The ground-floor commercial space was occupied by a grocer from 1892 through 1950, with little information known about future tenants.<\/p>\n<p>John Lum Architecture is responsible for the design. The existing structure will be wrapped with replacement dark grey fiber-cement siding. The ground-level and vertical additions will be clad with vertical Accoya wood siding. Horizontal wood slat screens will provide shade and privacy to the top-floor and ground-level windows.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45757\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/998-Sanchez-Street-cross-section-illustration-by-John-Lum-Architecture.jpg\" alt=\"998 Sanchez Street cross-section, illustration by John Lum Architecture\" width=\"1500\" height=\"951\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">998 Sanchez Street cross-section, illustration by John Lum Architecture<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45758\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/998-Sanchez-Street-side-view-rendering-by-John-Lum-Architecture.jpg\" alt=\"998 Sanchez Street side view, rendering by John Lum Architecture\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1090\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">998 Sanchez Street side view, rendering by John Lum Architecture<\/p>\n<p>The property is located at the corner of Sanchez Avenue and 23rd Street, just a block away from the retail-rich 24th Street commercial center of Noe Valley.
