TNDC acquired the Normandy Apartments on January 31st, 2025, to preserve long-term affordability for residents. The Normandy building has 78 studios and 30 one-bedroom units. Prior to the acquisition, the building was governed by SF Rent Control. Today, TNDC and San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD) will ensure that this property and its residents will enjoy enhanced protections in the future.

Located in District 2 of San Francisco, this acquisition marked MOHCD’s first preservation project in this high-wealth neighborhood that had a significant shortage of deed-restricted affordable housing and is the largest preservation acquisition by unit count for the Small Sites Program. This acquisition will provide 108 permanently affordable units in the City’s Western Addition neighborhood for families, individuals, couples, older adults, and long-term residents within a variety of ethnic and racial backgrounds. Aside from one manager’s unit, all units will be restricted to households not to exceed 120% MOHCD AMI with rents that will average 80% MOHCD AMI.

The building is in good condition, and there will be an immediate rehabilitation that will focus on the necessary fire and life safety upgrades to ensure the resident’s needs are met in the long term.
