New building permits have been filed for the four-story duplex at 1000 Stanyan Street in Cole Valley, San Francisco. The project seeks to add two residential units to a vacant lot near the Muni light rail station along Carl Street, two blocks from Kezar Pavilion in Golden Gate Park. RKD Consulting is responsible for the application.
Plans for the site were approved in early January this year, cutting out one of the three proposed units from the initial application. The approved plans for the site call for two units, including a four-bedroom residence and a studio unit. Parking will be included for two cars and two bicycles. The application was streamlined via Senate Bill 423.

The vacant lot is oddly addressed, located between 1030 Stanyan Street and 1044 Stanyan Street. Construction is estimated to cost around $1.5 million, with the timeline for work to occur not yet established.

Fugly AF. Overpriced garbage yuppie boxes do not solve the housing crisis.
It’s 3 more housing units in an area that desperately needs housing. I do wish it matched the more attractive of the two units it will be sandwiched between.
Did you look at the picture in the article? The existing building to the right of this lot is just a yellow concrete box? Seems like this will look much nicer than that building and provide a family sized unit and a small unit for a single person. Its also not displacing any units and being built in an already wealthy neighborhood with high quality transit access. This is literally the best case scenario for any new building built anywhere in the country…
