Looks like this one is coming along nicely. Not big enough to qualify for its own thread but at 86 units, still noteworthy. I like that it includes a good amount of 2BR and 3BR apartments rather than being primarily studios or 1BR. It's also right next to Muni Metro's 4th and Brannan Station on the T Third Line, and about a block away from Caltrain’s San Francisco Station, so with parking only being included for 85 bicycles, should help improve the neighborhood’s pedestrian activity, public transit usage, and reduce vehicular congestion.
The specs for 160 Freelon St:
- 9 floors, 95 ft
- 86 units (15 studios, 24 1BR, 23 2BR, 23 3BR)
- 100% of the units will be affordable
- Parking for 0 cars and 85 bicycles

Concrete Rising At 160 Freelon Street in SoMa, San Francisco
By: Andrew Nelson 5:30 am on January 16, 2026
Significant construction progress has been made for the nine-story affordable housing project at 160 Freelon Street in SoMa, San Francisco. Concrete has surpassed the halfway point, with completion expected by mid-2027 for the 86-unit complex. Related Companies and the San Francisco Housing Development Corp are sponsoring the development. Construction is being led by a joint venture with Cahill Contractors and Guzman Construction Group.

Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects is responsible for the design, working with associate architect Y.A. Studio. The latest renderings show an off-white facade visually separated into three parts, with thick metal panels framing each section. The ground floor will include a double-height covered play yard connected to the community room and the future park.
The project spans from Freelon Street to Bryant Street, positioned between 4th Street and 5th Street. With construction rising, the site is now visible to drivers along I-80. The building is less than a block away from the 16-story apartment complex at 555 Bryant Street.
