REAL ESTATE & DEVELOPMENT
Castro

Nearly six years after receiving approval, a former real estate office at 2201 Market St. (at Sanchez) will be demolished and replaced with a six-story mixed-use building.

A developer is seeking approval to demolish the building at 2051 Market Street that previously housed Castro's sex club and sauna Eros.

The Castro's new 12-room boutique hotel, the Hotel Castro (4230 18th St.), is set to open just in time for New Year's Eve.

Last week the Planning Commission unanimously approved the demolition and redevelopment of 240-250 Church Street, which previously housed 24-hour diner Sparky's, and continues to house decade-old bakery Thorough Bread and Pastry.

The historic 99-year-old Bank of America building at the corner of Castro and Market streets has been listed for sale for an undisclosed price.

After being family-owned for nearly 100 years, the Market & Noe Center (2276-2288 Market St.) has been listed for sale for the eye-popping price of $17 million.
