The newly published historic review evaluation has determined that 536 Mission Street is eligible for historic designation as an example of Late Modernist and Brutalist architecture. The structure was built in 1979 for Golden Gate University in SoMa, San Francisco. The evaluation was published ahead of plans to replace the GGU campus with the city’s fifth- or sixth-tallest skyscraper.
Construction has officially started for a new senior housing community at 2125 Telegraph Avenue in Uptown, Oakland. The eight-story project, named The Eliza, will bring nearly 100 apartments for residents aged 62 and older to a corner lot near the 19th Street BART Station. Mercy Housing California is the project developer.
The former McRoskey Mattress Company building has been torn down at 1687 Market Street in San Francisco. The century-old structure has been demolished ahead of the construction of a 17-story affordable housing tower and artist community hub. Mercy Housing is responsible for the application on behalf of the Artists Hub on Market.
Preliminary permits have been filed for a five-story apartment complex at 2 Crestline Drive within the Twin Peaks neighborhood of San Francisco. Initial plans call for replacing the oddly shaped corner lot with a nine-unit complex. James Keith is responsible for the application.
Significant construction progress has been shared for the future UCSF Life Sciences building in San Francisco’s waterfront Potrero Power Station redevelopment. Crews are currently working on the foundation for Block 2, a Herzog & de Meuron-designed seven-story complex that will become a cancer research center. Fifth Space, formerly known as Associate Capital, is the project developer.
