1000 Fourth Street marks the corner of 4th and
Channel Streets as a gateway to San Francisco's newest neighborhood, Mission
Bay South. This setting carries civic obligations unusual for an affordable
housing project; it demands a welcoming, well-made and richly articulated
building to set the standard for development to follow on the surrounding
blocks. As a community-oriented development for 150 low-income families, this
building must hold its own amongst larger, more expensive market-rate neighbors
and biotech campuses.
The
project includes 11,000 sq. ft. of retail space lining the Fourth Street
corridor, anchored by a corner restaurant space, and a community building facing
Channel Park to serve the greater neighborhood. Common areas include two
mid-block courtyards and a rooftop garden; a teen room, exercise room, day care
and supportive services. The building is designed to exceed a LEED® for Homes Midrise Gold rating
