General Plan Referral permits have been filed for a new public park at 989 Post Street on the neighborhood border of Lower Nob Hill and the Tenderloin in San Francisco. The proposal would replace a vacant one-story commercial building with a neighborhood park at the corner of Post Street and Larkin Street. The San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department will be responsible for the project.
Detailed plans have not yet been shared for the future corner park. According to the recent application, the site is expected to be furnished with “standard park amenities including, but not limited to, seating and gathering areas, pathways, landscaping, shade structures, and fencing.”

Full demolition will be required for the existing structure, alongside abatement and remediation work for the site of any potential contaminated soil. This includes a five-foot excavation to be replaced by fresh soil.
The single-story structure was constructed in 1920, with a vernacular utilitarian facade that “does not represent a distinct architectural style,” according to city documents. The first known tenant of the site was the Sagan Drive-In Laundry business in 1955. According to the historic resource evaluation drafted by ICF for the Recreation and Parks Department, the project was deemed ineligible for listing “due to insufficient historical and architectural significance.”
The 0.18-acre site is located at the corner of Larkin Street and Post Street, two blocks away from Van Ness Avenue and a block from the recently topped-out 1111 Sutter Street apartment tower.
