Temporary use authorization permits have been requested for the site at 10 South Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco’s Market & Octavia area plan. The application seeks to bring community and private events to the space previously occupied by the Lighthouse ArtSpace gallery, which was recently approved for a 67-story mixed-use skyscraper. NPU Inc., a San Francisco-based event management company, filed the application.

Crescent Heights is the property owner and sponsor for the approved 1,019-unit skyscraper development. The 820-foot-tall structure is expected to produce over 1.6 million square feet, including 1.56 million square feet of housing, 59,010 square feet for parking, and 11,820 square feet of ground-floor retail. The two-level basement garage will have capacity for 255 cars, with ground-floor space dedicated to 388 bicycles. Los Angeles-based architecture firm Arcadis is listed as responsible for the design.
Previous reporting by Douglas Sams for the San Francisco Business Times shared that the developer looked to start construction as early as next year. Now, the temporary use permits seek authorization to operate the event space for a three-year window, ending in mid-May of 2029. The applicant expects to book four to six events per month.
