Located on the edge of South San Francisco’s dense downtown just a few blocks from the 101 freeway, 201 Grand Avenue is a Family Affordable apartment urban infill project advancing the emergence of the area’s Downtown core. Planned in a straightforward L-shaped configuration with a small retail component on the ground floor, the design makes the most of a tight lot through efficient unit layouts and car lifts in the subterranean parking. Projected to be complete in early 2023, the family affordable development caters to individuals and families making less than the area’s average income. The aesthetic blends modern and industrial materials, detailed in ways that nod to the former warehouses of the area.
