"San Francisco is undergoing a massive construction boom that will bring about 4,000 new housing units to the city over coming months, and thousands more in future years. Where and why the building is happening and how it will transform the look and feel of the city is discussed in more depth here.
What will life be like inside the forthcoming new residences? Developers are clearly trying to appeal to Gen Y tech types with amenities such as dog washing, bike parking — even a dog run and bike repair area at Avalon Bay's AVA 55 at 9th — industrial-feel lobbies, state-of-the-art fitness centers. Many projects will incorporate ground-floor retail with shops and restaurants that essentially will create fully serviced neighborhoods overnight.
Here are peeks inside three upcoming projects.
Trinity Place Phase 11 at 1190 Mission Street is slated to open in June with 418 units in a 22-story tower at the corner of Mission and Eighth Street. Next door is 1188 Mission (Phase I); when all four phases are completed the complex will bring 1,800 units to what had been a desolate stretch of Mid-Market just steps from the Civic Center BART station. The buildings will surround a green plaza open to the public. Retail is part of the plan, but no commercial tenants have been identified yet."
