The Nexus at 400 Divisadero

Divisadero is the heart of the Alamo Square, NOPNA and Lower Haight neighborhoods. This vibrant locale flourishes with more than 100 unique merchants, restaurants and entertainment venues, abundant parks and transportation. 400 Divisadero intends to transform the auto-intensive 400 block between Fell and Oak into a pedestrian-friendly mixed-use community, providing new rental and on-site affordable housing, neighborhood-serving retail and a greatly enhanced pedestrian experience.

Gap in the Middle

Many households are caught in a gap — they can’t afford to buy a condo, yet earn too much to qualify for a Below Market Rent (BMR) unit. Instead of building a limited number of luxury condos, 400 Divisadero can use the same space to develop many moderate sized rental apartments that are affordable by design for the middle, while likewise increasing the production of BMR units.

Gap in the Street

Divisadero Street between Fell and Oak Streets consists of three gas stations, two freeway arterials and a car wash with hundreds of automobiles converging on the neighborhood. This busy, auto-oriented use presents a hazard for pedestrians and bicyclists, cuts the neighborhood in half and wastes an acre amid a serious housing crisis. Imagine this block instead as a place where people want to live and gather.
