For nearly a decade, New York YIMBY has covered the architecture, planning, and real estate of New York City and the Tri-State Area. Following the August launches of Chicago YIMBY and Philly YIMBY, we are excited to announce our latest expansion into the San Francisco metropolitan area. YIMBY’s latest sister website for the City By the Bay is now officially live.
The project rising at 706 Mission Street is one of the tallest projects rising in the city of San Francisco. Located in the SoMa neighborhood, it is bringing 146 new homes, a ground-level space for retail or restaurant, and a new four-story location for the city’s Mexican Museum designed by Mexico City-based TEN Arquitectos. The development comprises two towers, the historic ten-story Aronson building and the newly built 45-story tower designed by Handel Architects. Its future residents plan to move in by the end of the year.
Permits applied to the SF Planning Department indicate that the City of San Francisco’s SF Homekey program intends to acquire 1000 Sutter Street. This would give the city a ten story hotel bordering the Nob Hill neighborhood in San Francisco. The structure is between Hyde Street and Larkin Street. It’s in a dense and desirable area in walking distance to the Polk Gulch and Tenderloin neighborhoods, and not far from Chinatown.
