STOP PROPOSED "LUXURY CONDOS" AT 55 FRANCISCO STREET!
Whether it's called
1789 Montgomery or 55 Francisco
it's the same location


55 FRANCISCO SOLD TO NEW OWNERS!

KBS REALTY ACQUIRES 55 FRANCISCO AND CONFIRMS NO INTENT TO PROCEED WITH CONDO DEVELOPMENT.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD PREVAILS IN WHAT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A DAVID & GOLIATH BATTLE.


This could not have been accomplished without
the fantastic residents of Wharf Plaza I & II
and the sage advice of Nan Roth and the THD.

Thank you to all of you who made this happen
and for proving the little guy can come in first!



More traffic. More density. More noise.
Less public parking. Less A-permit parking.


Safety, health, quality of life concerns, light and air concerns for the Senior and Disabled community living as close as 45 feet away.

This historic area is already too densely populated!
The luxury condos are not compatible with the area!

More 700 - 1000 sq. ft luxury condos with no underground parking
in this congested area is not in the best interest
of the neighborhood or
the city of San Francisco.

This website has been developed to inform and recruit support in the neighborhood efforts to stop the development of a 51-unit condominium development. It is charted to be constructed on top of an existing parking garage located at the corner of Francisco & Kearny, directly adjacent to 230 units of senior, disabled and low-income housing. The neighborhood has banded together.

Our community is fighting this battle in the political arena as well as legally.

We have engaged land use specialist attorneys Sanger & Olson.
Just look at all the "changes" proposed by developers for our neighborhood! We must be heard!
