en.Wedoany.com Reported - Align Real Estate, on behalf of owner Albertsons Companies, has submitted formal plans for the redevelopment of the Safeway at 3350 Mission Street in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood. The project is one of several high-profile Bay Area developments that place high-density housing atop supermarkets.
The building, approximately 90 feet tall, is expected to provide about 479,000 square feet of space, including 274,200 square feet of residential space, 55,000 square feet of ground-floor Safeway commercial space, and a 149,600-square-foot (291-space) garage, along with 286 bicycle parking spaces. Residential amenities include a fitness center and a community room. This podium-style complex will feature an irregular ring-shaped structure, creating three separate podium roof courtyards, with additional open space including a roof terrace overlooking Mission Street.
The project plans 379 residential units, including 65 studios, 185 one-bedrooms, 89 two-bedrooms, and 40 three-bedrooms. Of the 376 units, 76 are deed-restricted affordable homes, allowing the applicant to invoke the State Density Bonus Law and Senate Bill 330 to streamline the approval process and increase residential capacity.
Perry Architects is responsible for the design, with C2 Collaborative handling landscape design. Updated renderings show subtle adjustments compared to the original design unveiled in November last year, including wider windows, a double-height transparent entrance for the supermarket, and a dark black metal cladding layer to visually define the ground floor. The exterior will feature white and wood-grain solid phenolic resin panels.
The Bernal Heights proposal, led by Align Real Estate and Albertsons Companies, is part of a portfolio of six projects aiming to build over 4,000 apartments in the Bay Area. Five of the six plans will redevelop Safeway stores, while one Oakland plan will not replace an existing store, which is owned by Albertsons but leased by Trader Joe's.
The 2.15-acre site is located between Mission Street and San Jose Avenue, with a narrow passage extending to 29th Street near 3300 Mission Street. Future residents will be a two-minute walk from a Muni Light Rail station served by the J Church line, or an eight-minute bus ride to the 24th Street BART station. Construction costs are estimated at approximately $170 million, excluding all development fees, and a construction timeline has not yet been announced.
