SAN FRANCISCO | SFMTA Potrero Yard Modernization Project | 150 FT | 13 FLOORS

Figured this one is a big enough project to deserve its own thread now.

The background on the project:

Quote:
The Potrero Yard Modernization Project will replace an obsolete, century-old bus yard with a modern, three-story, efficient bus maintenance and storage facility, equipped to serve the SFMTA’s growing fleet as it transitions to battery electric buses.

A modern Potrero Yard will address critical transportation issues and improve:

Efficiency: Repair buses faster, improving Muni’s reliability
Sustainability: Provide the green infrastructure needed for an all-electric fleet
Future Growth: Accommodate fleet as it grows – room for 54% more buses at the yard
Work Conditions: Improve environments, amenities and safety conditions for 800+ SFMTA staff

...

The PNC design includes a modern, three-story bus storage and maintenance transit facility, over 500 units of affordable housing for those with low or moderate incomes, and multiple opportunities for commercial retail and concessions. The project would be the nation’s first known joint development of a bus maintenance facility with housing constructed adjacent to and above– a groundbreaking approach that prioritizes a safe, equitable, and sustainable transportation system while also supporting the City’s housing goals.

The ambitious housing affordability goals are reliant on competitive City and non-City funding sources. Some of these state financing sources are highly competitive because funds are spread across the entire state, and there are many projects seeking financing every year. Should the project not secure these sources on a schedule that can accommodate the construction of the bus facility, the housing program may need to be amended.

The project is designed to support San Francisco’s sustainability, housing, and safety priorities as a Transit-First City. The project encourages public transit, bicycling and walking as sustainable alternatives to driving. Resident and public parking are not provided on-site.
- Up to 513 affordable housing units that include a mix of studio, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units
- New public restrooms conveniently located near Franklin Square Park
- Improved pedestrian and bike infrastructure for enhanced safety and comfort
- An economic inclusion plan that prioritizes Local Business Enterprise (LBE) inclusion and local hire
- Onsite amenities such as family childcare centers, laundry facilities, and community rooms

Cost Estimate
$500 m (in 2019 dollars and exclusive of costs not directly related to construction)

New Renderings For SFMTA’s Mixed-Use Potrero Yard Redevelopment



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON JUNE 28, 2023

New renderings have been published for the full-block mixed-use redevelopment of the SFMTA Potrero Yard bus maintenance facility at 2500 Mariposa Street in San Francisco’s Mission District. The updated design shows a more refined exterior, though the housing capacity is reduced from 575 to 513 units. Plenary Group is responsible for the application.

The 150-foot tall structure will yield around 1.24 million square feet, with 636,900 square feet for the bus yard, 540,850 square feet for housing, and 9,440 square feet for retail. Unit sizes will vary, with 117 studios, 184 one-bedrooms, 144 two-bedrooms, and 68 three-bedrooms. Of the 513 units, the plans designate 101 for senior residents, 191 for families, 218 for workforce residents, and three for property managers. Residential and commercial parking will be included for 773 bicycles and no cars.

The new design by IBI Group shows a cohesive architectural approach. While the initial design was made to look like one apartment building built on top of another apartment building across Bryant Street, the new design has a clean white exterior with subtle setbacks for private balconies and the podium deck. The bus yard will be clad with decorated metal perforated panels and floor-to-ceiling glass.

The plan makes significant use of the seventh-floor podium deck as a residential amenity deck. The amenity space radiates from a central gathering space on the north end, connected to a dog run and one of two community gardens. Two paths will extend on opposite sides of the central tower toward separate gathering spaces and earth mounds. The two courtyards will be connected by a double-height hall carved out of the central tower. Residents will have access to 75,620 square feet of open space, reduced from 91,000 square feet in the 2021 plans.

I’d have to say that for a wild infra+housing combination project, it’s not that bad. On top of that, it’s a massive amount of desperately needed affordable housing, and so I say it’s wayyyy more than okay.

Build it!

Final EIR Review For SFMTA Potrero Yard Redevelopment



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON JANUARY 8, 2024

Plans are moving forward to build hundreds of affordable homes inside a new bus yard in San Francisco’s Mission District. This Thursday, the city’s Planning Commission is scheduled to review the Final Environmental Impact Report about the SFMTA Potrero Yards Modernization proposal. The project will replace the existing bus yard and build up to 513 units, with a refined project variant floated to build just 103 units. SFMTA and Plenary Group are joint developers.

...

Arcadis is the project architect working with Y.A. Studio. The firm became involved after acquiring IBI Group in 2022. Updated renderings show minor facade adjustments, additional distinction between the the podium deck and top floors, and a new color palette. New renderings for the refined project variant, which show how the 13-story apartment tower would rise over Bryant Street with no additional housing on top of the bus yard, have also been made.

...

Construction for the transit facility is expected to start later this year and finish by 2027. As for housing, PNC is considering two scenarios that would see the overall project take 49 to 96 months to complete.

I'm sorry, I know the housing is great but how anyone can pretend this is even a decent looking project is beyond me. It's been a while since I've seen a mess like this - a total trainwreck. I have a hard time seeing a single element that makes sense or is pleasing to the eye in any way. This looks like the nadir of good design.
