Oryx Partners is pleased to present its most recent plans to replace the former KRON building at 1001 Van Ness Avenue with a striking new residential building, offering townhomes, flats, street level retail, and a significantly enhanced pedestrian experience. The thoughtful design by Handel Architects aims to respond collectively to the surrounding structures with architecture scaled to reflect each of the building’s street frontages on Van Ness, Myrtle and O’Farrell, complementing the Van Ness Avenue thoroughfare and its historic neighbors. Residents will enjoy a modern, urban living experience just one block from the new CPMC Medical Center. 1001 Van Ness is walking distance from multiple amenities in the Polk Street corridor, Civic Center, Japantown, and Hayes Valley, with the Financial District, Union Square and Mid-Market a quick transit ride away.

One of the hallmark features of 1001 Van Ness will be the activation of Myrtle Street. An attractive residential entry and new townhomes will be built across the street from the existing historic Myrtle Flats. Further revitalizing Myrtle Street will be new landscaping, improved lighting and concrete seat-wall elements, creating a welcoming, pedestrian-scale streetscape.

Oryx Partners is proud that this project is the result of over two years of meetings with neighbors, soliciting input from the community to ensure that the final proposal reflects the community’s vision and helps bring a sense of place to this gateway to Cathedral Hill and the central Van Ness corridor.

Who We Are

Oryx Partners LLC is a San Francisco-based real estate

development and investment company primarily

focused on multi-family residential and mixed-use

development projects. Oryx Partners is dedicated

to quality projects in high-density, transit-rich

environments and is committed to sustainable practices

through the lifespan of our projects.

Other Interesting Factsl Located in the Van Ness Special Use District (SUD), this

project will not exceed the 130-foot height limit specified by the SUD, and will remain below the allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for the site.

l As an environmentally-sustainable project, we are committed to using green materials, landscaping, and other design elements such as ample bike parking and transit-friendly design.

l Ground floor retail fronting Van Ness Avenue and O’Farrell Street will offer neighborhood-serving retail options for residents and passers-by. The project also features an attractive bike lounge with a glass facade on the O’Farrell side of the building. This entry will serve pedestrians using the retail garage and residents entering with their bikes through the bike lounge or wanting to connect to the residential lobby via this secondary point of access.

l The proposal calls for 11,800 square feet of multiple landscaped and hardscaped green roofs, including a 1,600 square foot green roof which will be visible from buildings throughout Cathedral Hill. In addition, new trees are planned for the perimeter of the building and enhanced planting strips along Myrtle Street.

l The proposed project will comply with the City of San Francisco’s Inclusionary Housing Program as modified and approved by voters in June 2016 (Prop C) and the accompanying trailing legislation which offered grandfathering for projects based on how long they had been in the pipeline. We have had extensive discussions with the community about this topic and they are aware that we have chosen to pursue the in-lieu fee option which requires a payment to the city’s affordable housing fund based on a 27.5% off-site requirement — the equivalent of over $19 million dollars.
