Nine-Unit Market-Rate Project Proposed for 2513 Irving Street in San Francisco’s Inner Sunset

New plans have been filed for a residential development at 2513 Irving Street in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, proposing three four-story townhouse-style buildings. The project aims to create nine market-rate apartments, a slight increase from previous proposals submitted in early 2025. This updated application specifically utilizes the Family Zoning Plan to facilitate the increased density.

The property owner is listed as Coleman Kao, operating through One Ark LLC, with RKD Consulting responsible for the current application and design. The site, formerly a surface parking lot owned by the Police Credit Union, is situated across from a recently completed seven-story affordable housing complex developed by TNDC at 2550 Irving Street.

Each of the three proposed structures will contain three units, along with parking provisions for nine cars and nine bicycles. While further design details are pending, the estimated construction cost for the project is approximately $6 million. This development exemplifies the ongoing trend of infill housing initiatives in San Francisco, leveraging specific zoning mechanisms to convert underutilized parcels into much-needed residential units. Developers and lenders should note the strategic use of the Family Zoning Plan to optimize density on urban lots.
