Build Inc., developing the project with Avalon Bay, was the successful respondent to a Request for Proposal issued by the City of San Francisco for what was originally the on ramp to Highway 101 Southbound from Oak St. The site, an entire city block, is located in the residential neighborhood of Hayes Valley. It adjoins the earthquake damaged 101 Freeway sites. Once the freeway was removed, the neighborhood quickly began a transformation into what is now one of the prime neighborhoods in SF.

The winning design was based on breaking the entire city block into fragments, which in turn would effectively allow a large project to fit more comfortably into the neighborhood. The plan evolved into a 180 unit residential development designed by 3 different architects with multiple buildings over a common podium, thereby obtaining efficiencies in construction while maintaining diversity in design.

Construction is slated to begin in mid 2013.
