275 Coleman – Under Construction | San Francisco, CA

Affordable Family Housing with a View Comes to Hunters Point

DESCRIPTION

275 Coleman, previously called “11 Innes” and “Block 56”, is planned to take full advantage of the 0.45 acre site’s space and view of the bay to the southeast. Fitting in a mixture of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5-bedroom units into the site ensures that household of all sized can be accommodated, several of which have recessed street level entries. A mid-block break along Coleman Street functions as the site’s main entry while also allowing for vertical circulation and physical and visual connection between the courtyard and Coleman Street. The entry stair at Coleman is highlighted with a four story art glass wall to promote its use. A local artist’s painting was digitally transferred to the glass panels. The central courtyard is designed with a multi-purpose area, raised planter beds, tables and benches provide outdoor activities, while also allowing residents to take in the site’s views. Off of the courtyard is a community room with views to the southeast. Other services included in the building’s plan are a Flex Space, bike storage, fitness room, and 42 spaces of garage parking.

Architectural Vision

Our goal is one of true connection-joining residents together in community both within the development and among the surrounding neighborhood, with special attention to family healthy and wellness. It will be a high-quality building, environmentally conscious, and community oriented with resident service programs rooted in the social and cultural context of the broader neighborhood. It will provide residents the opportunity for stability, economic mobility, personal health, and family success.
