A developer has filed plans to top a commercial building in San Francisco’s Chinatown with a two-story addition of six apartments.

Xie Associates, an architectural firm led by Bill Guan based in Candlestick Point, has proposed building the 2,900-square-foot addition at 749 Grant Ave., SFYimby reported., while remodeling the building’s basement.

The commercial building of four- and two stories now has more than 4,700 square feet. The two-story addition would bring it up to nearly 7,600 square feet, with six residential units.
