Mapping the City's Rehab and Conversion Projects
Last month we mapped the new construction projects waiting to break ground, but what about the buildings that are just getting a little nip and tuck? Here now, a map of rehab and conversion projects already either approved or under construction. Some are historic buildings getting an adaptive reuse to breathe new life into them, while others are just getting a facelift to freshen things up. Know of one not included on the list?

140 New Montgomery
The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Building was originally slated for a condos, but plans stalled and the economy dictated a conversion to office spaces instead. Last May Yelp officially signed an 8 year lease for the Timothy Pfleuger art deco skyscraper.
New Mission Theatre
The long running drama that is the New Mission Theater/Condo project was finally approved in January, paving the for Texas-based Alamo Drafthouse to rehab the theater and new construction of a neighboring 114 condos.
Mexican Museum
This project will rehab and restore the historic 10-story Aronson Building and construct a new 550-foot-tall, 47-story tower connecting to it. The EIR was just certified a few weeks ago.
The historic ship building site along 20th Street will take millions to develop, rehabbing six historic buildings into space for office workers, retailers, artists and manufacturing companies. The Board of Supervisors recently approved a $100M development deal with Orton to restore the 65-acre pier, to couple with the city's $58 million investment in the site.
Strand Theater
The Strand Theater, vacant since 2003, is set to be rehabbed into a live performance space for the American Conservatory Theater.
The Hibernia Bank
The proposed new project will make seismic, fire, and accessibility upgrades for a new "assembly" use of the building (whatever that means). A bunch of stuff like doors and windows will be restored, with a little rooftop addition. The project will bring the long-vacant building into code compliance, but no use or tenant has been identified yet.
55 Laguna
While technically the project will include some new construction, a few of the historic buildings at the old UC Berkeley extension campus will get rehabbed into multifamily rental units, with an additional 110 units geared toward low-income LGBT seniors.
5M
The so-called “creative development” mixed-use project by Forest City would develop the 4-acre site at Fifth and Mission Streets by rehabbing the Chronicle Building and Dempster Printing Building, demoing six existing buildings, and constructing five new ones ranging in height from 50-400 feet. The end product will have 1.85M sq.ft. of office, residential (748 units), and ground floor retail/office/cultural/educational uses, not to mention 34,000 sq.ft. of open space.
110 Embarcadero
The Commonwealth Club purchased the building last November, with plans to rehab the space to include multiple auditoriums and meeting spaces, club offices, reception spaces, a members café and roof deck and sky garden.
601 Dolores
After neighborhood drama and threat of appeal, conversion of the church-turned-mansion to the Children's Day School was approved back in July.
St. Josephs
A recently approved conversion would turn the 1912 church into 18,260 square feet of office space, 1,300 square feet of retail space, and 2,500 square feet of assembly space geared toward tech companies.
100 Van Ness
This project that will convert the 1973 building from office to residential, renovating the interior to create up to 399 residential units and ground‐floor retail with 112 off‐street parking spaces, and re‐skin the exterior of the building.
Exploratorium
The museum had been located at the Palace of Fine Arts for 44 years, but the new space at the rehabbed Pier 15 features 300,000 sq.ft. (3x larger than their current space) with 600 exhibits taking advantage of the indoor-outdoor layout.
Alexandria Theater
Development plans include a four-story apartment building at the rear of the site and renovations to the theater to accommodate retail stores on the first level, with a 211 seat theater and a full service restaurant on the second level.
Marina Degaussing Station
The Recreation and Parks Department has a proposal to allow a Woodhouse Fish Co. restaurant on Marina Green at the site of a building formerly owned by the U.S. Navy that has sat vacant for 30 years. Some neighbors are not happy about it, saying the restaurant would cause traffic, light pollution, impact birds, increase
