Proposed 50-Story Skyscraper in San Francisco Faces Local Opposition
- Plans for a 50-story skyscraper with 712 apartments, including 113 affordable units, have been proposed for San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood.
- The tower would be built in an area zoned for much shorter buildings and requires a “state density bonus” to be approved.
- Illustrations of the proposed 55-story condo tower with 646 units were released, showing views of Ocean Beach and the San Francisco Zoo.
- The site is currently home to a garden center and has become a target for housing developers to help meet the city's goal of 82,000 new units by 2031, though neighbors oppose the plans.
- The Chief of Staff believes the plan does not comply with state and local law.
