[2023] Affordable Multifamily Rental Projects in San Francisco
Here, we dig into affordable multi-family rental projects in San Francisco, California.
San Francisco — more broadly, the Bay Area too — has long been one of the most expensive housing markets not only in the United States, but also in the world at large. Because of San Francisco’s high cost of living, it makes sense, then, to look into the city’s planned affordable housing construction projects. In doing so, we’re not only highlighting future, cheaper housing options for everyday people, but we’re also engaging a specific construction and property type with a similarly specific need for certain FF&E materials, building materials, maintenance, and numerous other services, both during construction and afterward.
