Plans have surfaced for a potential office-to-housing conversion and expansion of a three-story office building at 2300 Stockton Street in San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf neighborhood. Initial documents show the applicant is looking to increase the floor count and bring new residences to the city’s popular tourism neighborhood. Thousand Architects is responsible for the plans.
The latest filing is not a permit application or preliminary permit. The developer expects to utilize the recently approved Family Zoning Plan’s height limit to achieve the expected residential capacity. The San Francisco Family Zoning Plan was approved by the Board of Supervisors in early December and will be enacted on January 31st, 2026.

The initial filing looks to increase the floor count by two levels, and overall floor area from 62,300 square feet to 90,160 square feet. The project is looking to add 70 units across all five floors, though overall capacity and other features are likely to evolve.
The 1970-built structure, formerly occupied by the Academy of Art University, was recently listed for sale by Marcus & Millichap. The team is asking $16.4 million for the 0.87-acre commercial lot and structure. The local institution announced plans to sell off ten properties from its real estate portfolio in October this year.
The property is located along Stockton Street between Beach Street and North Point Street. The site is half a block away from Pier 39 and five blocks from the Aquatic Cove.

Nice! Love to see office-residential conversions (esp in this part of the city). Great building for a conversion IMPO. Fingers crossed the architect maintains the existing curtain wall and uses the same or complimentary materials and window pattern on the two additional floors.
