What’s Happening at San Francisco’s Old Flower Mart?
Austin Klar reports on the revitalization of the 7‑acre former Flower Mart site at 6th and Brannan in San Francisco. Originally slated in 2019 for a massive office tower, the project stalled due to the pandemic’s effect on office demand. Kilroy Realty Corp has now submitted four distinct development variants that blend office, residential, laboratory, and institutional uses, aiming to retain flexibility as city dynamics evolve. This effort is part of the larger Central SoMa redevelopment approved in 2018, which envisioned roughly 9,000 housing units and 8 million sq ft of office space across multiple developers. Many of those projects have stalled, making Kilroy’s flexible approach noteworthy. Klar invites viewer comments and encourages follows for more Bay Area news.
