International Hotel & St. Mary's Catholic Center

client group

 

The Archdiocese and Father McCotter of St. Mary's Grammar & Night School went about looking for a site in China Town that could accommodate their 55,000 sq. ft. program.  They knew they needed to move as their current un-reinforced masonry building was seismically unsound.

Father McCotter broached the idea of this lot for their new school.  They soon discovered the housing restriction on the site and approached several housing development groups to collaborate with.

 

 

CCHC (Chinese Community Housing Corporation) pulled together with the Archdiocese to form the client team for this project.
The property, school and parking portion of the project are owned by the Archdiocese of San Francisco and funded privately.  An on-going fundraising effort has been organized for St.Mary's Catholic Center.  

 

The housing tower will exist within air rights above the parking structure.  This portion of the project is receiving public funds from HUD and Mayor's Office of Housing.
