San Francisco, California

This 42,000 SF project consists of 56 studio apartments for formerly homeless adults plus on-site services. Safe, quiet open space, protected from the urban environment, was an important part of the design. This is provided at the rear of the building, as a landscaped plaza on the second floor podium. A café is planned for the street level retail space; this business provides the opportunity for workforce training for residents. The project is being developed in conjunction with an adjacent 180-unit family housing complex. The design and development teams have worked collaboratively throughout the process to create compatible urban neighbors.
