Preliminary plans have been filed for an eight-story apartment complex at 5420 Geary Boulevard in San Francisco’s Richmond District. The proposal is a dramatic increase from the previous plans for the site, now planning 42 apartments above the ground-floor retail next to the currently vacant Alexandria Theater. Kerman Morris Architects is listed as responsible for the application.
The preliminary filing shows plans for an eight-story mixed-use complex containing around 33,000 square feet, including 30,740 square feet of housing and 2,210 square feet for ground-level retail.
The application states that the development will use “either the State Density Bonus or the SF Family Zoning Plan program to waive the height limit, waive/relax the rear yard requirement, and increase the allowable gross residential area by 50%.” The document adds that the team will “look to maximize housing and provide the required inclusionary housing on-site or a fee under the Family Zoning Plan.” Further information about the potential design has not yet been shared.

The roughly 0.16-acre property is located along Geary Boulevard between 18th Avenue and 19th Avenue. The site is next door to the Alexandria Theater, a vacant century-old theater that developer Timespace Group plans to redevelop into an eight-story apartment complex. New building permits were filed for that project earlier this month.
The estimated cost and timeline for construction at 5420 Geary Boulevard have not yet been established. Kieran Woods Construction is listed as the property owner.
