New building and demolition permit requests have been filed for a 27-story infill tower at 777 Sutter Street in San Francisco’s Lower Nob Hill neighborhood. The filings come less than two months after the planning applications were approved. FORMA Development Design & Management is the project sponsor and architect.
The application was granted ministerial approval from the city’s planning department after being deemed eligible for Senate Bill 423 streamlining. Of the 36 units, six will be deed-restricted as affordable housing.

The now-approved 251-foot-tall structure is expected to yield around 77,900 square feet, including 49,920 square feet of housing and 1,410 square feet of commercial space. The retail will be split between the first and second floors. Apartment sizes will vary with two studios, four three-bedrooms, 15 four-bedrooms, and 15 five-bedrooms. Basement parking will be provided for 36 bicycles.
Demolition will be required for the single-story structure, formerly occupied by the famous French Restaurant, Fleur de Lys, until its closing in 2014. In the mid-2000s, the Fleur de Lys was considered one of the best restaurants in the country. Plans for the future tower will include screenprint depictions of the fleur-de-lis pattern as homage to the dining institution.
