A long-stalled San Francisco tower planned at 10 S. Van Ness Ave. has received city approval to rise to 820 feet, potentially making it the city’s third-tallest building.
Planning Department officials signed off on developer Crescent Heights’ revised plan with 1,019 apartments on Dec. 17. The 67-story project benefited from Senate Bill 423, which fast-tracks approval for projects near transit and with affordable housing, plus California’s density bonus law.

The tower calls for 363 rental units, including 89 affordable homes, at the podium base of the project, topped by 656 condos in the tower portion. It’s taller and denser than previous plans for the site, which go back a decade. The site was previously a Honda dealership.
As part of its affordable housing obligation, the company bought a property next to BART’s 16th Street Station in the Mission and donated the land to the city for affordable housing. That site was previously the target of a market-rate housing project vehemently opposed by local groups, who called it the “Monster in the Mission.”

Should it be built, the project would be the third-tallest building in the city, behind only Salesforce Tower and Transamerica Pyramid.
