Permits have been filed for a retail-to-housing conversion at 145 Bosworth Street by the Bernal Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. The project would add more than double the site’s residential capacity with changes to the ground-floor commercial space and second-floor apartments. Mauricio Hercules is listed as the property owner.

The development will double the residential floor area from approximately 3,000 square feet to 6,000 square feet across the two-story structure. All eight apartments will have two bedrooms, and parking will be added for three bicycles.
The 1945-built mixed-use structure is located at the corner of Bosworth Street and Cuvier Street. Future residents would be just a few blocks away from the Glen Park BART Station and a block away from I-280. The ground-floor space was formerly occupied by the corner grocer, the New Bosworth Market, which closed just a few years ago.

Public records show the property last sold in 2004 for $1.25 million. Construction is estimated to cost around a million dollars.

Add a third story like the building directly across Culver St. and it would be perfection.
I was thinking the same thing, but any additional housing is a good thing! Not sure I’d want an apartment on the ground floor on a corner right on the sidewalk, but it would certainly be convenient for the right person!
is this considered bernal heights, this far west?
I know the grocery store here went out of business a few years ago, but it’s a shame to lose walkable local retail space like this. It’s easy to convert these to residential, but extremely difficult to get local residents to allow you to build new commercial buildings in residential areas.
Oh my that “design.” Really?
Sad to see the market go, because as others have pointed out, once it’s gone, it ain’t coming back.
Definitely not Glen Park. I would call that area College Hill/St. Mary’s Park, which is part of the greater Bernal Heights neighborhood.
