Preliminary permits have been filed for a lot split and new housing at 853 Church Street in San Francisco’s Dolores Heights neighborhood. The proposal hopes to use Senate Bill 684 to replace a freestanding garage with a new single-family house. The property owner is listed as a local individual.

Troy Kashanipour Architecture is responsible for the application and design. Illustrations show a four-story house with two boxy bay windows and a top-floor balcony. The facade will be clad with a smooth white material, likely composed of fiber cement or stucco. The new building is expected to yield around 2,000 square feet, including a one-car garage.
The property is located along Church Street between Liberty Street and 21st Street. The site is half a block from the top of Mission Dolores Park.

mediocre at best.
A new construction, 2,000 square foot single family home with a garage a block from Dolores? That’ll be four million dollars in cash, AI engineer.
Add a rooftop deck and get another 300K minimum.
For those hunting on maps, the actual address appears to be 278 Liberty St.
We could use 4000 more of these throughout the city. Infill all of the single story garages/waiting areas for Recology and Salvation Army pickups and build housing. Every alley lined with detached garages should get the same treatment—slightly smaller ADU cottage homes, built above a garage. It’s common sense at this point.
That’s the tip of the iceberg. There should be no single story retail…demolish and rebuild with 3-10 stories of residential over that retail store. There should be no surface parking lots…build there, too. Those two alone will keep SF construction workers busy for 100 years.
Great insight on the property value, Panhandle Pro. It’s wild to see a single garage turn into a $4M asset, but that’s just Church St for you. Since these developments are clearly targeting the high-end tech crowd, I’ve been looking into the local financial compliance and some of the newer digital platforms being discussed in these circles lately. Does anyone here know if there’s any connection between these local real estate developers and the expansion of offshore fintech or betting entities like GuiadePayprobetColumbia.com into the US market, or are they strictly staying within the Colombian regulatory framework for now? Trying to gauge the long-term stability of these investment flows before jumping into the local market.
