Renderings have been revealed for a seven-story building at 1601 Ocean Avenue in Ingleside, San Francisco. Plans for the site have increased slightly since our previous coverage in April, and are now expected to produce over a hundred rental apartments on the corner lot. The property owner is now listed as a Pasadena-based individual.

S-AC Design Group is the project applicant and architect, filing on behalf of the property owner. Illustrations show the exterior will be heavily articulated with a contrast of white stucco, black brick veneer, and horizontal wood-like panels.
The 79-foot-tall structure is expected to yield around 100,870 square feet, including roughly 87,600 square feet of housing and 5,800 square feet of ground-level retail. Unit types will vary with 31 studios, 26 one-bedrooms, 34 two-bedrooms, 8 three-bedrooms, and two penthouses with four bedrooms. Of the 101 units, 18 will be deed-restricted as affordable to low-income households.

The property was previously owned by TJ Development since 2015. The firm had been pursuing new housing for the site for over a decade, with plans increasing from 48 units to 92 units over the span of nearly a decade. It’s unclear if or for how much the property sold. The project team has yet to reply to a request for comment.
The 0.4-acre property is located along Ocean Avenue between Capitol Avenue and Faxon Avenue. Future residents will be along a retail-rich thoroughfare, and a block away from the light rail. Construction is currently progressing a few blocks away for the Balboa Reservoir redevelopment, across from the City College of San Francisco.

The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be shared. The application invokes Assembly Bill 2011 to streamline the approval process for housing in commercial zones.

Long live The Ave!!! Sniff.
No mention of parking??
It’s right next to transit so parking js not needed and would likely increase traffic in the neighborhood.
