New renderings have been revealed for Sunnydale Block 9, an affordable housing component of the mixed-income Sunnydale Hope SF project in Visitacion Valley, San Francisco. The project will create 95 new homes ranging from one-bedrooms to four-bedrooms at 178 Brookdale Avenue. Related Companies and Mercy Housing are co-sponsoring the development.

Sunnydale Hope SF is a masterplan redevelopment of a dated 775-unit San Francisco Housing Authority site. The updated plan will provide replacement housing for existing residents and create 1,700 total homes.
The 52-foot tall Block 9 will yield around 146,460 square feet, with 90,460 square feet for housing and 27,530 square feet for the 95-car garage. Of the 95 units, there will be 10 one-bedrooms, 51 two-bedrooms, 22 three-bedrooms, and 12 four-bedrooms. The apartments will be for low-income and very-low-income households.

Van Meter Williams Pollack and Kerman Morris Architects are co-architects. Facade materials will include fiber cement panels, composite, plaster, and metal. The podium base will include board-formed concrete, wood-toned panels, vinyl, and curtainwall.
TS Studio is the landscape architect, and DCI Engineers is the structural engineer. The property will be lined with landscaping and tree plants. The S-shaped floor plan will afford two sheltered courtyards for residents, each with a unique set of amenities.
