4-Story Building Proposed for Ingleside's Stretch of Ocean Avenue

A single-story office building on Ingleside's stretch of Ocean Avenue populated mostly by dentists and clinics may soon be replaced by a four-story, mixed-use development.

A project application was filed with the San Francisco Planning Department on Feb. 14 to demolish 2445 Ocean Ave. The proposal calls for the first two stories to be occupied by commercial tenants in 3,845 square feet of space and the third and fourth floors will be 3,512 square feet of residential space, including outdoor open space for each unit. No parking is included in the plans.

Documents show the project sponsor is Raj Patel, the founder of Perigon Hospitality Group. Patel's company manages a portfolio of hotels, including a Single Room Occupancy hotel in the Mission. His family once had a small portfolio of SROs in the Mission and South of Market neighborhoods, according to the company's website.

The building was constructed in 1923 as a residence and converted into medical offices in 1950, records show. While the application says there are no tenants, the address is listed as the home of Perigon Hospitality Group's offices. It's unclear if the company will have a presence there when the development is complete.

Troy Kashanipour is listed as the architect.

No estimated construction timeline is available yet.
