11:24 am
we have bank of america here and merrill lynch and i want to say a special thank you to bank of america for sponsoring this event today so we can celebrate. we have a board member that hasn't hasn't arrived yet. is dennis here? this is a well designed building that fits into this urban care. there are things that you might not know that i will share with you today and you may have all of this history. this site used to be a good will warehouse and damaged in the 89 earthquake and was vacant for a
11:25 am
long time. in about 2007 the parcel was programmed for affordable ownership housing but unfortunately because of the economic downturn and the mortgage melt down it was reenvisioned and fortunately then into affordable rental housing. that was coupled with the incredible demand for renters in the city of san francisco and allowed the project to move forward. the site is very small. you wouldn't quite know it considering there are 50 affordable units on this site but it's over a quarter of a acre, .27 acres and shaped like a t and wide top and skinny handle and from a design point of view it's challenging and from a staging construction view
11:26 am
difficult. we're lucky and grateful to the team that met the challenges and came up with an amazing design and able to build the building and i don't know if you know this but we're excited they were honored with innovation award with design build issues and i have to say that was an incredibly well deserved award and congratulations to the team for getting that award. [applause] so demand for rental housing in san francisco really all of the bay area but especially san francisco continues to sky rocket. our leasing team receives more than 2800 applications for the 60 units here and while we are excited to welcome the 60 households that are residents here our work is not done. there are many, many households searching for affordable housing opportunities here in san francisco. but again as i say we're very excited about our new residents
11:27 am
and in fact you will be hearing from one of wally gilbert and tell about the importance and for the residents this is making a tangible difference everyday. affordable rents means that families can pay for other essential items such as food, health care, transportation, education, child care and this is really important of course for the residents but it's really important to us as well. our work goes beyond the bricks and mortar and even though it's a beautiful building we're proud you but this is opportunities to connect with each other and programs and service that help them thrive so with that on with the program. it is my pleasure to introduce the next speak are, the executive director of the san francisco community and investment and infrastructure
11:28 am
tiffany boheath. [applause] >> thank you anne. i am thrilled to join all of you this morning as we commemorate the shared vision, mission and valued. this incredible housing department for 60 low income families located in the heart of soma is really a testament to that shared vision. it is has been 20 years since we first acquired this site for affordable housing and through the last seven years and bridge has been our partner to build these homes to stabilize lives and improve this neighborhood by doing so. 474 that toma wouldn't have happened without the leadership and support of our mayor, mayor ed lee. the mayor set a city wide goal of 30 housing units by 2020 with the majority of the homes within
11:29 am
reach of lower and middle income families. with this development and the other city funded developments [inaudible] also by bridge down the road and trans bay and hitler gardens in district 10 the city is well on the way to meeting that goal and this is no accident. this is due to the mayor's commitment and tireless effort that will help ensure san francisco remains a vibrant city for all san franciscans. i want to acknowledge and thank kim ki -- supervisor kim and this is backed by her vision and leadership by the district supervisor that we push ourselves and we push our development partners like bridge to provide quality housing for those in need. certainly we owe a tremendous thank you to bridge. it's been a long and
11:30 am
windy road when you were selected as developer in 2007 but it was worth it as we stand here today. working through the complex process and san francisco and the economy was wavering then demonstrates your commitment to affordable housing that improves the economic status of residents and advance the revitalization of this 6th street corridor. certainly this day wouldn't be possible without the advocacy and the stewardship of the south of market project committee and i'm not sure if i see any members here today but really unsung heroes. without them our community partners in this district we wouldn't be here today. they supported the former redevelopment agency's efforts really to develop in the
