500 Montgomery St.
A developer is eyeing an office building in Old Town North, hoping to convert ground-floor space into a restaurant and arts use.
The project goes before the Planning Commission Tuesday evening. City staff is recommending approval of the project.
The building is at 500 Montgomery St., across from Wooboi, St. Elmo's North and Sister's Thai in The Gables development. "The subject site consists of a 102,798 square foot eight-story office building with proposed improvements concentrated at-grade and on the ground floor," according to the building owner's application.
The building, called Madison Place, has underground parking and is eight stories tall. Some of its underground parking is used by The Sheraton, which is directly south of the building.
"The applicant intends to renovate the existing office building, and its plans include the conversion of existing ground floor office space into activated commercial, arts and restaurant with outdoor dining uses situated entirely within the site property boundaries," the application states.
