Align Real Estate is reportedly in agreement to buy Webster Plaza Safeway grocery store, located across from the Japantown Peace Plaza in San Francisco’s Fillmore District. The developer has signaled plans to transform the large parcel into a mixed-use development with commercial space and housing.
Preliminary plans have been filed for a 17-story mixed-use tower at 1088 Sansome Street in San Francisco’s Northern Waterfront neighborhood. The development is a block from 955 Sansome Street, where Aralon Properties recently submitted enlarged plans for a similarly-sized infill. The new project shows growing interest in dense housing close to the Financial District, Embarcadero, and Telegraph Hill. Mark Horton Architecture is responsible for the application.
Updated plans have been filed to convert a former church at 554 Fillmore Street into a mixed-use development with housing and an event space in San Francisco’s Lower Haight. The adaptive reuse expects to retain much of the former Sacred Heart Church’s exterior and nave while creating five floors for housing on the eastern end. The Pollard Group is sponsoring the project.
Demolition and excavation work is underway for two major projects in the UCSF Parnassus Heights campus in San Francisco. Crews finished removing the seven-story UC Hall, and only a corner of the four-story Mental Health Services building remains as of our visit. The sites are expected to be transformed into a research building and hospital, with both scheduled to finish by 2028 and 2030, respectively.
Construction is rising for a new five-story apartment at 3945 Judah Street in San Francisco’s Sunset District. The project has replaced the former Eugene’s Automotive Repair shop, with crews now working on bringing twenty apartments close to Ocean Beach and Golden Gate Park. The applicant used HOME-SF to increase the project capacity and ensure five units would be designated as affordable.
