Mercy Housing California has completed 1180 Fourth Street, a 150-unit affordable housing community in San Francisco’s Mission Bay South, a key component of the burgeoning 300-acre Mission Bay community of housing, retail and office space. The project, designed by collaborating architects Mithun|Solomon and Kennerly Architecture & Planning, is located at the corner of Fourth and Channel Streets.
1180 Fourth, developed at a cost of approximately $55 mil, provides a range of critically-needed affordable housing within this fast-growing neighborhood, and houses 150 low-income, very low income and formerly homeless individuals and families.
“As a prominent gateway to Mission Bay, 1180 Fourth’s setting carries urban design obligations unusual for an affordable housing property,” said Daniel Solomon, a partner at Mithun|Solomon, the San Francisco office of Mithun. “With a vibrant mix of street level uses, and richly articulated architecture, this building holds its own among larger, market-rate neighbors and biotech campuses. 1180 Fourth brings the city’s cosmopolitan diversity to this emerging neighborhood.”
The six-story community of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments includes 11k sf of retail space lining Fourth Street, anchored by a corner restaurant space, and a community building facing Channel Park that serves the greater neighborhood. Common areas include a rich array of mid-block courtyards and gardens on three levels, along with a teen room, exercise room, two family-day-care units, and supportive services spaces.
Mithun is the executive architect and architect of record for 1180 Fourth, with associated architects Kennerly Architecture & Planning and Full Circle Architects. 1180 Fourth’s design was originated as WRT/Solomon E.T.C. The contractor is James E. Roberts-Obayashi Corp. Property management provided by Mercy Housing Management Group.
