Developers are looking at a new property site to build a new home for the JFCS Holocaust Center at 2245-2255 Post Street in Lower Pacific Heights, San Francisco. The project would create a new home for the JFCS Holocaust Center, an educational facility run by the Jewish Family and Children’s Services. Karin Payson Architecture + Design is responsible for the designs.
For the last twelve days of 2024, SF YIMBY will look back on each month and reflect on the biggest stories we covered. For our final installment of this series, here are the most substantial stories covered throughout December, which include new renderings for a more timid tower on Sloat across from the San Francisco Zoo. We covered construction progress for several big affordable projects across the city, while new plans were revealed for several projects region-wide.
Continuing with the self-reflection, I’d like to break the fourth wall here with a New Year’s Eve note of appreciation…
For the last twelve days of 2024, SF YIMBY will look back on each month and reflect on the biggest stories we covered. In October, the biggest stories can be measured by floor count, with updates on three San Francisco projects that may rise 33, 65, and 72 floors respectively. Across the Bay, we revealed new renderings for a 23-story UC Berkeley dorm that is now the fourth tallest project in the city’s pipeline. Meanwhile, shifting scales from the tallest to among the smallest projects spotlit by our year review, we covered San Francisco’s retroactive legalization of the headline-grabbing illegal demolition of a Richard Neutra-designed house on Twin Peaks.
For the last twelve days of 2024, SF YIMBY will look back on each month and reflect on the biggest stories we covered. Except for the rising SHoP-designed YouTube offices and the finished Verde in Mission Rock, most of our biggest stories in September were related to the planning process. In San Francisco, FORMA Development Design & Management shocked many readers with two narrow 26-story towers. The potential 30-story tower in Redwood City came as a shocking potential addition to the county seat of San Mateo County. In Berkeley, updated plans for California Theater may now reach 23 floors, while the city has approved the second-tallest tower in the city’s pipeline at 2128 Oxford Street.
In honor of New York YIMBY’s Turkey Week tradition of spotlighting stalled projects, we’d like to highlight the one big project that comes to mind for San Francisco. Oceanwide Center was meant to produce the second-tallest skyscraper in the city, with a unique geometric structure designed by Foster + Partners. Today, the property at First and Mission remains an unfinished hole in the ground, collecting dust and water.
