Upcoming Developments Waiting to Break Ground
After SF Curbed posted there Upcoming Developments Waiting to Break Ground Map last week, readers tipped them off to the other projects worthy of status updates. So here now, an updated version of their map. While there are lots of neat rehabs brewing (Hibernia Bank at Market & Jones), this map series focuses on brand spanking new construction–not renovations.
1) 5M PROJECT
The so-called “creative development” mixed-use project by Forest City would develop the 4-acre site at Fifth and Mission Streets by rehabbing the Chronicle Building and Dempster Printing Building, demoing six existing buildings, and constructing five new ones ranging in height from 50-400 feet. The end product will have 1.85M sq.ft. of office, residential (748 units), and ground floor retail/office/cultural/educational uses, not to mention 34,000 sq.ft. of open space. Notice of environmental review and public scoping meetings started in January of this year. Environmental review and public engagement is estimated to take about 3 years. Architect: Gensler
5) 1125 MARKET STREET
Housing developers MacFarlane Partners bought the vacant lot next to the Strand Theater in December 2012 with plans for a for a 12-story apartment building. Based on the size of the lot, the new building could accommodate up to 113,000 sq.ft. with 3,500 sq.ft. of ground floor retail, but no plans have been released and no word on who the architect will be yet.
6) ONE VAN NESS
Starchitect Richard Meier is behind the planned 400-foot tower at Market and Van Ness. The tower would have 180 housing units and a 65-foot podium building that would be connected to the tower by a third-story pedestrian bridge. The podium would house amenities for the residential building as well as space for the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. As of November 2012, it was still in the early environmental review process, waiting on wind and shadow studies. Architect: Richard Meier
11) 200-214 SIXTH STREET
This corner would house 56 affordable family apartments, restaurant, retail, and community space. The Draft EIR was just published in February. Architect: Kennerly Architects
16) 250 FOURTH STREET
The project proposes to demo the Olivet Theological University and construct a new 220-room 11-story tourist hotel with 4,265 sq.ft. of restaurant/bar/retail space at Fourth and Clementia streets. Neighbor disputes over height and use slowed down the approvals process. Architect: Axis Architecture & Design.
