New building permits have been filed for a multi-purpose adaptive reuse of a commercial building at 952-960 Howard Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The development more than doubles the built area on-site while shifting the building use from primarily industrial to primarily offices. Oakland-based oWow is the project developer and property owner.
The 440-foot 340 Fremont Street is tied with two other towers as the 43rd tallest building in the Bay Area, located on Rincon Hill in SoMa, San Francisco. The project was first proposed in 2005, though delays pushed construction to start in 2014 and open in 2016. Equity Residential is the project developer.
Development plans are under review for a 238-unit residential building at 925 Bryant Street, located in a developing southern corner of SoMa, San Francisco. The 85-foot structure is a group-housing development targeted towards younger residents. Carmel Partners is sponsoring the project for the San Francisco-based 1891 Market Street Associates LLC.
Development permits were filed seeking the approval of a new five-story building at 212 Ritch Street in the South of Market district in San Francisco. The project proposal includes constructing a commercial building offering restaurant space on the ground floor and office space on the four floors. YA Studio is managing the design concepts and construction of the mixed-use commercial project rising to fifty-five feet.
Brookfield Properties has officially marked the ceremonial topping out of 415 Natoma Street, the largest office building to do so in San Francisco this year. The 395-foot structure is the largest of six planned buildings in the mixed-use 5M Development in SoMa. Three buildings will be newly constructed, while the other three are adaptively reused historic renovations. Once complete, 5M will create 856 new homes, of which 245 will be affordable, 853,000 square feet of Class A office space, 49,000 square feet of new public open space, and an array of retail spots. Brookfield is developing the project in partnership with Hearst.
