2:42 pm
make a quick story about why this project is so special to me. i lived in san francisco for a long time, i went to school at san francisco state so i've been involved in this community for a very long time. being part of this project means a lot to me. i'd like to thank the mayor, his office, oci, the commissioners, the citizens, advisory committee, bank of america, david baker architects, kale contractors and every single consultant in my development team. i want to thank bridgette for putting this event together on such short notice. this is a really good event. the one thing that fascinates me about real estate development is that it's one of the few industries that requires such a large amount of collaboration and team work. you can't find the industries
2:43 pm
that require this level of collaboration and i like to compare real estate development to team sports. i know you're probably tired of this comparison, but instead of doing a 45 minute lecture on how real estate development is a team sport, i want to compare my team to 2012 49ers. you could call me collin kapernick. i want to give a special thanks to pam simms. [applause] i want to give a special thanks to shaman waldon. these are the people i've worked with the most and i'm sure they are very happy they don't have to hear from me every single day like they were for a long time.
2:44 pm
so i'm grateful for everybody. there's not enough time for me to thank everybody individually. i'm excited to get this completed and the families moved in. now we're to the good part of the program. i want to introduce a special guest. this man was my mayor for several years so i've had the opportunity to learn a lot about hip. he's a great mayor and dedicated to affordability housing in san francisco. i want to introduce mayor edwin lee. [applause] thank you very much for that -- i like these construction hats. it means we're getting things done. morning! >> morning. >> welcome to the bay view, as always. this is a good time for the still. it's a good time to get together with friends. it's a good time to get together with community, to celebrate, but also, as
2:45 pm
always, to get road work done for our residents. i'm out here again, as i've said over and over again, i hate making new promises. phase one's about ole promises. i want to thank the commissioner for helping me keep that promise. this is the promise to build 60 units of 100% affording housing for this community. this is a great holiday story and -- [applause] yes, be proud of ourselves and of the city working together getting that done, and while we're doing i want we're doing it the right way with good companies, good sub contractors, good people that utilize the talent of this community already. 30% of the work force is from bay view and 50% san francisco residents to help build this housing. not only is it a good goal that we look forward to
2:46 pm
opening in 2016, we're doing it in a fashion in which local residents get these jobs. it is all about the jobs. i can see that in the eyes of the gentlemen standing back there. you're not going barbecuing, you're working. this community is invaluable to our city and now as people get down here more and more often to take a look at the homes opening up here, the communities that we're building, the partnerships we have with entities like am cal and ycd and the people working are going to feel more and more where has bay view been? where have i been to not recognize bay view and i think you'll see a huge surge of people who want to live here so those of you who own and rent here, hold on to your properties. make sure your do the right investments and take care of
2:47 pm
yourselves. when we do expand more and more attention to this area, you'll find more and more people naturally inclined to live here. there was a promise you'd never been isolated from our city. residents do deserve to be hooked up, connected up, being part of the city and this has always been about one of the major reasons why i took up the challenge to become the mayor of this city and i will continue doing that for all our communities because this is what not only makes me feel good, this is the right thing to do, carry out promises that have been made over many, many years and be assuring that those things are done. so i want, again, thank all the agencies. i'm excited for this project to happen. we break open this ground. i am in great anticipation. i'm not sure i can wait until 2016 for these homes to open. meanwhile, we'll probably be opening up construction projects to advance and
2:48 pm
accelerate. tomorrow you'll hear more about howard doing it across the city to build more affordable housing. this is the theme. my administration is the affordability agenda. i'm going to be talking about it until everybody is sick and tired because you were sick and tired of me talking about jobs, job, jobs. well, guess what, we got 7,000 kids jobs as a result. we got 4.3 unemployment. i want the benefits of that economic strength to reach everybody in the city, everyone including the bay view. this is what we get to do with additional revenues, build more housing, gets more kids, more people employed, allow them to experience the wonder of earning their way forward. and then we can work in collaboration with getting
2:49 pm
even better leadership and that's what i'm talking about when i mention the name shaman walker. ycd has been there for us. in fact, did you know ycd just a few years ago was struggling until they found mr. walton to come lead that effort. they were struggling to find what their role was and we started the relationship to say we mean it, we want our youth to be employed, we want them to be trained in those employment. it was for us in city hall a realty that we're planning for this very day when seeing all this construction going on in the community that we wanted this community to feel that and be involved in it. we started investing in ycd, they started responding with good leadership and today we're proud to say that ycd has been named one of the non
2:50 pm
profit, the best non profit 2014 of the non profit times for this year. isn't that an accomplishment right here? [applause] ranked nationally it's number went. on an overall on a list of non profits, ranked number four in the small non profit category. they grew in the past few years from a staff of nine to 25 members. they're still there. getting all these jobs, a great strong partner with our summer jobs, now year round jobs for our youth and they are right in the center of our employment services, particularly when putting skills out there and training people to get new jobs, new economy, advanced manufacturing, the transportation jobs, the housing jobs, construction jobs. even helping us place folks into the healthcare industry, which is our number one
2:51 pm
explosive employment sector in the city. i know everyone in the community would love to have an attachment to healthcare, hospitality, construction and now local manufacturing. this is all the work ycd has been doing. i'm proud to welcome the director and great partner for this housing project, shaman walton and our elected school board officials as well. >> i want to thank everybody for coming out. want to thank you mayor lee for your leadership, and also for your continued presence in this community. we have a lot of work coming to bay view and a lot of work coming on in bay view hunters point and we can always count on you to show your support. i want to acknowledge ycd's board of directors, our board
2:52 pm
president is here. [applause] so churches, homes, businesses an schools are built on faith and this lot 49 is a recognition of the nait faith we have in the community here in bay view hunters point and the faith that the city, the community, all of us trust in terms of what this shipyard could be. we're excited about the community participation on this project, all the way with the beginning of the design on the project to the construction of the project to eventually making sure we have members of this community living and residing in units here on block 49. it's been exciting to work with mcal,ocii to make sure
2:53 pm
our folks and members of this community get to work on this project as we build these units here. ycd as an anchor institution is looking forward to seeing children running around in this community, see families using the family space, people promoting bay view as one of the premier places to live in san francisco. our community partners, everyone that we worked with and worked hard for to see things like this happen, we have just begun and there's much more work to do. young community developers has been did kated for more than 40 years to make sure members of this community can go to work and really remain economically self sufficient. block #49d 49 is a part of
2:54 pm
that continuation, it's going to be exciting to see that families don't have to be displaced, but families have opportunity to move to other areas of their community and for affordable housing, if you look around you,we're not just saying it's affordable housing, but it's housing you can be proud of, happy to reside in. so we're looking very forward to the continued construction on this project, with seeing everything on to the end and making sure that the community is working and living here. we appreciate everyone's support. thank you all for coming out. now i have the pleasure of introducing mr. percy who has three decades of experience in multifamily units and construction. he's transformed am cal into one of industry's leading developers, but developing 800
2:55 pm
million residential and mixed use productions for california. he's part of an organization dedicated to advancing affording housing. >> we've been doing affordable housing since 1995 and been developing real estate in california since 1988. we've developed in 38 cities, but what makes this really special is this is our first project in san francisco. my heart's always been here, but there's never had the opportunity to do it and so for that i want to thank craig adelman who helped us acquire
2:56 pm
the site. [applause] and i want to thank obviously mayor lee and the city of san francisco and ocii, other community developers, bank of america whom we are partnered with on multiple transactions throughout the state and of course leonard bourbon who without we would not be here. we are looking forward to hopefully doing more of this. as we all knoll there's a lot of need, very critical need and we only going to make a small dent in this and i don't think the affordable housing shortage is going to be solved or even getting close to being solved in our lifetime so we're grateful for the opportunity, glad to be here. this building is going to be ready. hopefully we'll have the mayor here for the grand opening in june of 2016 and with that, i
2:57 pm
wanted to acknowledge a lot of the people in am cal that worked on this project. robert barta, the project manager; louis ramirez, executive vice president and many other folks working hard in our office in la. i'd like to now introduce la shawn walker, she's the director of public affairs. she's a native san francisco citizen and resident of bay view. she's the former resident of bay view merchants and the community implementation committee chair. please welcome la shawn walker. >> good afternoon. what he said about me is i'm also a lowel graduate. i needed to throw that in.
2:58 pm
you've heard obviously from our mayor and mr. walker and other speakers, about the importance of these 60 units of housing. but i'd like to just flesh it out a bit more. this is our first development of rental housing, which i think is very significant. our inclusionary program has already started on the blocks that are already in construction. 80% of ami or below for our for-sale housing that's currently under construction. but having a rental project is very significant. as you've heard already in terms of the need for a variety of housing types for people in this community. and so i just wanted to stress the fact and the importance of this particular block.
2:59 pm
the mayor alluded to our work force goal of 50% of local hire, but we're doing amazing things so i wanted to just spend a couple minutes to say more about that. we're not just building housing for the community, but with the community. we right now have an average of 45% of our work force hours are san francisco residents. that's not the goal, that's what's happening right now today. we have in our sbe participation right now we have 46%. sbe participation in our housing construction we have 73% sbe for our infrastructure and we have 75% for or professional services. i think that deserves a round of applause. [applause]
3:00 pm
so with all of the affording housing that is going up in the community right now, including this block and other projects that are not even our projects, we have an average of 63% of all the housing going up in the community right now is affording housing. i think that too deserves a round of applause. [applause] it isn't just about the statistics, it's about what's behind them. so you heard about these partnerships and how important they are, but as someone who lives in the community and works for the community, it's really critical. as i look out, all of you are very committed to the creation, the construction of, the financing for. thank all of you as well. now, i have the privilege
