777 Tennessee | San Francisco, CA

In the Dogpatch, San Francisco's up-and-coming neighborhood near Mission Bay and the Chase arena, a site on Tennessee Street sat one block from the Third Street Rail and a short walk from the Pier 70 development and waterfront parks. Axis Development Group saw an opportunity to meet the area's demand for housing with a 100% privately funded apartment development.

The vision called for 59 homes ranging from junior one-bedrooms to three-bedrooms, all within a five-story, 58,000-square-foot building. Delivering that mix on an urban lot meant pairing Type IIIA construction over a Type IA base and fitting in 32 parking spaces, along with shared amenities and rentable office space. BDE Architecture partnered with Axis Development Group to organize these competing demands into a compact, efficient multi-family building, completed in 2019.

Today 777 Tennessee Street gives residents a rooftop lounge, a gym and a range of home sizes in one of the city's evolving neighborhoods. With rail transit a block away and the waterfront close at hand, it connects new households directly to Mission Bay, Pier 70 and the rest of San Francisco.
