Demolition permits have been filed to make way for a mixed-use building at 2050 Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco’s Polk Gulch neighborhood. The proposal will add 63 new apartments into the residential-retail rich thoroughfare. 2050 Van Ness LLC is listed as responsible for the development, with representation from the law office of Zesara C. Chan.

The 72-foot structure will yield 58,090 square feet, of which 48,510 square feet will be for residential use. The majority of units, 46, will contain one bed, with eleven two-beds and six three-beds. 874 square feet will be dedicated to corner-spot ground-floor retail. 8,700 square feet will produce parking for twenty-four vehicles, 70 bicycles, and storage.

San Francisco-based Ian Birchall and Associates are responsible for the project design. The facade proposal is clad with composite aluminum panels, with aluminum fins adding depth. Floor-to-ceiling windows will offer plenty of natural lighting into each apartment. One unit on each floor will have access to a private twenty square-foot balcony, and all tenants will have a shared 140 square foot rooftop terrace.

With mechanical infrastructure on top, the building’s true height is just inches below the neighborhood’s 80-foot limit. The development will add four new trees to the street.
An estimated completion date has not been announced. City records show the project last sold in 2009 for $3.1 million, with the site currently valued at $3.6 million.
