Updated plans have been filed for a residential development at 1844 Church Street in San Francisco’s Fairmount Heights. The proposal would add two units to the low-slung neighborhood between Noe Valley and Glen Park. The property owner is listed as a local individual.
The three-story project is expected to yield around 5,930 square feet, including 5,430 square feet of housing and around 500 square feet for the ground-level garage. There will be two three-bedroom dwelling units split between the complex and a backyard, with rear-facing terraces on each floor.

Troy Kashanipour Architecture is responsible for the design. New illustrations show a contemporary-style urban infill, with a two-story bay window above the residential lobby and a rooftop setback. Demolition of the existing single-story house is expected. City records show the 1892-built property last sold in 2011 for $825,000. In a 2013 historic resource evaluation, the existing structure was found to have no historic significance.
The narrow parcel is located along Church Street between 30th Street and Randall Street. The site is close to the city-run Upper Noe Recreation Center and two blocks from Dolores Huerta Elementary School.

Construction is estimated to cost around $1.45 million, a figure not inclusive of all development costs. The projected construction timeline has not yet been shared.

It needs to be 15 stories and 1200 units!😩😎
Lol @ ‘Fairmont heights’ 😂
Dreadful design. We shouldn’t be tearing down naturally affordable housing like this in order to cram two more tech bros into Noe Valley. What is there is charming and very San Francisco. What will replace it is anything but.
Why are you even on this website if you’re a NIMBY? Go back to Facebook or where ever
Not a NIMBY. You have seen me support many projects here.
Not a YIMBY either, because y’all are crazy free-market, trickle-down zealots who have zero concern for anything remotely related to thoughtful urban design, historic preservation, or open space development. You guys are frightening in your single-mindedness.
Oh, shush. What an imbecilic comment. How do you know the owner doesn’t want to put their in-laws or kids in the 2nd unit?? This is exactly the kind of project that not only should be welcomed but given financial incentive in SF (which it isn’t, so that’s why you hardly ever see projects like this).
The dumpy little cottage they’re tearing down here likely smells of mold and is not worth saving. Oh and also: There is nothing ‘naturally affordable’ about any kind of SFH in this prime of a neighborhood of SF.
Well, hey, you want an uglier, harsher San Francisco I guess. Why does everyone else have to get in line behind tech bro ensheettification?
Fairmount Heights?? This part of Church Street looks pretty flat to me.
I lived nearby for years, never heard it called Fairmont Heights. I suspect some real estate agent got creative to try to make it sound better and raise the price of a place for sale.
4th generation San Franciscan here. I’ve never heard of Fairmont Heights
Fairmount Heights is a real neighborhood. It’s an old tract going back to the 1860s. It is basically everything from 30th Street south to around Castro Street in Glen Park.
