Mayor Lurie Celebrates Grand Opening of Hunters View Phase III, Delivering 118 Affordable Homes Near India Basin

SAN FRANCISCO – Mayor Daniel Lurie today celebrated the grand opening of Hunters View Phase III, delivering the final 118 new affordable homes as part of the multi‑year revitalization of Hunters View HOPE SF. This final affordable housing phase completes the one‑for‑one replacement of all 267 former public housing units and adds more than 130 new homes, alongside new infrastructure, community facilities, and resident‑focused services—helping to deliver a stronger, healthier Bayview-Hunters Point community.

The hundreds of new and revitalized homes in the Bayview-Hunters Point community build on Mayor Lurie’s work to bring down the cost of living for San Francisco’s families. In January, the mayor launched his Family Opportunity Agenda, a wide-ranging action plan to alleviate some of the largest expenses for families, young people, and workers. To build on that plan, the mayor announced just last week a major expansion of free and low-cost childcare for San Francisco families. To continue to add more housing in San Francisco, Mayor Lurie signed his Family Zoning plan—a generational roadmap to create more housing so that the next generation of San Franciscans can afford to raise their children in the city they love.

“For decades, the Hunters View site was marked by aging buildings, limited infrastructure, and too few resources for the families who called it home. Now, through the HOPE SF initiative, this community has been transformed into a vibrant, mixed-income neighborhood with modern homes, new parks, and services designed to support residents and families in all walks of life,” said Mayor Lurie. “The families who have been in this neighborhood are committed to their community and to this city—and with these upgrades, we are investing in them and saying thank you.”

As the first HOPE SF site to break ground, Hunters View represents a long‑term, community‑centered transformation made possible through resident partnership, sustained city investment, and collaboration among nonprofit and private development partners.

“This is how we continue to fulfill promises—by building the affordable housing that is promised to community and by revitalizing dilapidated housing into brand new homes that families can be proud of,” said District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton. “The time this has taken has not been ideal, but delivering on a commitment demonstrates that we will continue to ensure the Hunters View community can thrive.”

Phase III completes the one‑for‑one replacement of all 267 former public housing units at Hunters View site, originally built in 1956 as temporary worker housing and long in need of substantial repair. The new homes are seismically sound and include modern amenities such as community rooms, resident‑services spaces, landscaped courtyards, and family‑oriented open spaces. Hunters View now consists of 386 new affordable homes, including replacement units, new affordable units, and on‑site property‑management.

The redevelopment also includes major new infrastructure, such as newly constructed streets and sidewalks reconnecting Hunters View to the neighborhood street grid, upgraded utilities, public parks, a mixed‑income childcare center, a Department of Public Health Wellness Center, a recording studio, community meeting rooms, and a SF Public Library lending‑library kiosk. The Bayview Hunters Point YMCA serves as the primary on-site service provider, supporting family stability, community leadership, and resident well‑being.

“The Bayview YMCA’s work is rooted in a simple promise, to serve every resident with dignity, respect and care. Over the years we have learned that a focus on community wellbeing and whole person support is key to ensuring that our residents are supported not only for today but set up to thrive long term,” said Anastasia Y. Gordon, Senior Executive Director, Bayview Hunters Point YMCA. “Our charge and our privilege has been to support residents with housing stability, whatever that might look like for each individual, to connect people to essential resources and to break down barriers- helping to build a connected community where each resident can be, belong and become. We are thankful for our longstanding partnership with the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development which has been instrumental in our service to community and are committed to continuing to serve our residents for years to come."

Funding for Hunters View Phase III included significant investment from the city through the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development, alongside federal, state, philanthropic, and private‑sector partners such as Bank of America, Citibank, Housing Trust Silicon Valley, and tax credit investors. To date, the city has invested more than $155 million in the revitalization of Hunters View.

Hunters View’s development partners include the John Stewart Company, Devine and Gong, Ridge Point Non‑Profit Housing Corporation, David Baker Architects, Fletcher Studio, and Cahill‑Nibbi Joint Venture.

“The John Stewart Company and its partners—Devine and Gong, Inc. and Ridge Point Non‑Profit Housing Corporation—are thrilled to be cutting the ribbon on the final phase of new affordable housing at Hunters View: 118 units that complete the replacement of the 267 former public housing units on the site and add 133 new affordable housing units,” said Jack Gardner, Chairman of the Board, The John Stewart Company. “The new Hunters View has been a long‑term labor of love for all of us. We are proud to have gotten here and are so very proud of the new Hunters View!”

With Phase III complete, the final element of the Hunters View master plan will be the development of future market‑rate housing on the remaining parcels, creating a fully integrated, mixed‑income community.
