As construction crews were busy carving the foundations of what someday soon will be 31 townhomes into the side of a hill on Yerba Buena Island on Thursday, a 124-unit condominium building at its foot was already humming with life.

Sitting in a shaded corner that overlooks a courtyard anchored by a Magnolia tree, developer Chris Meany described waking up in the six-story building with underground parking and panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay as “awakening to the spiritual experience” of living in San Francisco.
