    About the Project

    1101 Connecticut, also named Block X, is the first building in the redevelopment of the 38-acre Potrero Public Housing site in San Francisco. It is the result of a multi-year effort working with the residents and surrounding community to shape the redevelopment master plan in what will be a 1,700 unit mixed-use, mixed-income neighborhood.

    This 72-unit family housing building is located on a vacant steeply sloping site and offers views across San Francisco Bay and toward the South San Francisco hills. The massing steps with the topography and complements the buildings in the surrounding neighborhood. The common spaces and apartments take advantage of the views with a large south-facing courtyard designed for play, interaction, and barbeque.
