In addition to the City’s sale of 909 Tennessee (the next tour of which will be October 12 at 2 pm), two of the City’s Octavia Boulevard parcels are on the block and seeking bids.
The minimum bid for the 11,275 square foot Parcel H on the southwest corner of Gough and Grove is $2,950,000 while the minimum bid for the 17,398 square foot Parcel J on the north side of Hayes between Gough and Octavia is $4,450,000.
Sealed bids on the two parcels are due by October 26. Both parcels are zoned for mixed use housing under the Market Octavia Plan.

I wish someone would propose merging these two properties and building a project with a diagonal pedestrian path/plaza from Hayes towards City Hall (sort of along the lines of the lower photo). Besides creating about a block of “extra” commercial, ground-level possibilities, it would do a lot to tie Civic Center and Hayes Valley and give some life to the City’s least neighborhoody neighborhood.
Oops. I thought we were talking about J and I, not J and H.
I assume Parcel I has already been disposed of?SF
Correction: Parcel H is on the Northwest corner of Gough and Grove.
