New permits have been filed for a small mixed-use infill at 1333 Columbus Avenue by Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. The proposal will replace a fire-damaged structure with three homes and retail. Andy Christopherson, a partner of Santa Rosa-based Synergy Group, is listed as the property owner.

Berkeley-based DMARCstudio is responsible for the design. Illustrations show a modern street-facing facade, with a three-story curtain-wall glass box jutting out from a dark brick wall with vertical wood siding. The 47-foot tall tower will yield around 7,200 square feet, including 1,460 square feet of retail and bicycle parking. The three full-floor apartments will have two bedrooms.
The existing building was vacated after a 2018 fire, gutting the Irish bar and second-floor apartment. The over-century-old structure was constructed in 1901, though a Historic Review from Tim Kelly Consulting shares that the building is not considered eligible for historic listing. George Knopf, a local contractor, was the original owner and builder of the site from 1901 through 1905.

The development will cover a narrow 0.038-acre parcel at the northern end of Columbus Avenue across from the Joseph Conrad Mini Park between Beach Street and North Point Street. The application estimates construction will cost at least $950,000, a figure not inclusive of all development costs. The timeline for work to start has yet to be shared.

Sad this means that Fiddler’s Green isn’t coming back, but at least something will happen.
Sharp. I like it. Feels like the right kind of contemporary aesthetic and would be happy to see more of in other pockets of the city (but not too much 😉
Agree. This is one “modern” design that is well executed and works with the surrounding buildings.
What effin retail???
What possibly is going on there, come on.
