The block a group walks through
The One Oak site holds two non-residential buildings and a surface parking lot across five lots on Assessor's Block 0836. The Planning Commission approved their demolition as part of the project on 19 March 2026 under Motion 21904. The property covers 0.42 acres between Market Street and Oak Street, above the Van Ness Avenue bus rapid transit lanes.
The replacement is a 41-story tower with a 14-story podium and 541 apartments. The podium roof sits at about 139 feet. The tower roof sits at 400 feet, 416 feet with mechanical equipment and 436 feet with the elevator overrun and rooftop screening.
Transit at the corner
Distances below are straight-line from the 1500 Market Street address point on OpenStreetMap coordinates. Van Ness station sits 27 metres away. The Market Street and South Van Ness Avenue tram stop sits 39 metres away. The Market Street and South Van Ness Avenue bus stop sits 74 metres away. Civic Center station sits 668 metres away.
Van Ness station sits at the corner a group already walks past. Any demolition hoarding that closes the kerb pushes the walk to the second stop on the same block.
The Oak Street frontage
The approved project loads from two off-street service loading vehicle spaces and one off-street freight space. The record publishes no passenger drop-off bay, no coach bay and no coach staging area on any frontage.
Oak Plaza, a public plaza and shared public right-of-way, sits inside a portion of the Oak Street right-of-way. A coach that stops on Oak Street holds a residential frontage with a plaza in it.
What the record does not carry
No document the gate read publishes a demolition date, a construction start, a completion date or a construction duration. The project environmental impact report was certified on 15 June 2017 under Motion 19938. An addendum published on 4 March 2026 found the report still valid and no supplemental review required.
A zoning map amendment that lifts the podium height limit from 120 feet to 140 feet carries a recommendation for approval, Resolution 21902, and sits with the Board of Supervisors under Board File 260083.
The routing set
Walk groups on the Market Street frontage. Use the tram and bus stops on Market Street for the group move. Treat Oak Street as a vehicle frontage with two service bays and a plaza. Ask the sponsor in writing for any coach staging plan. Recheck the transit notice for Van Ness station before the travel date, and hold the schedule open on a start date one document publishes.
