Document Description
The 447 Battery and 530 Sansome Street Project, located on the block bounded by Sansome Street to the west, Washington Street to the north, Battery Street to the east, and Merchant Street to the south, would involve demolition of the existing 17,800-square-foot, 3-story commercial building at 425 Washington Street,
and the 12,862-square-foot, 2-story commercial building at 439-445 Washington Street; the 20,154-squarefoot, 3-story commercial building at 447 Battery Street; and the 18,626-square-foot fire station at 530 Sansome Street. The project includes a Development Agreement and certain other transaction agreements
between EQX Jackson Sq Holdco LLC and the City and County of San Francisco. Prior to demolition of 530 Sansome Street and during construction of the proposed project, Fire Station 13 operations (including personnel and firetrucks) would temporarily relocate to nearby offsite existing San Francisco Fire
Department facilities until construction of a replacement fire station is completed. No construction or tenant improvements would be required for temporary relocation. No interruption of fire department service would occur and relocated fire department operations would continue to serve the Financial District neighborhood and the city in general. The project sponsors propose to construct a 4-story replacement fire station and a separate high-rise building up to 41 stories tall. The replacement fire station would be located on the 447 Battery Street parcel and would include approximately 31,200 square feet (including one basement level with 18 vehicle parking
spaces and four class 1 bicycle spaces) in a 4-story, approximately 55-foot-tall building {60 feet total to the roof, including amenity space on the fourth floor and rooftop mechanical equipment) on the eastern portion of the project site. The high-rise building, approximately 544 feet tall {574 feet total, including rooftop
mechanical equipment), would be located on the remaining three parcels and would include approximately 27,030 square feet of retail uses (cafe, restaurant, and ballroom/pre-function/meeting spaces on levels 1 through 3); between approximately 372,580 and 417,770 square feet of office space; and between approximately 128,010 and 189,130 square feet of hotel space for approximately 100 to 200 hotel rooms. There would be three below-grade levels under the high-rise building, which would provide approximately 74 vehicle parking spaces, 81 Class 1 bicycle parking spaces, and utility rooms. The proposed project would provide 20 class 2 bicycle parking spaces on streets adjacent to the project site, and one passenger loading
zone on Sansome Street. The proposed project would improve the entirety of Merchant Street between Battery and Sansome streets with privately maintained public open space that would be maintained by project sponsor for the life of the
proposed project.
