The San Francisco Planning Commission is scheduled to review plans today for the Mission Bay Block 4 affordable housing project in Mission Bay, San Francisco. The mixed-use proposal is looking to add nearly four hundred units across two structures, the tallest of which is 23 floors. Curtis Development and Bayview Senior Services are the joint developers.

The full build-out will yield around 507,795 square feet, including 336,770 square feet of housing, 43,982 square feet of parking, and 1,250 square feet of ground-level retail. The complex will produce a total of 398 units, including 80 units set aside for formerly homeless families. Unit sizes will vary with 107 one-bedrooms, 186 two-bedrooms, 98 three-bedrooms, five four-bedrooms, and two five-bedrooms. Parking will be provided for 88 cars and 287 bicycles.
The architecture team is led by Y.A. Studio, working with associate architect Perry Architects. GLS will oversee the landscape architecture. Updated illustrations show a new design scheme across both phases. The plan set for phase one shows inspiration from the nearby Canyon at Mission Rock apartment tower, designed by MVRDV and Perry Architects. Phase two plans reference the nearby 2020-built Luma Hotel’s grey concrete and grid facade.

The one-acre property is located at 3rd Street between Mission Rock Street and China Basin Street. Future residents will live along the Third Street light rail and the Mission Rock master plan site.
The Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure is listed as the property owner. Swinerton and Rubecon will form a joint venture to serve as the general contractor. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be shared.
