Maudelle Miller Shriek Community     (Leading image)
Located across from Ashby BART, this transit-oriented development brings 87 new homes with a full range of unit sizes, with roughly equal numbers of studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units. Fifteen percent of the apartments are fully accessible, and the remaining are designed to be adaptable. An additional 10% of the units have features for people with hearing or visual impairment.

The property features a community room with a full kitchen for residents to host events, a landscaped courtyard with a playground and outdoor seating, auto-stacked parking with mechanical lifts to minimize parking footprint, bike parking, on-site property management, and supportive services for residents.

SFPUC Headworks
The new Headworks facility continues San Francisco Public Utility Commission’s Wastewater Treatment Campus redesign. The Headworks facility, serving as the preliminary intake for the treatment process, required a significant transformation with modernized upgrades. Supporting SFPUC’s mission, the new facility seamlessly integrates the high-function process equipment into the site while providing the surrounding community with a refined aesthetic for a resource they can be proud of.

SFMTA Central Subway Station
The new Yerba Buena/Moscone Station on the Central Subway line is a celebration of transportation as civic art. After the Loma Prieta earthquake damaged the freeway in 1989, the central subway was part of the planned improvements to public transit in San Francisco. These improvements included three new stations: Yerba Buena/Moscone, Chinatown – Rose Pak, and the Union Square/Market Street Station.

Join us September 3rd for a firm tour and refreshments. This is a no charge event.
