Michael adler and i am the president of caner north constructers ink i have been part of it since 1978 not many weeks ago this developer approved by you 400 grove represents the best of and for San Francisco. The right size for the neighborhood and it is not a commodity structure. But one which has been thoughtfully and heartfully designed by ann and her team and developed and built by local folks who care about the community. This is perfect urban infill and i believe this project has shown a real commitment to providing not just housing but good design and architecture as well. Just addressing the cost of construction, 400 grove will generate approximately 10 million in labor economic benefit creating more than 125,000 person hours of work equivalent of keeping over 60 people occupied for a year. I believe that 400 grove is a necessary and welcome addition to the haze Valley Street scape and i urge you to commend this developer for the passion and commitment to the city and approve t
Project manager lives in the neighborhood and managed the development of it at 55 page street. As you know 400 grove street was once part of the offramp that stretched through blieting the neighborhood and today it serves as a surface parking lot which is not the highest and best use for the urban prop. After purchasing this parcel, we hired inaudible of the San Francisco based Award Winning inaudible architecture. She has worked with market activity plan to design an outstanding mixed use building and help to beautify a very busy stretch of the street. It will bring numerous inaudible and fulfill the goals. It will take a former freeway site and transform it into a beautiful new landmark building and bring the positive activity to the corners of goff and grove street doner the day and at night. It will boost the local economy and add 34 Housing Units with a good mix of studios, one and two units with over half suitable for families. It will add 4 bmr units on site to better housing in
Wall and we will talk about how we chose to do that later on. So just a quick project facts that you have heard before, the project is between 5 and 4 stories, the height is between 45 and 55 feet, we took advantage of the 15foot height for the base and we could create a really nice sort of retail space, right at the corner of goff and grove as well as walk up units on grove and goff street. The unit mix is there, we have 52 present two bedrooms and the rest of the mix is studios and one bedrooms and there are four on sight bmrs which 50 percent of them will be units. There are only 17 Parking Spaces as for the plan and there are 25plus bike park and then about a 2,000 commercial space. This is very quickly the plan, there is a Basement Parking but we are only going down five feet to mitigate as much as possible, excavating too much and that is the parking as well as bike storage in the corner and what is important about the project for us was the Site Planning strategy on the ground f
