Affordable housing completed at 730 Stanyan in Haight-Ashbury

Construction is complete for a new affordable housing complex in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, architecture firm OMA announced alongside San Francisco-based Y.A. Studio.

The project at 730 Stanyan Street, developed by Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation and Chinatown Community Development Center, includes 160 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and amenities for low-income and formerly homeless families, as well as transition age youth.

The eight-story, approximately 194,000-square-foot development occupies a site at the intersection of Haight and Stanyan Streets near Golden Gate Park. It scales down to four stories in height along neighborhood streets to the north and south. The building is clad in GFRC panels, each of which integrates windows and ventilation louvers.

Besides housing, the building includes three courtyards which were designed by GLS Landscape Architecture. The courtyards connect to internal amenities, and look out onto Stanyan Street and Golden Gate Park through a ground-floor corridor.

The building has been open for several months, and is already fully occupied.
