What the coronavirus shutdown means for the Bay Area\u2019s housing crisis<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As much of the Bay Area\u2019s economy sputters to a halt due to the new coronavirus, housing builders are plugging away \u2014 pouring concrete and hanging drywall \u2014 even as they impose strict hygiene rules and ask workers to keep a safe distance from one another.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the six Bay Area counties that issued a shelter-in-place order included housing construction on the list of essential services that are exempt from shutting down. The order allows all housing projects to continue \u2014 market rate, affordable, and mixed-use \u2014 while construction projects that are strictly commercial must temporarily shut down.<\/p>\n

\u201cMayor Breed absolutely believes building housing is an essential function at this point,\u201d said mayoral spokesman Jeff Cretan. \u201cWe need that work to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, there are 10,000 units under construction in San Francisco. About 4,300 were completed in 2019.<\/p>\n

The shelter-in-place order Monday sowed some confusion among builders who were under the impression that they would be forced to shut down job sites. Bob Nibbi, president of Nibbi Brothers Construction, which is building nine Bay Area housing projects, said he was starting to do just that before learning that housing construction could continue. The company has several commercial building jobs that will be suspended.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur housing job sites will remain open,\u201d said Nibbi.<\/p>\n

The company implemented social distancing and strict hygiene rules several weeks ago, he added. \u201cMorale is still good. Our people are happy to be coming to work and earning a living,\u201d he said. \u201cEspecially when you are seeing layoffs in so many other industries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eric Tao, a partner with L37 Partners, said construction at 950 Market St. is progressing, with the ninth floor poured this week. That project, which has 232 condos, a theater and 242-room hotel, will continue. At Factory O\/S, a modular housing factory on Vallejo\u2019s Mare Island, three housing projects are being constructed on the assembly line, including two affordable complexes and one for Google workers.<\/p>\n

Factory O\/S President Rick Holliday said workers have been ordered to stay 5 feet from one another, while janitorial services have been tripled and hand-washing stations have been added throughout the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur guys want to work. We have 270 people banging away. Their attitude is, \u2018We\u2019ve got housing to build for the homeless. And we have plenty of plywood and sheet-rock,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cWe are business as usual while being extra vigilant about hygiene.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said he thinks there will be a brief pause in financing new projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d be surprised if any deals got done this month, but I don\u2019t think capital will flee housing,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are still 3 million units short in the Bay Area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sam Moss, executive director of Mission Housing, which is building two affordable projects, said his group would continue to build.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are doing everything we can to keep our workers safe but in this crisis, it\u2019s more clear than ever that housing people is among the most important factors in keeping people healthy,\u201d he said. \u201cThe housing crisis is a self-inflicted wound caused over the course of decades. It\u2019s good that elected officials are taking it seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

But while projects still under construction are going ahead for now, developers say the fast-moving virus will eventually disrupt new housing production, exacerbating the region\u2019s already severe housing shortage. The pandemic could make it harder to obtain building materials, while widespread sickness could fuel a worker shortage or shut down job sites altogether.<\/p>\n

Already, lenders have at least temporarily stopped writing loans for new construction projects, said John Manning, a broker with Avison Young, which helps developers finance housing development. On Thursday, a lender canceled a loan on a 100-unit West Coast condo project, although Manning wasn\u2019t authorized to discuss the details.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is going to be a mass pause in the very short-term,\u201d said Manning. \u201cIf we have two months of home isolation and then things start to flatten out and get better, I\u2019m imagining the banks and equity funds will gradually put their toes back in the water.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tao of L37 agreed. His group is raising capital for a new project \u2014 299 units at 1270 Mission St. \u2014 which he said will likely be delayed.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, lenders are sitting on the sidelines waiting to see what happens before deploying more capital,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A lack of liquidity in the markets could slow down the city\u2019s multi-phase megaprojects, like India Basin, Treasure Island and Candlestick Point. Other projects that were already languishing due to a lack of financing before the coronavirus hit the Bay Area, like the proposed condo tower at 1 Oak St., could drag on even longer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s too early to know what the impact will be, but it\u2019s hard to imagine that housing production won\u2019t be delayed by workforce and financing issues, just for starters,\u201d said Judson True, Mayor London Breed\u2019s point person on housing production. \u201cClearly, the city\u2019s focus right now is on public health, but at some point we may have to look at even more creative strategies to take on the housing landscape we face after the virus recedes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emerald Fund President Oz Erickson, who has built thousands of housing units in San Francisco, said that historically low interest rates will make it cheaper to build housing. But he said COVID-19 will slow down construction as workers call in sick and building material deliveries slow down.<\/p>\n

High construction expenses and city-imposed fees have already increased the cost of building in San Francisco to about $800,000 a unit in San Francisco, which makes building anything challenging, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe coronavirus will be an additional impediment to financing any project, which was already exceedingly difficult,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is going to do nothing to help with construction costs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The health crisis could be a mixed bag for affordable-housing developers. Low interest rates could make it cheaper to borrow money. A hiatus in market-rate projects could cool down competition for land, lowering costs for taxpayer-subsidized projects. But the cooler market wouldn\u2019t matter if the coronavirus substantially depletes the workforce.<\/p>\n

In addition, affordable projects in San Francisco are backed by the city\u2019s top-notch credit, which makes them a safe haven for investors in turbulent times, said Rebecca Foster, chief executive officer for the San Francisco Housing Accelerator Fund, a public-private partnership that helps pay for the production and preservation of affordable housing.<\/p>\n

But affordable developers also face increased uncertainty. The coronavirus is already disrupting the tax-exempt bond market, Foster said. Most affordable-housing projects in San Francisco are funded in part through the sale of tax-exempt bonds.<\/p>\n

Foster said she is getting ready to sell tax-exempt bonds in the next few months for a supportive-housing project for the formerly homeless in the South of Market.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s possible the bonds will sell with a lower interest rate than expected, but also possible that there will be no buyers,\u201d she said. \u201cIt adds another layer of uncertainty, and that can impact your timing and add to costs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
