4. 706 Mission – The Mexican Museum
San Francisco, CA

706 Mission – The Mexican Museum, is a new 700,000 sq. ft. residential tower and museum in downtown San Francisco. The 47-story tower will house up to 130 residential units, as well as space for the Mexican Museum on levels one through four. The tower and museum will connect to the adjacent 1903 Aronson Building, which is being restored and rehabilitated as part of the project. The Aronson building will house space for the Museum on levels two through four, and 16 residential units on levels 5 through 10.

Handel Architects is collaborating with Page & Turnbull on the restoration and rehabilitation of the Aronson building, and with Enrique Norten for the Mexican Museum interiors.

5. 1321 Mission

Tower: 1321 Mission
Height: 120 feet, 11 floors
Architect: Kwan Hemni
Specs: 160 micro-units (80 reserved for students) over 3,359 sq. ft. of retail space. 1 shared car parking, 240 bicycle spaces, community lobby and rooftop garden open space
Currently: The last of the three featured today to begin, this one is actually moving very rapidly, with the excavation already completed and the initial stages of the foundation done. At the pace the construction team is moving along another crane will be hoisted and this building will be out of the ground in no time.

6. 1400 Mission

Tower: 1400 Mission
Height: 15 floors, 170 feet (approximate)
Architect: Brand+Allen Architects
Specs: Rising from 10 floors on Mission to 15 floors at the corner of 10th, the building will house 190 affordable units to satisfy requirements for the Lumina development. The mix will consist of studio-to 3-bedroom units. Stacker units will accommodate up to 40 cars and 4,300 sq. ft. of retail will face 10th Street.

The SF Housing Action Coalition recently hosted a tour of 1400 Mission Street, one of San Francisco’s few housing developments built through the off-site inclusionary option. On the afternoon of our tour, Brad Dickason of Maracor Development, Leo Shapland of Tishman Speyer, and Katie Lamont of Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation (TNDC) were on-site to share the story of this unique building.

The building’s top-to-bottom curtain wall and sleek modern design would be more indicative of a high-rise condo development than the Perry Architects-designed, 100% affordable housing project it truly is. For the better part of a decade, 1400 Mission Street ran the gauntlet of San Francisco’s pre-development process, and is now finally emerging as one of the City’s first specifically moderate-income residential developments.

The project began in 2008, when Bank of America donated a parking lot to TNDC. As with many projects begun during the Great Recession, the terrible financial conditions precluded TNDC from raising enough capital to develop a new, downtown affordable housing project on their own. Fast forward to 2012, when Tishman Speyer developed The Lumina, a new luxury condo project in the SoMa district. Instead of building below-market-rate (BMR) units on-site, or paying an in-lieu fee, Tishman opted to pursue an off-site inclusionary option, a relatively rare and risky decision. The result is a 190-unit moderate-income project located close to transit, that combines both below-market-rate (BMR) condos and rental units. Perhaps most importantly, the project is privately financed and requires no public funding.

1400 Mission will provide homes for a badly underserved income group. The building’s 167 BMR condos will range in price from $200-$300K, and will be sold to individuals and families making up to 90% of the area median income (AMI). The homeowner association dues for the condo units will average approximately $400/month. The remaining 23 units will be rented to individuals and families making up to 150% AMI. During our tour I was struck mainly by the building’s overall spaciousness. Anyone working with affordable housing can tell you that units located in dense, urban areas have never been large and have become smaller and smaller as we recover from the last recession. Austerity is the key of late, but 1400 Mission reflects the best of both worlds. Smart, efficient and sustainable designs combine with wide-open common spaces to create a comfortable environment anyone would love to call home.

7. 1415 Mission

Tower: 1415 Mission
Height: 12 floors, 130 feet (approximate)
Architect: Arquitectonica
Specs: 121 studio-, 1- and 2-bedroom units over ground floor retail and 2 floors of underground parking. 44 bicycle spaces will also be available.
Currently: While all three of these buildings started at about the same time, this one is progressing the slowest. The site seems to be adding some complications with horizontal bracing needed to keep back the street and neighboring building while excavation takes place. Still, it appears that excavation is nearly complete and work will continue as the workers prep for the foundation slab.
