That concludes tonights meeting good night. Thank you, wow, were starting on time, huh . Hey to everyone here in soma. I am so excited to be here. This project was approved in 2015. I was on the board of supervisors with former supervisor jane kim. There were a lot of delays. But delays dont mean denials. This project is going to be done. It is not only going to provide office space, its going to provide much needed housing in our city. Over 800 units of housing with 245 unit of Affordable Housing for seniors and families who are experiencing homelessness. This is the kind of project that should not be delayed. This is the kind of project that we need in communities all over San Francisco. Because we know, we have challenges with Affordable Housing. And we know that sometimes even when we have the Financial Resources to get the job done, our bureaucracy sometimes gets in the way. We have to change that. Because the people who need this housing the most, theyre counting on us to make better decisions. Theyre counting on us to get these projects done. So i want to thank brookfield and the Hertz Corporation for sticking with this project to get the job done. This project will provide 76 million in Community Benefits for the soma neighborhood. And let me just say [applause] that one of the things im most excited about, is that it will be providing art support. As a former director of an arts organization, our arts and our culture are critical to the success of our communities. And it has to be at the center of all of these Major Projects that we produce. So im also excited that soma filipino heritage district is receiving the kind of support it needs, to not only be a cultural district in this community, but it will help to make sure that we provide the kinds of programs and things so that people are reminded of the rich history and culture of the Filipino Community and the soma community. So thank you so much for all of the resources, all of the support, all of the excitement. This communitydriven project, that is going to really revitalize and change and shape this community and do so in a way that provides mixeduse, that provides new opportunities and that ensures success and safety for this community. Thank you, all, so much for being here and playing a major part in sticking with this project. And being very patient, rudy, as we know it took a lot of patience to get this project done. No more delays. Were breaking ground and were going to get it done. Thank you, all, for everyone who played a role in this. [applause] thank you so much, mayor london breed. At this point, wed like to welcome Brookville Properties Vice President of development, jason bonet. Well, this is a very exciting day for all of us. Over a decade in the making. Weve reached this moment because of the vision, and support. Because of the tremendous leadership of mayors past and present. Thank you to late mayor ed lee for his commitment for more housing to the city. Thank you, mayor london breed, for being here today and for your tireless efforts in this city. Thank you to our great partners hurst and to our team at brookfield that is stewarding the project today. Mostly were here because of the dedication of neighbors, artists, nonprofit groups, educators and so many others who are deeply vested in the past, present and future of soma. It provides together we create an economic, social and cultural formula to support positive growth. This formula includes sustaining the neighborhoods inclusivity, creativity and roots. It promotes culture and the arts. It provides places of serendipity for people to socialize and exchange ideas. Welcoming to all. All this makes 5m what it is today and it will be. The next generation of mixeduse urban projects. Thank you to all of you who showed up today. Thank you for the good weather and ill pass it back. Thank you, jason. Hurst corporation extends more than 130 years here in San Francisco. As owner of the project, that storied history continues. Please welcome the Vice President and general manager stephen hurst. Reporter thanks everybody. Were no stranger to the neighborhood. As you heard, 130 years. My greatgrandfather took possession of the San Francisco examiner in 1887. I moved up here after doing a stint at the l. A. Examiner and Magazine Group in 1984 and worked in this building 15 years and held 9 different positions. They told me the glass was bulletproof, all i know you couldnt see in unless it was night. At any rate, were a longtime member of this neighborhood. We love it. We have a vested interest and we were in on the ground floor planning, along with the city and brookfield going forward. Theyve both been great partners. Were very pleased to see it coming to fruition. And the mayor mentioned bureaucracy. 11 years is too long to move a project like this that benefits so many. We cant wait to see the open space. Its going to be graen, its going to be beautiful and im sure people are going to enjoy it on a daily basis. With that, i say thank you very much for joining us. Enjoy your day. Thank you, stephen. The support and guidance of former District Supervisor jane kim resulted in a project that always puts the community first. Please welcome former District Supervisor jane kim. Thank you so much. It has really been a long journey to get to where we are today. I just want to acknowledge a number of people who made this project, not just possible, but the project that is sitting before you today. A project that is going to achieve 40 affordable and middle Income Housing, including very lowIncome Housing. A project thank you for the applause. A project that is going to achieve open space and arts and also much needed housing here in San Francisco. But it took a lot of folks to get us here today. And first i want to acknowledge all of the members of our community. Particularly here in south of market who get involved and engaged on every single new development here in our city, because this is our neighborhood. Like many of the folks im about to acknowledge, i also live one block away from this development site, so it matters to me what we get to be a part of when we build this community. I want to acknowledge west bay filipino. Podco. Tenderloin Filipino Community association. And the mint mall resident building and their leader stefani. And of course, united players. [applause] the many years that we spent in putting this project together, i still remember the first meeting i had with hearse when they told me the project would be coming to me within a year or 14 months for approval. I smiled. About five years later we had them come before the board of supervisors, but there was a small group of folks that worked to make this happen. Now brookfield, jack and alexis and Karen Johnson and april ng and many of our Community Leader who told us what they wanted to see. Ensuring that as we build more housing and grow this neighborhood, that those who have lived here, can afford to live in this development as well. While 40 is not equal in every development, its important to know that 40 part of 5m is for formally erly formerly homeless. Its important as we build, to include those struggling, but working to live in the city. Im so proud of this project. Thank you to everyone involved. Especially the ladies. They were involved in the negotiation room. Alexis, april, karen, in the office, it was a pleasure to see this through. Thank you very much and congratulations to brookfield hearst. Thank you, former supervisor kim. United players says its takes a hood to save a hood. So organization has been active and participatory in the creation of the 5m program. Please welcome united players executive director rudy corpus. [applause] thank you, jocelyn. First of all, i want to say thank you, god, for giving me this opportunity to be here to share with you guys. And be up in here with the mayor, the arest of the you guys. When i walked in earlier today, several people asked me, what you doing here . I said i live here. Right down the block. Why shouldnt i be here . So i say that because, in order for us to stabilize our community where you have over 100 years of filipino history, you have to be a part of the decisionmaking that is happening in your community. So when you ask to take the hood to build the hood, i am the hood. Ive been here all my life. I used to run up and down these alleys down here and make bad choices, but im still here. Me and our organization and other organizations here like west bay, the oldest Filipino Organization on the west region, we been here. But its important for us to build relationships. To understand, to be a part of the solution and to be at the table with the people who are here also. Thats what community is all about, building relationships. We all going to agree . No, were not, but we got to sit at the table to figure out what is the best for our people that exist in this community right now. Otherwise, were not going to have no Filipino Community. You got a building right here, 90 of the people that live here is filipino. We have so many good ideas, but you have to make sure youre sitting with the people that is currently living here to build them bridges. Im into building bridges, not walls. If you want to come to a neighborhood where im at, come see me. Because were going to be here. Thats right, come see me. Matt is the District Supervisor, but im the godfather of this neighborhood. Believe that. So i finally want to say this to all my united players to did all the amazing work. We have over 200 kids right now, mayor breed, in this community that were working with. Kids from all over the community. They cant be because they have programming right now. So i want to say. I was asked to come here to be a part of this groundbreaking. We going to use this shovel right here. This is symbolic shovel and i share with you why. Green door, other ones, right, was also supported by the late mayor ed lee and the current mayor london breed and jane kim. We melted them guns down for mothers who lost their kids to gun violence. We put the gun parts in a furnace at 3,000. We melted it down and made 50 shovels. This shovel right here for the commemoration of Martin Luther king, had a 50th anniversary when he was assassinated in april, they planted a cherry tree. This is the shovel that was used. His greatgreat granddaughter used this, to plant a tree for Martin Luther king. Where him and his wife was buried.
