New renderings have been revealed for a seven-story residential infill at 250 Church Street in the Castro, San Francisco. The project will create 20 homes and ground floor retail. Kerman Morris Architects is now responsible for the design.
The 75-foot tall structure will yield 24,500 square feet with 18,990 square feet for housing, 1,920 square feet for retail, and 1,400 square feet of amenities. Parking will be included for 25 bicycles in a 700-square-foot room.

The architectural design by Kerman Morris is similar to the initial plans drafted by Schaub Li Architects. The project will conform to the irregularly shaped parcel with an articulated facade and bay windows. Facade materials will include horizontal siding, cementitious panels, decorative metal panels, and porcelain tiles.
City records show that the property was last sold in 2018 for just over $4 million. Demolition will be required for an existing single-story structure on a 0.12-acre parcel. The property is located between 15th Street and Market Street. New building and demolition permits for the project were filed in 2019 but have yet to be issued. The development makes use of Senate Bill 330 to expedite construction as well as the State Density Bonus to increase residential capacity by including affordable housing.

Woo! More housing by muni metro!
Good to make more affordable housing in a public transit avaible area and including bicycle parking
Can’t they keep that lovely brick façade? It would add so much to the ground floor pedestrian experience. Current design is a bit bleak.
