Concrete Rising for 988 Harrison Street, SoMa, San Francisco

Construction has passed the first floor of an eight-story apartment project at 988 Harrison Street in SoMa, San Francisco. Crews are working to build 90 new homes above ground-level retail on a 0.29-acre property once occupied by a gas station. J.S. Sullivan is the project developer.

The 85-foot tall structure will yield 91,500 square feet, with 82,700 square feet for housing, around 5,000 square feet for the 24-car garage, and 6,850 square feet for retail. A 690-square-foot basement room will offer storage for 90 bicycles.

Of the 90 units, 12 will be affordable. Unit sizes will vary with five studios, 49 one-bedrooms, 34 two-bedrooms, and two two-bedrooms. Parking will be included for 24 cars, with bicycle parking not specified. Residents will benefit from various open space amenities, including a podium-topping courtyard and a rooftop deck.

RG Architecture is responsible for the design. The architectural style is imbued with the local vernacular, with white-clad bay windows and an articulated exterior. Facade materials include fiber cement panels and exposed concrete.

The property is located at the corner of 6th Street and Harrison Street, across from a Chevron Gas Station and several apartments. The project is just over half a mile from the Powell Street BART Station and a 14-minute walk from the Yerba Buena Gardens.
