23 Wood Street – Build-Ready Lot with Foundation in Prime Location


23 Wood Street is a developer’s dream—a rare, build-ready lot in San Francisco’s prestigious Laurel Heights with significant infrastructure already in place. Sitting on a quiet cul-de-sac with unobstructed 360° city views, this lot features about 75% - 95% complete foundation (valued at $300K–$500K), a nearly completed car pit, and structural steel beams already on site (valued at $10K–$15K).

Construction documents and job cards, are available, making it easier for a buyer to seek recommencement of expired permits. Additionally, the existing foundation and a car pit are estimated at about 75-95% complete, and a structural steel beam on site — added value for your build.

The existing structure is likely a tear-down due to the passage of time, but the value here lies in the completed foundation and the potential to revive and reimagine the original plans—or start fresh with your own vision. Panoramic city views and outdoor space add to the appeal of what could be a stunning project.
