""We're excited. This is big for folks who are actually trying to earn a living, still live in San Francisco, to have a place to afford,""
""We said working people -- carpenters, electricians, nurses, teachers. People that sometimes get left out because they are not in the very low and they're not in the very high (income bracket). These are the people that make the city work,""
""Each one represents an opportunity for a family that may have otherwise been priced out,""
An eight-story Sophie Maxwell Building will open November 1 in San Francisco's Dogpatch, providing 105 affordable housing units targeted to middle-class workers. The development occupies the former Potrero Power Station site and is part of a larger waterfront master plan that includes residential units, public open space, and retail and commercial space. The project targets workers such as teachers, first responders, city employees, carpenters, electricians, and nurses who might otherwise be priced out. The building is named after former Supervisor Sophie Maxwell, who helped close the Potrero Power Station and make the area livable. City leaders emphasized the project's role in preserving housing opportunities for working families and the city's workforce.
