A new 480-room hotel has been proposed in Central SoMa at 350 Second St., currently the site of a parking lot.

The proposal includ es a new 200-foot, 21-story building with a 278,420-square-foot hotel, 4,600 square feet of retail and a 5,750-square-foot public open space. It will also includ e 30 off-street valet parking spaces and two new public art pieces.

The project is being developed by Ken Finkelstein of Englewood LLC, who could not be reached for comment.

Andrew Junius of land use and real estate law firm Reuben, Junius & Rose, LLP is listed as the contact on the application to the city. He didn’t respond to a request for comment from the Business Times.

Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the building will feature an 85-foot, eight-story podium, with a 21-story tower rising behind it.

The proposed project joins a slew of other hotels in the pipeline in San Francisco: More than 20 hotels and up to 4,000 rooms have been proposed or are in development in the city’s urban core, potentially raising the city’s inventory by 10 percent.

The SoMa neighborhood itself has several hotel projects in the works, including a 206-room luxury hotel at 55 Howard St., a 140-room hotel at 1125 Market St., a50-room hotel and mixed-use residential and commercial project at 744 Harrison St and an 8-story hotel at 399 5th St.
