Plans Shift To Retail-Only For 2055 Chestnut Street in Marina District, San Francisco

Plans for a mixed-use redevelopment at 2055 Chestnut Street in San Francisco’s Marina District appear to have been nixed in favor of expanded retail space. Previously approved entitlements expected to replace the bank structure and surface parking with a 49-unit apartment complex with ground-floor retail. Now, the project will expand the existing structure across half the lot while retaining the Lombard Street-facing surface parking. The Prado Group is the project sponsor, filing on behalf of the Burlingame-based property owner, The Bruni Company.
