This past April we brought you a map of the city's rehab and conversion projects. Readers chimed in about projects we skipped, so we thought it best to update the map. Here now are 21 buildings getting an adaptive reuse to breathe new life into them or a facelift to freshen things up.
Read MoreThe popular bachelors-quarters-turned-inn is expanding into a Victorian-style home that once housed U.S. Army officers and their families.

It has three bedrooms, one suite, a common living room, a dining room, and an outdoor porch and patio.
The Old Dugoni School of Dentistry Building just sold to Trumark Urban and slated for conversion to residential condominiums (77 units with 11 townhouses adjacent). Construction hopes to break ground next year.
Approvals to convert the office building into 12 dwelling units with ground level commercial uses date back to 2005, but all work stopped in 2007 due to funding issues. The project is starting up again, but the original historic materials that were supposed to be used have been mysteriously lost and are being replaced by new ones.
San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority is planning an expansion of the SF Ferry Terminal, which would include new ferry berthing facilities, removal of piers, a new plaza behind the Ferry Building, and new photovoltaic passenger waiting canopies.

The Strand Theater, vacant since 2003, is set to be rehabbed into a live performance space for the American Conservatory Theater.
The proposed new project will make seismic, fire, and accessibility upgrades for a new "assembly" use of the building (whatever that means). A bunch of stuff like doors and windows will be restored, with a little rooftop addition. The project will bring the long-vacant building into code compliance, but no use or tenant has been identified yet.
While technically the project will include some new construction, a few of the historic buildings at the old UC Berkeley extension campus will get rehabbed into multifamily rental units, with an additional 110 units geared toward low-income LGBT seniors.
The so-called “creative development” mixed-use project by Forest City would develop the 4-acre site at Fifth and Mission Streets by rehabbing the Chronicle Building and Dempster Printing Building, demoing six existing buildings, and constructing five new ones ranging in height from 50-400 feet. The end product will have 1.85M sq.ft. of office, residential (748 units), and ground floor retail/office/cultural/educational uses, not to mention 34,000 sq.ft. of open space.

The Recreation and Parks Department has a proposal to allow a Woodhouse Fish Co. restaurant on Marina Green at the site of a building formerly owned by the U.S. Navy that has sat vacant for 30 years.
