More Highrise Housing Slated for Rincon Hill
Monday, February 27th, 2006
San Francisco Business Times - February 24, 2006 by J.K. DineenYet another condo tower may soon sprout from Rincon Hill’s fertile ground. Developer Ezra Mersey has submitted plans for a slender 206-unit, 25-story highrise at 1 Hawthorne St., a narrow alley that runs between Howard and Folsom streets in Rincon Hill. The site is home to a single-story parking garage and a vacant four-story office building, both of which would be razed under the proposal.
The $35 million project is slated to go before the San Francisco Planning Commission on March 23, according to city planner Adam Light, and would also require a zoning variance from the Board of Supervisors.
While Mersey has filed two sets of plans — one for the 206-unit project and one for a 15-story, 135-unit structure — Light said the city has pushed the developer toward the taller alternative “so that more housing could be created on this site.”
