Preliminary plans have been published for a small residential infill at 3832 18th Street in San Francisco’s Mission Dolores neighborhood. The latest proposal shows a steep decrease in potential dwelling capacity for the narrow parcel compared to the 2022-approved entitlements by the same owners. Vanguard Properties is still responsible for the application, operating through M-J SF Investments LLC.

RKD Consulting is overseeing the design. The four-story project is expected to provide around 5,920 square feet, including a larger apartment above a junior accessory dwelling unit and a two-car garage. Additional space will be dedicated to two bicycles. The project will include open space with the rooftop deck, terraces, and a small backyard. The preliminary application ensured the project is streamlined via Senate Bill 330 and SB 423.
Previously, Vanguard Properties received approval for a six-story complex with 19 group housing-style units.

The 0.09-acre property is located along 18th Street between Church Street and Sanchez Street, half a block away from the city’s popular hillside Dolores Park. Future residents will be in a transit-rich neighborhood, half a block from Muni’s lightrail J Line, and three blocks from the F Line and buses along Market Street.
Construction is estimated to cost around $1.6 million, with the timeline for work not yet established.

disappointing to see this decrease in density — thank NIMBY supervisor Mandelman for this
Irish Scarlett, you happy? You got your wish.
No room for more neighbors, just one rich person’s house. Soooooo inclusive. Parking for all preserved!! Also, daylighting removing hundreds of parking spots, so… f you I guess.
