We've postedbefore regarding the new building planned for the triangular shaped space near the Swedish American Hall at 15th, Sanchez, and Market Street (2198 Market Street). The site has acted as a Christmas Tree lot during the holiday season and stayed empty for the remainder of the year for many years. Greystar Development has been tapped to develop the land and has enlisted Heller Manus Architects for the design of the building.
According to a preliminary project assessment from the SF Planning Department and a graphic from the architect (see below), the proposal is to construct a mixed-use building with a height along Market Street of 65 feet and a town house-style structure with a height of 40 feet along Sanchez Street. A courtyard would be located at the center of the lot. The project would contain 87 dwelling units -- 52 one-bedroom units and 35 2-bedroom units, 36 below grade off-street parking spaces (2 of which would be car share spaces), 103 indoor and on street-level bicycle spaces and 5,815 gross square-feet of ground floor retail space along the Market Street frontage.
The developer is holding a public meeting tomorrow, July 10th at 7PM inside the trailer that is now located on the empty lot. The Duboce Triangle Neighborhood Association is encouraging folks to come and see the renderings of the mixed use building and "give input regarding design, building mass, exposure for the Swedish American Hall, interior green space, variance request, developers position on lack of inclusionary housing and more."
According to one of our commentors, Supervisor Scott Wiener mentions that “…We have also requested on site affordable housing, rather than paying an in-lieu fee to the Mayor’s Office of Housing, or contributing to a dedicated affordable residential building elsewhere.”
Association President Pat Tura said in a Facebook post that, "This is the community's opportunity to make your likes and dislikes known. If you live within shadow distance of the building it is in your best interest to attend the meeting."
