After a twenty-year run, the Buca di Beppo at 855 Howard Street has been shuttered. And another restaurant isn’t expected to take its place.

Instead, permits to start gutting the building’s interior have been requested. And as proposed, the building will be converted into 12,000 square feet of pure office space.

Keep in mind that the 4,000-square-foot parcel upon which the two-story SoMa building currently stands is theoretically zoned for development up to 130 feet in height. We’ll keep you posted and plugged-in.
