Lurie Advances Plan for Freedom West 2.0; Would Bring 2,400 Apartments to Western Addition
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie on Wednesday introduced legislation to advance Freedom West 2.0, a long-planned project in the Western Addition neighborhood that could bring nearly 2,400 new homes to the neighborhood, with more than 17% expected to be affordable.
The first phase will deliver 115 units of affordable senior housing and a rebuilt Freedom West Cooperative, with groundbreaking anticipated in the first half of 2027. The full plan envisions four city blocks with a mix of market-rate and affordable housing, public open space and an innovation center.
“Residents of Freedom West and this community have long advocated for this vision, and today, we are moving to make it a reality,” said Lurie. “This investment in the future of the Western Addition helps secure a stronger future for our entire city.”
To strengthen the co-op’s long-term financial stability, Freedom West 2.0 will generate revenue through ground leases with affordable housing developers, retail spaces in the new buildings and profit-sharing from future market-rate development.
