Preliminary permits have been filed for a small residential infill at 263 Lee Avenue in Ingleside, San Francisco. The developer aims to replace an abandoned church with a three-unit development. Shahin Saneinejad is the property owner responsible for the application.
The 33-foot-tall structure will yield around 4,500 square feet, with 3,600 square feet for housing. Of the three units, one is a three-bedroom residence, and two are two-bedrooms. One of the smaller units is classified as an accessory dwelling unit. All residences will be available for ownership at market rate.

Parking will be included for four bicycles in the shared storage and trash room at ground level. Residents will get access to a rooftop deck looking over Lee Avenue. According to the project application, the “development aims to provide transit-oriented family housing on the SFMTA Bike Network and is adjacent to multiple local and regional transit lines.”
Openscope Studio is the project architect. The structure will fill up around half of the narrow 0.06-acre parcel. The exterior will be wrapped with a familiar variety of fiber cement for siding and panels.

In the Summer of 2019, the previous owner, Rescue Prayer Mission, listed the property for $1.5 million. According to city records, the property sold in 2020 for just $710,000, less than half of the original asking price. The church has been vacant since 2013. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be established.

More housing for personal ownership for families is great in a Transit Rich area.
