Affordable Housing Opens at 921 Howard Street, SoMa, San Francisco

Members of the development team and local officials gathered earlier this month to celebrate the official opening of new affordable housing at 921 Howard Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The 18-story residential project has brought over two hundred middle-income rental units to the city directly across from the 2022-opened phase one of 5M. Curtis Development and the TNDC are jointly responsible for the project.

The 192-foot-tall structure contains an estimated 205,000 square feet, including some ground-floor retail. Of the 203 units, 33 are studios, 84 are one-bedrooms, 81 are two-bedrooms, and five are three-bedrooms. The development will be priced for households earning between 75% and 120% of the Area Median Income. The average income for future households will be 90% AMI.

Swinerton’s role as the general contractor involved managing the construction of this complex urban project, ensuring that it met the highest standards of quality, sustainability, and safety. The building features energy-efficient systems and sustainable materials, aligning with Swinerton’s dedication to environmental responsibility. The project was completed in partnership with Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation (TNDC) and SOM architects, showcasing the power of collaboration in bringing meaningful change to the community.

This project is more than just a building; it’s a step towards a more equitable future for San Francisco. Swinerton is honored to have been part of this important initiative, helping to create a space where residents can thrive and contribute to the community. The 921 Howard Street development exemplifies Swinerton’s commitment to building structures and stronger, more inclusive communities.
