A four-story condominium complex will go up on Harrison between 22nd and 23rd streets if the San Francisco Planning Commission signs off on the proposal today.
The proposed project, at 2652 Harrison Street, would demolish a graffiti-covered, 20-foot-tall warehouse that currently stands vacant. It’s most notable these days as a backdrop and resting place for neighborhood palateros, who tend to converge on the spot when they aren’t selling ice cream.
In its place will be a building twice as tall: four stories, with 20 condos — 11 one-bedroom units, 9 two-bedroom units and 16 off-street parking spots on the bottom level.
To comply with the city’s affordable housing program, two of the units will be “affordable,” while the rest will be sold at market rates.

The project would be the latest addition to a two-block area where three similar condos already stand. Diego Sanchez, the planner in charge of the project, said there has been no opposition from neighbors.
It’s unclear how the project would be financed or what the timeline would be. John O’Connor, the building’s owner, could not immediately be reached for a comment.
Perhaps we should reserve all property rights in San Francisco for people who are here illegally.
Welcome to San Francisco. Where you’re not allowed to do things with your own property.
Just remember, the Irish were run out of the mission on the past. Places change. Deal with it.
I live very near this location and would definitely be opposed. Does anyone know how/if I can file a protest against this development? Or is it now too late?
sickening! screw this city man, there will be bothing left of our people and our culture in the mi$$ion if yall ypiie guppie hipsters keep developing all lanbd we have left. turn it into a day labor center or a program for young folks, not more bougie housing for the rich and white gentrifiers!!
What? Who pays for day labor center or a program for young kids? You??
I’m fine with market rate housing if it pays for some BMR (which this does) plus other community beneficial programs, which by law this does. Empty warehouse–>housing plus is good for everyone. Filled warehouse or filled anything else is not beneficial, so i would be against it, but your immediate response just feels knee jerk to me. This coming from a 20 year mission resident that owns his own house and small business here, so you don’t get more “of the community” than me.
20 yrs is a short time.
This battle was lost several years ago… the next 10 years are already in queue and will be rolled out regardless of any current qualms or sensitivities. Hunters Point is set in stone as well – I think that the Tenderloin might still be preservable to some degree, and I know that a lot of folks are working towards historic protection in that district – but I still don’t think I’d ever want to call the TL home.
