255 Fremont / 222 Beale, located on Transbay Block 7, will be a 120-unit, OCII-sponsored affordable housing project featuring 120 apartments serving families between 40% and 50% of the area median income (AMI). This affordable development is another step toward reaching Mayor Lee’s goal to provide 10,000 affordable housing units by 2020.
