On November 6, 2009, San Francisco Housing Development Corporation celebrated the opening of its latest project Cheryl Towns Homes at 4800 Third Street. The mixed use building anchors the corner of Third Street and Oakdale Avenue with 18 affordable condominiums and over 2,000 square feet of commercial space.
As a Rose Fellow, I came to the project just as financing was closing. I spent the last two years working with the development consultant from the client side of the project.
This will be a great site to welcome first-time homebuyers. The building is directly in front of a light rail platform and includes bike storage. Homeowners will enjoy and abundance of natural light in their homes, granite counter tops, stainless steel, energy star appliances. Solar panels power the common electrical needs. I even put in a little hands-on work and sewed fabric panels for the lobby.
