2550 Irving St

The 90-unit affordable housing project at 2550 Irving St replaces the former San Francisco Police Credit Union and parking lot with a 7-story building in Sunset/Parkside.

Opposition emerged before the permit filing. In December 2021, the Mid-Sunset Neighborhood Association sued to halt the project, alleging inadequate outreach and objecting to its height and scale, according to the San Francisco Standard. The project filed permit 202205053630 in May 2022 under the AB 2011 ministerial pathway.

The permit record reached a key milestone in June 2023, when the city issued the building permit and completed its review. Further disputes followed. On August 16, 2023, the Board of Appeals rejected an appeal focused on tetrachloroethylene contamination. Mission Local reported that state experts reviewed roughly 5,000 new measurements and found no PCE source within the former dry-cleaning footprint.

On May 10, 2024, San Francisco authorized a $9.6 million property acquisition, a 75-year ground lease, and a development loan of up to $16,956,650. TNDC’s June 2024 groundbreaking plan reserved 22 apartments for families exiting homelessness and 15 for formerly homeless veterans. All homes would serve households earning 25% to 75% of area median income.

Construction began on June 26, 2024, after the neighborhood association failed to secure an injunction and lost permit and demolition appeals, the Chronicle reported. City housing officials estimated that litigation, appeals, consulting, and environmental testing added approximately $1 million to the project’s $99.4 million cost. A neighboring homeowner later disputed construction-related removal of a boundary fence and trees.

The project reached completion in February 2026. In August 2026, a TNDC employee reported that the building was fully occupied, about six weeks ahead of schedule.
