KCA has provided condominium mapping services to a variety of clients in the
Bay Area since the 1970's. This work includes some of the largest
residential and mixed-use projects in the region, particularly in the
City and County of San Francisco. KCA has been a leader in the
integration of air-space parcel maps for multi-use condominium projects,
thereby creating separate legal parcels for residential, commercial,
hotel and office uses within the same project.
In new construction, KCA starts the condominium process at an early stage -
creating a tentative subdivision map based on schematic or design
development architectural drawings. In a mixed-use project, separate
ownership interests are usually defined with an air-space parcel map.
Tentative and final air-space parcel maps are prepared by KCA separately
or in concert with condominium maps for each distinct use.
Some of KCA's more notable projects in San Francisco include 333 Bush,
Filmore Center and, most recently, the Millennium/Four Seasons complex
on Market Street. Many of our projects are smaller, however, including
two and four unit condominium conversions. Although the mapping process
for new construction and conversions is similar a conversion involves an
the additional step of physically measuring the units.
Condominium projects, especially new construction, involve a concerted effort by a
team composed of the owner, engineer, architect, attorney, homeowners
association budget specialist, title company and City's Bureau of
Street-Use and Mapping. KCA facilitates the exchanges between these
parties and has maintained a positive and pro-active relationship with
City map review staff.
