Formal permits have been filed for a six-story apartment complex at 926 Natoma Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The proposal aims to replace a two-story commercial structure with six apartments between 10th Street and 11th Street. MASK Properties LLC is listed as the project client.

The roughly 63-foot-tall structure is expected to yield around 10,530 square feet, with parking for six bicycles and no vehicles. The structure will contain six two-bedroom apartments, including one affordable dwelling unit for a very-low-income household. The application uses Senate Bill 423 and the State Density Bonus law to streamline the approval process and increase residential capacity by a single unit.
dsk Architect is responsible for the design. Plans for the site have remained unchanged since preliminary permits were filed last June. Illustrations show an infill-style building clad with white panels and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Mission Street, Howard Street, 10th Street, and 11th Street?
Please do a walk-through, day or night, and remember; you are on foot, day or night.
Venture forth from that location and try to find ANYTHING. The Post Office, Walgreens, Library, Safeway, UPS, Whole Foods, Trader Joes. NOTHING is there.
If you want that you either take the bus or you walk. It’s scary at night. i’m old so maybe I’m clueless but, no.
Yes, you are in fact clueless. Trader Joe’s is a half mile away, Costco is 1/3 mile away, there is a school right down the block, a Michelin-starred restaurant nearby, and lots more. It’s not exactly North Beach but Skid Row it definitely is not.
This is a big upgrade over what is there now.
This is what we like to see!
Certainly nowhere that I’d choose to live.
They wouldn’t want you as a neighbor.
You’re probably right.
This is the perfect place for that sort of thing. In SOMA there are all these alleyway streets with all these little unused commercial buildings. Half of those buildings have already been replaced by small condo buildings but there’s still a lot of places left which could be used for housing, and which would look a lot nicer than what’s there now. There is no need for parking in that area as SOMA has extensive bike lanes for scooters etc. All of those little unused commercial buildings down alleyway streets could be replaced by condo buildings like this.
Love it. We need point-access staircase reform to make building these sort of narrow mid-rises easier.
What a fail ! Without a light well towards the back of the units, this is going to be very dark inside. Look at the cut-a-way section shown and tell me that living space will be sunlit with a straight face. What a weak design of a railroad flat. There’s a reason for the 3′ indent in the middle of long, narrow buildings. Simply stacking all 2bed units in this structure is lazy and uninventive. We appreciate the new housing, but dsk architects gets a [1 out of 5] for the low-effort and uninspiring design.
So what’s the score of the original structure?
