Formal permits have been filed for a nine-story apartment complex at 1025 Howard Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The project is expected to deliver more than a hundred rental apartments to the corner lot. Developer David O’Keeffe is listed as the property owner, operating through Cogac LLC.
The 84-foot-tall structure is expected to yield approximately 114,340 square feet, including 108,600 square feet of housing. Of the 120 units, apartment sizes will vary with 73 one-bedrooms and 47 two-bedrooms. The application will also designate nine units as affordable for very low-income households. Parking will be included for 105 bicycles and no vehicles.

The application utilizes the State Density Bonus program to achieve a 31% bonus above base zoning. Waivers have been requested for reduced distance between bay windows, the rear yard setback, and the height limit along Harriet Street.
Stanton Architecture is responsible for the design. The design scheme has remained consistent compared with the preliminary plans shared in May last year. The facade will include a mix of off-white cement and blue brick veneer. The ground floor will be set back, providing shaded private stoops for street-level apartments facing Harriet Street.

Demolition will be required of the existing building, a 1939 concrete-frame commercial building clad in textured stucco and a bow-truss roof. According to a Page & Turnbull historic review, the structure has ‘no discernible architectural style.’
The roughly 0.3-acre property is located at the corner of Howard Street and Harriet Street, near the active construction site of the future Gene Friend Recreation Center. Future residents will be just ten minutes from the Civic Center BART Station on foot, or 11 minutes from the Powell Street Station.
