"Developer Align Real Estate has finally submitted their plans for the former Safeway and its parking lot at Webster and Geary in the Fillmore neighborhood. And rather than the 1,000 or so units that were first discussed for the 3.68-acre site, Align revealed Monday that they are looking to build 1,800 units under the state's density bonus program, with around 15% of them designated affordable."
"The Safeway store closed in January after 40 years in business before any concrete development plans had been shown to the public, but Safeway said it was closing the store ahead of any future development due to declining sales and "persistent theft." The store had originally announced a March 2024 closing date, but former Supervisor Dean Preston negotiated with the company to keep the store open through all of last year."
"The proposed mixed-use development would include buildings of multiple heights, including a 30-story tower near the Geary Boulevard end the base of which would be home to a 20,000-square-foot grocery store. Phasing of the project would potentially allow for the existing, vacant, 40,000-square-foot store space to be reactivated while construction takes place on the rest of the site, as the Chronicle notes."
