The San Francisco Planning Department has approved plans for a two-unit project at 49 Hopkins Avenue on Twin Peaks, San Francisco. The approval includes the retroactive legalization of the illegal demolition of Largent House, the 1935-built home designed by the prominent modernist architect Richard Neutra. Despite the unanimous vote in 2018 by the Planning Commission to prompt the property owner to rebuild a replica of the house, a legal battle and settlement has allowed the owner to pursue new plans.
Exterior work is wrapping up for the eight-story affordable housing project at 600 7th Street in SoMa, San Francisco. Crews with Guzman Construction and Suffolk Construction have finished installing most facade panels and can be seen making progress for the interiors of the future 221-unit apartment complex. Mercy Housing is the project developer.
New plans have surfaced for the potential skyline-defining development at 10 South Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco’s Mid-Market neighborhood.
