This transformative $150 million development, spearheaded by Mercy Housing California and the Chinatown Community Development Center, will bring two vibrant affordable housing communities to San Francisco’s East Cut neighborhood.
Designed to foster connection and well-being, the Senior Building—crafted by Mithun in collaboration with Kerman Morris Architects—prioritizes community engagement, combats isolation, and seamlessly integrates with the surrounding neighborhood.
The Family Building, envisioned by Kennerly Architecture and Planning in partnership with Y.A. Studio, will provide essential resources for growing households. Anchoring the development is a 6,000-square-foot childcare center and a dynamic retail space—envisioned as a local food market, serving as the neighborhood bodega.
By creating thoughtfully designed, community-centered spaces, this project will enhance affordability, accessibility, and quality of life in San Francisco’s evolving urban core.
