This morning, San Francisco’s Environmental Review Officer will hear presentations on the proposed project at 875 Sansome Street. The project, first reported on by SF YIMBY in February of 2024, will require the demolition of an existing commercial structure to make way for a new residential building. The meeting today will discuss the environmental impacts and reasonability of the project.
The project developer, N17 Development, originally brought two proposals for the site, including a fourteen-story mid-rise plan and an eight-story low-rise plan. The final plans have settled on the low-rise option, expected to produce approximately 32,000 square feet of residential space divided among 20 new dwelling units.
The units are to be divided into twelve two-bedroom and eight three-bedroom units, emphasizing larger family-friendly units. The top floor will also add two private decks and a shared rooftop amenity space, allowing residents a slice of outdoor space in an otherwise dense region of the city.

BDE Architecture is responsible for the building’s layout and aesthetic design. Illustrations show a dark brick facade with antique copper-tone painted metal. The exterior will be clad with cast stone, cement plaster, brick veneer, and metal panels. The project scope will also include sidewalk improvements to the immediate surroundings, adding trees and shrubs in raised planters, concrete pavers, and benches.

The 0.1-acre parcel is located along Broadway next to the Jackson Square neighborhood and on the southern edge of North Beach. The neighborhood’s proximity to the Embarcadero and Downtown San Francisco makes it highly walkable. Building residents will also benefit from access to 18 vehicle spaces and 10 bicycle spaces included on site.

Would have loved to see more density here, but will mostly be happy just see anything moving forward quickly on such a prominent site
These three-bedroom “family” units in that location are a joke. They’ll be stuffed with tech bros.
