Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation recently resubmitted its preliminary project permits for 1234 Great Highway in the Sunset. But don\u2019t get too excited: Jacob Goldstein, the project manager, wrote that the project remains \u201con hiatus.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The proposed development would transform the parcel of land between Great Highway and Playa Street, currently a Motel 6, into two eight-story apartment buildings for low-income seniors. The 199 units would include studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments, some set aside for formerly homeless seniors. The development would also include a health care center,<\/a> operated by Self-Help for the Elderly, to provide nursing care, physical and occupational therapy, and mental health counseling.<\/p>\n The project, which will cost an estimated $181 million, has been on hold since changes<\/a> at the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development threatened its financing, and developers lost a key state grant<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n The project has been unpopular<\/a> with some area residents since its inception. But legislation passed in the last few years\u2014 like the city\u2019s constraints reduction ordinance<\/a>, which made it easier to build new senior housing, and SB 423, a state bill that fast-tracks projects<\/a> in jurisdictions\u00a0like San Francisco that aren\u2019t meeting state housing goals\u2014allowed the project to move forward relatively quickly, until financing got in the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and that light is California\u2019s Proposition I<\/a>. If approved by voters this November it would authorize the state to issue $11.25 billion in bonds to fund \u201cincome-qualified housing.\u201d If Prop I passes, wrote Goldstein, TNDC plans to restart the financing process in January 2027.<\/p>\n Once construction starts, the project would take almost two years to complete. For now, the Motel 6 remains open, with mixed <\/a>reviews<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation recently resubmitted its preliminary project permits for 1234 Great Highway in the Sunset.
