Mayor Sheng Thao recently announced that the Liberation Park affordable housing proposal will receive $44 million of state financing. The money will help construct over a hundred units at 6955 Foothill Boulevard in East Oakland. The project is a joint venture between Black Cultural Zone Community Development Corporation and Eden Housing.
New renderings have been revealed for a small residential infill at 1973 Greenwich Street in an affluent corner of San Francisco by Cow Hollow and the Marina District. The project will add two units to the small parcel. San Francisco-based home builder Hyline Construction, Inc is listed as the property owner.
Construction has started for two affordable housing complexes rising on Transbay Block 2 in East Cut, San Francisco. While site work has been active since the start of this year, its official groundbreaking ceremony was held late last month. Once complete, the block will add 335 new apartments in the high-rise neighborhood by Rincon Hill.
Concrete has topped out with facade installation underway for the eight-story affordable housing complex at 730 Stanyan Street in Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco. The white and gray precast panels showcase the design from the influential architecture studio, OMA. Once complete, there will be 160 new permanently affordable apartments, retail, community space, and a childcare facility next to Amoeba Music, Whole Foods, and Golden Gate Park.
The State of California has helped secure new funds for 1515 South Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco’s Mission District. The Department of Housing and Community Development has awarded $37.9 million towards a 168-unit affordable housing proposal for the vacated site. Chinatown Community Development Center and the Mission Economic Development Agency are jointly responsible for the project.
