Development permits have been submitted to allow the addition of five accessory dwelling units to a building on 257 San Jose Avenue in the Mission District, San Francisco. The proposal includes adding five more dwelling units on the ground floor to the existing eight units. Thousand Architects is managing the design and construction of the project.
Construction permits were submitted for the Preliminary Project Assessment of an apartment building planned at 1204 Howard Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The project proposal includes constructing a five-story apartment building with retail spaces on the first floor. The building will feature a total of twelve dwelling units with a mix of one and two-bedroom units. Tecta Associates is the architecture firm managing the design concepts and construction of the project.
The total site area is 4,500 square feet, the total proposed built-up area is 16,875 square feet, and the total commercial area proposed is 3,351 square feet. A total of seven bike parking spaces are also proposed.
New building permits have been filed for a one-unit residential structure between 37 and 43 7th Avenue by the Presidio Golf Course in the Richmond District, San Francisco. The design features the Bay Area’s distinctive traditional Shingle Style with a green-painted bay window. Gould Evans, the same firm behind the rising twenty-six story 30 Otis Street, is responsible for the proposal.
Recent activity shows that development persists for an eight-story mixed-use infill at 744 Harrison Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The project will bring a mix of hotel and residential use on top of a ground-level restaurant. However, this persistence comes in the form of a permit approval extension. The development was originally approved in 2018. An application to extend construction entitlements for an additional three years was approved Wednesday. Leon Lee & Associates are responsible for the development as the property owner.
The fifty-first tallest structure in the Bay Area is Infinity 1 at 338 Spear Street, SoMa, San Francisco. The 423-foot tall tower opened in 2008 as one of the distinguishing symbols for the development south of Market Street, especially given its prominent position beside the Bay Bridge. Its undulating dark cyan curtain-wall facade reflects modernist architecture’s evolution in the new millennium, facing pressure to reject traditional ornamentation and the boxed rigidity of the 20th-century modernist design. Tishman Speyer was the developer for the construction and remained as the property owner.
