Construction has begun for the Balboa Reservoir project, which will eventually add 1,100 new homes and a park to Sunnyside

The Balboa Reservoir Development Team (Bridge Housing and AvalonBay Communities) has released an outline of the upcoming schedule for the project. Here are the key takeaways for neighbors:

Construction Schedule

• Infrastructure Work: Formal infrastructure work (roads, sidewalks, utilities) began in October 2025.
• Building E: Preparatory work for Building E (the 100% affordable housing building) will follow shortly after the infrastructure start.
• General Contractor: The project team has selected Nibbi Brothers General Contractors to lead the infrastructure work and the construction of Building E.

Pre-Construction Activities

• Material Import: Starting August, crews began importing soil and base rock to the site.
• Dust Control: Imported materials will be stockpiled near the western berm and covered with dust suppressants to comply with San Francisco’s mitigation requirements. Air quality monitors were deployed, and street sweepers are being used to keep the area clean.
