Demolition permits have been filed for a vacant single-story church at 263 Lee Avenue in Ingleside, San Francisco. Plans to replace the structure with a three-unit apartment complex were approved last May. Shahin Saneinejad is the property owner responsible for the application.
The 33-foot-tall structure is expected to yield around 4,270 square feet, with two three-bedroom apartments and a ground-level two-bedroom apartment, zoned as an accessory dwelling unit. The residences are expected to be available for ownership. OpenScope Studio is responsible for the design.

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.
Construction is expected to cost around $1.5 million, with the groundbreaking timeline not yet established. The team missed the previous estimated late-December 2025 start date from the project application filed in May 2025.
