Planning delivers another montage of how San Francisco’s Market Street Hub Project could lead to the development of additional height, density and a more sculpted skyline for the emerging area around the intersections of Market and Van Ness and South Van Ness and Mission.

As the Hub could appear from Corona Heights if the current height limits for the area, which were increased to a maximum of 400 feet in conjunction with the City’s Market & Octavia Plan back in 2008, are maintained:

Or as the skyline could appear if the height limits were raised again in exchange for increasing the number of “affordable” housing units to be built on the parcels, with heights of up to 500 feet for the 10 South Van Ness Project and 520 feet for the City’s parcel at 30 Van Ness.

And once again, while not rendered in the images above, the corner parcel at 1 South Van Ness Avenue, upon which an 8-story building currently sits, is also proposed to be rezoned for the development of a tower up to 600 feet in height, which would make it the visual hub of the neighborhood.
