Formal permits have been filed for an eight-story apartment complex at 222 Capp Street in the Mission District of San Francisco. The project is looking to replace a surface parking lot between 17th and 18th Street, just over a block from the 16th Street BART Station. Align Real Estate is listed as the project applicant.

The 84-foot-tall structure is expected to yield approximately 56,980 square feet, including 51,400 square feet of housing, 5,560 square feet of ground-level parking, and 2,000 square feet of open space. Parking will be included for 12 cars and 70 bicycles. Of the 70 units, 11 will be deed-restricted as affordable housing. Unit sizes will vary with 21 studios, 21 one-bedrooms, and 28 two-bedrooms.
The 0.21-acre property is located along Capp Street on a block bound by 17th Street, 18th Street, and Mission Street. Future residents will be a few blocks away from the In Chan Kaajal Park, and two blocks from the Valencia Street commercial thoroughfare.

I applaud the air space provided on the north elevation to allow windows so it’s not a blank wall. I’m curious if there is an air space for windows on the south side.
