New Renderings & Permit Activity For 160 Freelon Street In SoMa, San Francisco
BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON FEBRUARY 13, 2023
The General Plan Referral has been submitted alongside updated renderings for 160 Freelon Street, a 100% affordable family housing project in SoMa, San Francisco. The nine-story proposal will create 85 large apartments close to Caltrain’s San Francisco Station, and the Fourth and Brannan stop opened with the new Central Subway extension. Related Companies and the San Francisco Housing Development Corp are sponsoring the development.
The General Plan Referral starts the process of city review to ensure the plan conforms with the city’s General Plan. Once complete, the project is ready to be considered by the Board of Supervisors.
According to the project website, the development team is expected to receive approval this year. If approved on schedule, construction can start as early as 2024. This has been assisted partly by the application’s priority status from the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development. The developer has also increased the project’s residential capacity with the State Density Bonus program and receives protection from SB 330.
According to the project summary, “approximately 25% of units will serve formerly homeless families; an additional five units will be set aside for households with a member who is HIV positive. The remaining units will serve low-income families.” The development is an agreement made by the city during the approval of Tishman Speyer’s 598 Brannan commercial development. 598 Brannan will create offices, light industrial functions, retail, and a public park across 4.5 acres.
