Approved for the development of a six-story building back in 2013, with 24 residential units over ground floor retail and a 14-car garage to rise, the prominent gas station site on the northwest corner of Castro and Market has been locked in an epic legal battle ever since.
And after two years of litigation and a deadlocked jury, Superior Court judge Suzanne Bolanos has just ruled in favor of the majority owner-operators of the site and against developer Joe Tierney who paid $340,000 in exchange for a 10 percent interest in the property back in 2004 with an agreement to purchase the remainder of the site for $3,094,000.
