Tallest Residential Building in San Francisco Nearing Approval
In this brief news update, Austin Klar reports on Bay Hill Ventures’ proposal for what could become San Francisco’s tallest residential skyscraper. The plan calls for an 843‑foot tower delivering 730,000 sq ft of housing and 48,000 sq ft of parking in the SoMa district. The development would contain 672 units—ranging from one‑ to three‑bedroom apartments—with 68 units set aside as affordable housing for households earning ≤50 % of the area median income. Three architectural firms—House and Robertson, Picker Chilton, and Edmondson Lee—are leading different design aspects, envisioning a dark, glass‑and‑steel modern tower. A remaining planning hurdle is approval for a pedestrian bridge linking the building’s fifth‑floor amenity space and lobby to nearby Salesforce Park. No construction timeline or budget has been disclosed, but approvals are expected soon, and Klar promises to keep viewers updated.
