s retail corridors. Under the law, the city has 60 days to rule whether AB2011 applies to the project and another 90 days to give a final stamp of approval.

Glad they are planning to preserve the existing three-story facade with this one.

The specs:
- 6 FLOORS
- 35 units (35 studio); all of the units will be affordable
- 660 sq ft for retail
- Parking will be included for 0 cars and 35 bicycles

Affordable Redevelopment Proposed For 3300 Mission Street, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON JULY 21, 2023

Redevelopment permits have been filed for a six-story redevelopment of 3300 Mission Street in the Bernal Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. The plan will create 35 affordable housing units along the retail thoroughfare in the former 3300 Club. An LLC connected to Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center is the project developer.

The property was the subject of a five-alarm fire in 2016. According to Mission Local, Dipak Patel sold the site to Oak Mission LLC for $2.85 million. 3300 Mission Partners L.P. purchased the site later for $3.85 million. The plans for new affordable housing first surfaced with reporting by Laura Waxmann for the San Francisco Business Times.

The six-story infill will yield around 21,800 square feet with 19,460 square feet for housing, 540 square feet of open space, and 660 square feet for ground-level retail. All 35 apartments will be studio units. Parking will be included for 35 bicycles.

The project application writes that “The redevelopment will preserve the existing three-story façade along Mission Street and 29th Street and will connect with the new three-story structure above.” Interiors will be gutted for development. The preliminary application does not include renderings for the project.

The plan will receive a streamlined ministerial approval process. The estimated cost and timeline for construction has yet to be established.

Revised Plans For No Cars In 655 Geary Street, Tenderloin, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON JULY 22, 2023

A new planning application has been filed to revise permits for a 13-story residential tower at 655 Geary Street in the Tenderloin, San Francisco. The application will remove the car parking for the 2018-approved project, reducing the overall development price and promoting public transit. Weiya Noble of Geary Place LLC is listed as the property owner.

Demolition and new building permits had been filed and then withdrawn in 2013 for a 13-story residential tower with 35 homes. Second new building permits were issued in 2018 for a 13-story tower with 52 homes.

The current 139-foot plan will yield around 60,980 square feet, with 60,440 square feet for housing and 540 square feet for retail. Of the 52 apartments, six will be designated as affordable. Unit sizes will vary with ten studios, 24 one-bedrooms, 17 two-bedrooms, and one three-bedroom. Parking will be included for 58 bicycles.

ED2 International is the project architect. The narrow infill will rise above from the ground level with two bay windows on the north and south exposures. A carve-out of the west exposure will provide a light well for lower units. Amenity decks will be included on the 12th floor and rooftop.

Is that empty lot with a chain link fence around it?

Yep. According to the Google Streetview timeline, it was a 2 story building that housed the Career Resources Development Center until 2014 when it was demolished and it's been an empty lot ever since.

Meeting Thursday For Irish Cultural Center In Sunset District, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON JULY 25, 2023

The San Francisco Planning Department is expected to vote on plans for a new United Irish Cultural Center at 2700 45th Avenue in the Sunset District, San Francisco. The densely packed six-story institutional facility will create new community space, including a two-level Saint Patrick’s Room banquet hall, offices, and a public gallery.

The 96-foot tall structure will yield 129,540 square feet with 100,560 square feet for commercial and retail, 8,800 square feet for offices, 1,040 square feet for the 42-bicycle parking, and 6,060 square feet of usable open space. Additional parking will be included for 54 cars in the two-level subterranean garage.

The ground level will include three points of entry for pedestrians; public entry, a members-only entry, and restaurant entry. Members will be able to go down to the lowest basement floor, including a swimming pool and community recreation facility. The second level features the 5,810 square foot Saint Patrick’s Room Banquet Hall, including a 99-person theater stage and mezzanine level seating. The hall can host between 690 to 917 guests with theater-style seating or 358 to 456 guests with table seating.

The third floor will include four art galleries, a library with a reading room and research room, a children’s play area, and a garden. Floor four will include offices for non-profit, administrative offices, a dance studio, a children’s classroom, and a conference room. The fifth floor will have a gym, two exercise studios, a cafe, and a physical therapy center. Topping the Irish Cultural Center will be two outdoor dining areas with fire pit tables, restaurant seating, a member’s lounge, and a garden.

San Francisco-based Studio BANAA is responsible for the design. The firm writes that the massing has “a solid massing of blue Kilkenny limestone from Ireland houses the more intimate, member-focused programs. The rooftop is the crowning glory, with four quadrants representing the four provinces of Ireland.”

Glad to see this one making progress. This lot is the last piece in modernizing what had been a pretty forlorn intersection a decade ago. Hopefully some day the Chase bank gets replaced with housing, but that’s lower hanging fruit as it doesn’t front Market.

Ah next to the middle finger tower. Somehow I doubt they'll be happy with 96 feet either.
