As Related California pushes forward with plans for a 550-unit rental tower to rise up to 396 feet in height on the Goodwill site at the corner of Mission and South Van Ness, SOM is refining the designs for the proposed 1500 Mission Street project which also includes a 500,000-square-foot building for the city.

The City’s 16-story building would rise to a height of 264 feet along the eastern edge of the site fronting 11th Street, with mid-rise podium elements extending south to the historic Coca-Cola Bottling Plant building clock tower along Mission (which will be saved and incorporated into the redevelopment), and west to South Van Ness Avenue with a branded gallery and public forum between the civic building and 39-story tower.

An underground garage includes 120 valet parking spaces for the City and 287 valet spaces for residents, above which 38,000 square feet of retail space is envisioned.

The plans above will be presented to the Planning Commission next week; a public hearing on the project’s Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is slated for December; Planning is aiming to certify the EIR in March; and if approved, it will then be up to San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors to establish a Special Use District to allow for the development – which is taller, bulkier and includes more parking for the City’s fleet than permitted for an office project – to be built as proposed.
