With new plans for residential towers announced seemingly every few days for the Civic Center portion of Van Ness, long-time neighbor the San Francisco Conservatory of Music has bought two properties along the corridor to ensure that it has room for future expansion. The buildings are 214 Van Ness's Lighthouse for the Blind—which is planning a move to 1155 Market—and a 27-unit, rent-controlled residential building at 200 Van Ness. The school has no immediate plans for the residential building, which is home to a number of elderly tenants. [SFGate]
