Following a project proposal originally brought in 2020, new approvals have come through for the demolition and redevelopment of a 4.9-acre site near The Presidio in San Francisco. While original city approvals were met in 2020, the project has not yet begun its demolitions, awaiting further environmental approvals and plan revision approvals.
In April the City of Oakland announced the acquisition of the Extended Stay America at 3650 Mandela Parkway by the city’s partners Memar Properties and The Housing Consortium of the East Bay. The project is now under review for conversation to long-term affordable housing, with a plan of serving very low and extremely low-income classifications.
Preliminary plans have been filed to convert the former Consulate General of India into housing at 540 Arguello Boulevard in the Lone Mountain neighborhood of San Francisco. The proposal would provide three units from the three-story commercial infill. Iyer & Associates Architects is responsible for the application.
The property owners at 906-910 Clement Street have submitted a request for an office to residential conversion in San Francisco’s Inner Richmond Neighborhood. The plans would convert the existing 2nd floor office space into three residential units, while leaving the ground floor unchanged. T-Square Design has submitted plans for the project alongside the application.
A proposed project in San Francisco would convert an existing 106-unit residential building at 1035 Van Ness Avenue into a 124-unit fully affordable building. The units will be classified as Affordable Permanent Supportive Housing, a model combining affordable housing with supportive services to help individuals with disabilities or special circumstances preventing them from finding long-term housing. The project is brought by the veteran-focused non-profit Swords to Plowshares.
