Interior ground floor tenant TI for a new temporary connection between 545 Sansome St and 505 Washington St for a new Restaurant including bar space and associated food prep space.

The project sponsor proposes the street vacation of Mark Twain Alley, which sits between 545 Sansome and 505 Sansome and connects Sansome Street with Redwood Park. The alley currently provides both pedestrian access and commercial loading access to 505 Sansome. The proposal involves converting Mark Twain Alley to a pedestrian only alley that would link Sansome to Redwood Park, and would allow people to walk freely between Sansome Street, Washington Street, Clay Street, and Redwood Park. The Sponsor is in the midst of an improvement project in Redwood Park, which includes renovation of the existing landscaping, site lighting, and related utility modifications, and in-kind replacement of concrete paving to match the texture and pattern of the existing paving. As part of the Mark Twain Alley project, an existing gate situated at the west end of the alley at Redwood Park would be relocated to the east end of the alley, which would allow the owner to secure the alley and the private Redwood Park at night and would provide for unobstructed access between Sansome Street, Mark Twain Alley, and Redwood Park during the day. This relocation would result in a less obtrusive fencing/gating system than exists currently. The alley and Redwood Park would be open to the public during business hours. Additional improvements to Mark Twain Alley would include eight new trees, new paving (replaced in kind), in-ground lighting, overhead catenary lighting, and movable furniture to provide seating and dining space. The street vacation of Mark Twain Alley would provide significant public benefits. The project would create an enhanced pedestrian space, providing improved access to an enlarged and rehabilitated open space that will create pedestrian connections to and through the interior of the block, linking Sansome, Washington, and Clay Streets to Redwood Park.

Downtown Large Project Authorization for existing nine-story historic building with 55,759 square feet of office and 3,001 square feet of ground floor retail space. The Project proposes to demolish the adjacent single-story retail building at 501-505 Washington Street and a concrete capped, below-grade story at 517 Washington Street and construct a 49,999 square foot office addition (the “Project”). The new horizontal and penthouse addition would extend to the north and west of the Existing Building and would add 49,999 square feet of office space and 2,419 square feet of new ground floor retail. The principal historic street-facing facades of the Existing Building on Sansome and Mark Twain Place will be retained, and the addition has been carefully designed to respect and compliment the character of the preexisting structure. In total, the Project would result in a new building with 105,758 square feet of office and 5,420 square feet of ground floor retail. The Project will also provide 7,103 square feet of open space. 6,103 square feet of private open space would be provided for the building’s tenants, via a 1,245 square foot ground floor courtyard and a 4,858 square foot roof deck. In addition, the Project will add 1,000 square feet of POPOS, located at the ground level between the new structure and the adjacent Transamerica Redwood Park to the west. The new POPOS area will be designed as a visual extension of the existing Transamerica Redwood Park, while respecting the original character of the Park and the separation between the new and old.
