21 May New Construction Condo Product(Van Ness)
The narrative of 799 South Van Ness (799 SVN) is a tale of transformation, and Transamerican Engineers is proud to have played a role in its journey. Developer Joe Toboni envisioned a project that revitalized a former abandoned gas station and addressed the pressing need for affordable housing in San Francisco. Thus, 799 SVN emerged—a 69-unit development with affordability at its core.
From its humble origins as a derelict gas station, 799 SVN has evolved into a beacon of community-centric development. The project incorporates 40,000 square feet of space, including ten below-market-rate units, representing 14.7 percent of the total. What sets this endeavor apart is Toboni’s innovative approach: leveraging revenue from affordable units to fund additional affordable housing—a strategy rarely seen in the industry.
Nestled within the vibrant Mission District, renowned for its culinary and cultural richness, 799 SVN occupies a prime location amidst a bustling tapestry of music, mixology, and gastronomy. Its strategic positioning in the heart of this amenity-rich district presents an unparalleled opportunity for businesses to tap into the robust pedestrian traffic that characterizes the area.
In essence, 799 South Van Ness epitomizes the intersection of urban revitalization, affordability, and commercial opportunity—a testament to the collaborative efforts of visionaries like Joe Toboni and the expertise of partners like Transamerican Engineers. Together, they have reshaped a physical space and the fabric of community and commerce in the vibrant heart of San Francisco’s Mission District.
