New building permits have been filed for a four-story mixed-use infill at 704 North Point Street in San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf neighborhood. The project will add a ground-floor shop and a three-story apartment to a tiny parcel at the corner of North Point Street and Columbus Avenue, while renovating an adjoining building. The property owner is listed as a San Francisco-based individual.
While the property spans a 1,791-square-foot lot, the proposed 42-foot-tall structure would occupy less than 500 square feet. Plans would demolish an existing single-story commercial structure and replace it with a 1,820-square-foot apartment above ground-level retail. According to the applicant, the retail space is expected to be leased to a small cafe or similar business. The adjoining structure would be modified to replace the pitched roof with a flat roof and top-floor terrace while retaining two dwelling units and ground-floor retail.

Francisco J. Matos of Architects SF is responsible for the design. Renderings show an exposed brick and black steel facade that complements the area’s historic architecture. The adjoining structure’s exterior would be streamlined with stucco or cement plaster.
The property is located at a triangular intersection of North Point Street, Leavenworth Street, and Columbus Street, across from Joseph Conrad Square and two blocks from Aquatic Cove. Future residents would live just a few blocks away from North Beach and the heart of the Fisherman’s Wharf area.
