Transbay 2 West anchors the corner of Folsom and Beale in San Francisco’s downtown, just one block from Salesforce Park and the Transbay Terminal and two blocks from the Embarcadero. The nine-story building will provide affordable homes—in studios and one-bedroom units—for seniors, have private residential stoops, and feature retail and community spaces on the ground floor. A sixth-floor roof deck set off of the community room will allow residents to gather, or simply enjoy a view of the adjacent park.

This senior building is being developed concurrently with a 100% affordable family housing project on the same block. The two buildings share a mews space that encourages intergenerational gatherings and co-mingling.

KMA is working in association with Mithun. The Chinatown Community Development Center, with the Office of Community Infrastructure, is developing the project. Transbay 2 will provide 100% affordable housing in this critical area of the city. A portion of the units is set aside for formerly homeless seniors.
