Preliminary plans have been filed for a new residential infill project at 668 Guerrero Street in San Francisco’s Mission District. The proposal will include 11 for-ownership units and an accessory dwelling unit. Paul Kraaijvanger of Real Equity Group One is listed as the property owner.
The 70-foot-tall structure is expected to yield around 20,480 square feet, including 13,590 square feet for housing and 3,000 square feet for the ten-car garage. An additional room will be made for 12 bicycles. Apartment types will vary with two one-bedrooms, seven two-bedrooms, and three three-bedrooms.

RG Architecture is responsible for the design. Illustrations show a streamlined contemporary facade clad with shiplap siding, cast-in-place concrete, and standing-seam metal roofing. The flat exterior is punctuated by small balconies with wood soffits.
The applicant invokes Senate Bill 423 and the State Density Bonus law to achieve a 100% bonus above base zoning. Of the 11 units, two will be designated as affordable housing.

The narrow 0.09-acre property is located between 18th and 19th Street along the busy Guerrero Street thoroughfare, running between the park-side Dolores Street and retail-rich Valencia Street.
The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be shared.

That’s kind of a cool design and a good place to build something like this….as long as all of the residents don’t have cars that they need to back out onto Guerrero. And, as long as it’s not clad in cheap-ass Hardiplank.
The garage door facing Guerrero is the entrance, while cars will exit via the rear alley.
Really? Not sure how that is possible, doesn’t it face people’s backyards?
That top-floor unit with the vaulted ceilings will be very special. Great location for Tartine lovers
Good grief!! Talk about a Monster in the Mission!!
LOL. This is what a net improvement of a situation looks like, in case you didn’t know.
The tragedy is the waste of land presently there.
I think a monster in the Mission would consist of 100+ units and something the City needs.
Eleven units a monster does not make – unless it’s in the suburbs surrounded by blocks one-story single family homes – and this monster would add some character to a bland area.
Always wondered why that lot was so under utilized. This is a great spot for this on Guerrero.
I live nearby and I hope this gets off the ground asap.
What an amazingly pedestrian design. A first year architecture student could have done better considering the lack of contextualism. Living a block from here I can tell you this horrid box will be the latest graffiti magnet.
