Demolition permits have been filed for three existing structures within the Freedom West housing cooperative in San Francisco’s Fillmore District. The application would bolster the construction of the first new complex of the Freedom West 2.0 masterplan with over a hundred units of affordable senior housing at 880 McAllister Street. MacFarlane Partners and Avanath Capital Management are the project sponsors.

The proposed new construction at 880 McAllister Street is expected to rise seven floors at the corner of McAllister Street and Laguna Street. The 73-foot-tall structure will yield around 104,500 square feet, including 103,300 square feet of housing and 1,200 square feet of retail. Parking will be included for 15 bicycles. The complex will include 115 units, with 80 one-bedrooms and 35 two-bedrooms.
DLR Group is the design architect, working with landscape architect Hood Design Studio. Previously shared renderings show a contemporary interpretation of the existing late modernist buildings, using a similar color palette across the articulated facade and an emphasis on rectilinear shape.

Historic resource documents published by the city’s Department of Parks and Recreation state the existing Freedom West cooperative was constructed between 1973 and 1975 by Jack Baskin, with architecture by Krisel/Shapiro & Associates, and landscape architecture by ROyston, Hanamoto, Beck & Abey.
Demolition would be expected for three three-story apartment buildings at 860, 870, and 880 McAllister Street, behind the Bethel AME Church. Each structure contains 36 units, for a total residential capacity loss of 108 units. Plans for the new structure show it will occupy the floor area at 870 and 880 McAllister Street, showing that the demolition of 860 McAllister Street is ultimately intended to enable future construction.
The estimated timeline for construction has not yet been established.
