OMA<\/a> and San Francisco-based Y.A. Studio have completed 730 Stanyan, a 160-unit affordable housing<\/a> development adjacent to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco\u2019s<\/a> Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. The project marks OMA\u2019s first completed 100% affordable housing development in the United States, according to the firm.<\/p>\n

The 1.9 million-square-foot mixed-use development was delivered for the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation (TNDC) and Chinatown Community Development Center (CCDC). The permanently affordable apartments are intended for low-income families, formerly unhoused families, and Transitional Age Youth.<\/p>\n

Occupying a former fast-food site at Haight and Stanyan Streets, the eight-story building is divided into volumes responding to the scale of the surrounding neighborhood. Four-story sections face Haight and Waller Streets, while an eight-story central volume is shaped around a series of courtyards and terraces.<\/p>\n

More than half of the development\u2019s apartments<\/a> are intended for families, with 82 of the 160 units configured with two or three bedrooms. The building\u2019s massing creates additional corner conditions within the plan, allowing apartments to receive multiple orientations and, in some cases, views toward Golden Gate Park.<\/p>\n

The facade is composed of modular<\/a> glass-fiber reinforced concrete panels incorporating windows and ventilation louvers. Their wave-like profiles reference the rhythms and forms of Haight-Ashbury\u2019s surrounding townhouses while providing a standardized system intended to reduce installation time and costs.<\/p>\n

At ground level, three courtyards designed with GLS Landscape Architecture<\/a> include a private residential garden, childcare play area, and gathering space opening toward the park. A glazed corridor connects the spaces with residential amenities and services while maintaining views toward Stanyan Street.<\/p>\n

Upper-level circulation is arranged with staggered corridors intended to reduce the length of internal hallways, while elevator lobbies provide views toward Golden Gate Park. Residents began occupying the building several months before completion was announced, with the development now fully occupied.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy carving 730 Stanyan to maximize light, views, and shared outdoor spaces, we sought to create homes that are generous and deeply connected to the surrounding community and Golden Gate Park,\u201d OMA Partner Jason Long said about the scheme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OMA and San Francisco-based Y.A.
