Once again, plans are shifting dramatically for the potential redevelopment of the Sloat Garden Center in San Francisco’s Sunset District. After over a year of seeking approval for a 50-story tower at 2700 Sloat Boulevard, the previous developer withdrew plans in May of this year. The new joint venture has submitted plans to create over four hundred apartments in a 22-story tower.
Increased plans have surfaced for a residential infill at 1474 South Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco’s Mission District. The latest application invokes Senate Bill 423 to streamline the planning process for constructing a five-story apartment in the backyard and adaptive reuse of an Italianate house built in 1880. RG Architecture is responsible for the application and design.
Construction is moving forward for an affordable housing project at 1633 Valencia Street across from the Mission District in San Francisco. That’s the major update from our recent site visit after crews have been working since the July groundbreaking ceremony. Mercy Housing is the project developer.
Plans have been revealed for the potential 26-story residential infill proposal at 896 Folsom Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The illustrations provide a glimpse of a non-descript facade for the pencil tower rising from the minuscule 4,000-square-foot parcel. FORMA Development Design & Management is the project developer and architect.
Demolition permits have been filed for the existing parking garage at 850 Turk Street in San Francisco’s Fillmore District. The application follows the late-October new building permits being issued for the eight-story affordable apartment complex with nearly a hundred units. MidPen Housing and Tishman Speyer were selected to be co-developers of the state-owned property made available through the California Surplus Land Act.
