The largest new 100% affordable development to open in San Francisco in a decade, this building establishes a gateway to a new neighborhood. Bringing almost 200 family homes and retail space close to downtown, transit, a medical campus, and a future park, the affordable building’s rich details—custom weathering steel, textured concrete “dancing columns”and a “napkin ring” stair tower set to hold giant bamboo—set a welcoming tone.
