Plans for 250-Foot-Tall Ballet School Tower and Plaza Moving Ahead
February 13, 2018
The plans for a 27-story tower to rise up to 250 feet in height at the intersection of Otis, South Van Ness Avenue and 12th Street are being refined and the environmental impact report (EIR) for the proposed project, which includes a 10-story podium across the site, is about to be prepared.
The proposed Hub District development now includes a total of 423 apartments (42 studios, 261 one-bedrooms, 111 twos and 9 threes) over 16,600 square feet of replacement space for the existing City Ballet School on the 30 Otis Street site which is slated to be razed; 5,600 square feet of ground floor retail space which would divided in three; and a garage for 74 cars and 361 bikes.
Proposed Ballet School Tower Complex Closer to Reality
September 13, 2018
While its overall height and envelope remain the same, one floor has been eliminated from the proposed 250-foot-tall Hub District tower and podium to rise at the intersection of Otis, South Van Ness Avenue and 12th Street, as newly rendered by Gould Evans.
As such, the now 26-story tower and 9-story podium complex would yield a total of 416 smaller apartments (now a mix of 212 studios, 98 one-bedrooms and 106 twos) over 16,000 square feet of replacement space for the existing City Ballet School (which currently sits on the 30 Otis Street site); a reduced 2,200 square feet of ground floor retail space divided in three; and a little larger garage for 95 cars and 224 bikes.
. . . the proposed development includes a new Hub District plaza on the corner and re-working of 12th Street as well.
And with the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the proposed tower slated to be certified in two weeks time, the development could soon be approved.
The rug shop in the corner has already moved out but the auto repair shop behind it on 12th is still going strong. A crew did dig some deep holes in the sidewalk this week, not sure what for.
Are there any plans to do something with the major Market Van ness intersection itself? Roundabout? Fountains? Sculptures? Right now it’s a pretty depressing, desolate place.

A roundabout with fountains and sculptures would be nice.
No change appears from the May 3 aerial. However, whenever Malcom is on site it can be hard to tell what level of work is happening. Could all be subterranean.
