Plans to Raze a Few Restaurants for Housing to Rise Progress
The formal application to level the four buildings on the northwest corner of Folsom and Russ (including the current homes of Deli Board, Fondue Cowboy and Alchemy/Catalyst) and construct a six-story building across the Western SoMa site has been submitted to Planning for processing.
As expected, the proposed Folsom and Russ Street development includ es 46 residential units, with two townhomes, a 21-car garage and two new retail spaces across the building’s ground floor. And while one of the new ground floor retail spaces is being designed to accommodate a new Deli Board, there are no guarantees that it will return.
Once again, Planning’s review of the preliminary plans for the development, as rendered, had recommended perusing a less “muddled” design and cautioned against casting any new shadows on Victoria Manolo Draves Park across the street.
