HomeRise at Mission Bay

Centrally located near multiple transit stops, HomeRise at Misson Bay is designed to architecturally integrate into the evolving neighborhood. It combines healthy, welcoming, and supportive housing (140 studio apartments) with 24-hour reception, indoor and outdoor tenant community spaces and onsite services to support residents progressing into housing stability. The exterior design responds to the evolution of the neighborhood from industrial to residential use. The design of the central garden courtyard recalls the original natural bay landscape and includes a mid-block community garden for use by residents and the neighbors.  

Integrated sustainable design and resiliency strategies include high-performance exterior envelope and windows, enhanced air quality ventilation systems, roof top solar renewable energy systems and pre-installed infrastructure for future battery backup and recycled water systems. With an elevated ground floor level in response to future sea-level rise threats, engineered walks and ramps adjust to maintain accessibility when predicted significant ground subsidence occurs over time outside the building footprint.   

Modular (factory-built) construction provided the three upper floors while site-built construction formed the foundation, ground floor and exterior cladding systems including the roof. This hybrid construction project is an example of our team’s commitment to innovative construction methods. This hybrid approach capitalizes on the potential benefits of shortening the construction schedule by overlapping factory and site construction schedules, employing a significant amount of local labor, and reducing construction waste.
