Acme Development wants to add a couple of floors to a condominium complex planned on San Francisco’s Nob Hill.
The Tahoe City-based developer led by Vince Sosnkowski has filed plans to increase the proposed building size at 842 California Street to eight stories with 30 units, SFYimby reported. It would bulldoze a three-story, 116-year-old apartment building and a single-story storefront for the project.
Plans now call for an 86-foot tall building with 30 “for-ownership apartments,” including 14 one-bedroom, 12 two-bedroom and four three-bedroom units. It would include an underground parking garage for nine cars and 30 bicycles.
Acme would employ a state density bonus for added height in exchange for four “moderately affordable” units for households earning 80 percent of area median income.
Four of the apartments would be reserved for residents of the apartments to be demolished. The developer or an affiliated investor bought the property in August 2020 for $5.2 million.
The new charcoal-and-white building, designed by locally based Cass Calder Smith Architecture + Interiors, would be clad in concrete, terracotta rainscreen panels and teak wood slats.
Floor-to-ceiling bay windows would face California Street and the rear lot, with “stone-tone panels” with brushed metal frames. Corner terraces would be built into the seventh and eighth floors, based on a rendering.
If approved, construction is expected to take two years, according to SFYimby.
