A New San Francisco Neighborhood

Balboa Reservoir will be a welcoming community organized around a large central park with connections to surrounding neighborhoods. Like the best San Francisco neighborhoods, this will be a diverse community serving a range of incomes and household types, with a special focus on families with children and CCSF faculty and staff. It will also be a deeply sustainable place that prioritizes walking, biking, and the shared stewardship of resources. Most importantly, this community will be called home by up to 1,100 San Francisco households, with half having access to affordable/workforce housing. Balboa Reservoir has the potential to have a meaningful impact on the Bay Area’s housing crisis.

News and Updates

Construction of Phase 1A of the Balboa Reservoir project began in November 2025. This phase includes building out infrastructure for the community and developing two affordable housing buildings.

Collaborative Community Process

Every member of our team has a longstanding reputation for in-depth and successful community-oriented development. The first step to any successful project is a deep understanding of the project context – the people, places, institutions, and patterns that shape any neighborhood’s daily life. Since 2017 we have gained this understanding through engagement with the Balboa Reservoir CAC, and what we have learned has shaped the development greatly. We are eager to continue our dialogue with community members, neighbors, the CCSF community, business owners, and a broad range of stakeholders as we continue with this project. Please join us!
