The Mt Olympus Project started with the idea of creating New and Innovative Architecture built into the existing wooded hillside. Three buildings will line the curve at the intersection of 17th St and Roosevelt Way. Open space is maintained between each building, striking a balance between Architecture and landscape, and preserving the feel of the existing hillside. The homes on Upper Terrace maintain the horizontal 'mid-century modern' design language with a more open and inviting facade, adding a new view corridor between the buildings for visual relief.
Dawson & Clinton, a design-build general contractor and property developer purchased the property in July of 2014. The design team at D&C immediately began Schematic Design and hosted the first neighborhood meeting in February of 2015, kicking off two years of neighborhood outreach.
Dubbed the Mt Olympus Project by the design team at Dawson & Clinton, the project proposes to build 10 residential units on a weathering, overgrown and underutilized hillside located between Upper Terrace and the NW intersection of 17th St and Roosevelt Way. Currently, the property is divided into three contiguous double wide through-lots between Upper Terrace and 17th St & Roosevelt Way.

Neighborhood
Eureka Valley is home to San Francisco's most loved micro-neighborhoods such as the Castro and Duboce Triangle. The Castro falls into the property designation ‘Eureka Valley’ but its identity is squarely its own. With a strong and proud history of gay culture and pride, the Castro is one of the city’s most unique neighborhoods. Located super centrally, the hard-to-resist neighborhood is full of narrow and curvy streets that are home to a variety of properties, from sweet little condos tucked on the hill to beautifully renovated homes with stellar views.
Duboce Triangle is one of the most loved (and tiniest) neighborhoods in San Francisco, with its tree-lined streets, beautiful architecture, central location and access to some of the city’s most vibrant commercial areas. Nestled between Market and Church Streets and steps to the Castro, Duboce Triangle has access to a wide array of worldclass boutiques, restaurants, and cafes. Duboce Park is a favorite of dog lovers throughout the city. With central Muni lines running through it, this neighborhood is perfectly situated for the ultimate urban lifestyle.
