The San Francisco Planning Department recently published its General Plan Evaluation for the proposed 33-story residential tower at 598 Bryant Street in SoMa, San Francisco. N17 is responsible for the application and filing on behalf of the property owner, Allrise Capital.
Recent documents confirm that the project is eligible for a streamlined environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. The CEQA approval letter ensures that the plan will have no actions required from the city’s Planning Commission, while still requiring actions from the Department of Building Inspection, Department of Public Works, and the San Francisco Fire Department.
N17 Development founder Oisín Heneghan confirmed for YIMBY that “we are making progress” and the 598 Bryant Street project is moving forward.

BDE Architecture is responsible for the design, working with Creo Landscape Architecture. The planned 355-feet-tall structure is expected to yield 430,180 square feet, including 306,200 square feet across the 395 apartments, 3,750 square feet of ground-level retail, and 2,900 square feet for the 32-car parking garage, which utilizes stackers. Additional space will be made for 99 bicycles. Unit types will vary, with 31 studios, 183 one-bedrooms, and 181 two-bedrooms.
Additional amenities will consist of the second-floor co-working lounge, a third-floor open deck, and a rooftop terrace. The top deck will include an indoor amenity space, a pool deck, and seating surrounded by planters.

Of the 395 apartments, 47 will be designated as affordable housing. Of that, 35 units will be for very low-income households and 12 for moderate-income households. The application used Assembly Bill 1287 to stack density bonuses, resulting in a 70% increase above base zoning.
The 0.46-acre property is located at the corner of 4th and Bryant Street, close to the freeway exit and two blocks from the San Francisco Caltrain Station. Residents will be a block from one of the four new stations built in the 2022-opened Central Subway project.
