Increased plans have surfaced for a residential infill at 1474 South Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco’s Mission District. The latest application invokes Senate Bill 423 to streamline the planning process for constructing a five-story apartment in the backyard and adaptive reuse of an Italianate house built in 1880. RG Architecture is responsible for the application and design.
Construction is moving forward for an affordable housing project at 1633 Valencia Street across from the Mission District in San Francisco. That’s the major update from our recent site visit after crews have been working since the July groundbreaking ceremony. Mercy Housing is the project developer.
Plans have been revealed for the potential 26-story residential infill proposal at 896 Folsom Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The illustrations provide a glimpse of a non-descript facade for the pencil tower rising from the minuscule 4,000-square-foot parcel. FORMA Development Design & Management is the project developer and architect.
The City of San Jose has kickstarted the public review period for 826 North Winchester Boulevard, a 17-story mixed-use complex with housing and retail. The proposal would create 135 new apartments just a few blocks north of the Westfield Valley Fair. San Jose-based VCI Company is responsible for the proposal.
Demolition permits have been filed for the existing parking garage at 850 Turk Street in San Francisco’s Fillmore District. The application follows the late-October new building permits being issued for the eight-story affordable apartment complex with nearly a hundred units. MidPen Housing and Tishman Speyer were selected to be co-developers of the state-owned property made available through the California Surplus Land Act.
