History

The developers of NEMA bought the property in 2006, which then was the site of a vacant office building. [6] Originally designed by Heller Manus as 719 residential condominiums, [7] the project site was cleared for development in 2007. Due to the financial crisis of 2007–2008, developer Crescent Heights converted the project to apartments, [8] but the site remained a vacant hole in the ground for four years. [9] In July 2009, the developers received approval to increase the dwelling unit count by 35 to 754. [4] Construction on the project began on November 1, 2011. [10]

In 2013, "NEMA", short for New Market opened in Mid-Market. [11] [12] The first residents moved into the south tower on October 1, 2013, while the north tower opened to residents in March 2014. [13] [14] In 2015, NEMA sponsored a landscape art installation by Topher Delaney. [15] [16] In 2016, NEMA sponsored an interactive art project entitled "Wall of Good Looks" along Market Street. [17]

Design and construction

Designed by Handel Architects, NEMA's four linked apartment building towers range from 10 to 37 stories high. NEMA was designed to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. [18]

Awards

In 2014, NEMA won Best New Development of the Year by the San Francisco Apartment Association, the IBcon Digie Award for Most Intelligent Building, Market Rate Rental Project of the Year by the San Francisco Business Times. [19] [20] [21] In 2015, NEMA won the Alliant Build America award and the Best Amenities of the Year award by the San Francisco Apartment Association. [20] [21]
