In the early 2000s it was clear San Francisco’s SOMA was changing.  A group of visionary architects and hospitality experts conceived the SOMAGrand as one of the first residential landmarks in the area to complement the opening of the eagerly anticipated Federal Building, now located next door.  The project was conceived as a bridge between a boutique hotel and residential condo building.  The development originally partnered with SF based joie de vivre hospitality to manage amenities that were on par with their hotel properties and include 24 hour front desk concierge-level service, bi-monthly housekeeping, and an amazing 5^th floor garden with adjacent gym, “in-ground” spa, fire pit, bbq area and reservable club room with full chef’s catering kitchen.  In addition, the SOMAGrand was early on to realize that people work a lot from home and provide co-working spaces throughout the lobby, reservable conference rooms and coffee service in the lobby.

In addition to the function, the form of the SOMAGrand is worth noting as well.  The exterior of the building is unapologetically recto-linear and classical urban.  Inside, the public spaces and the amenities floor, the design elements are all curves and finishes are warm, natural and organic feeling.

Residence 2007 is a spacious 2 bedroom/2 bath with dark bamboo flooring in the main areas and luxury carpet in the bedrooms, original Studio Becker cabinets, Bosch range, quartz counter tops and in-unit front loading washer/dryer.  The primary suite features a spacious bathroom with double vanity and a walk-in closet.  The 2^nd bedroom has views forever from the giant corner windows – perfect for work from home or even as a 2^nd living room if it is not needed as sleeping quarters.  In addition, there is no more convenient place to live in San Francisco.  Take a quick walk to Trader Joe’s or San Francisco’s unique Rainbow Grocery.  With mere steps to the SF Public Library, The Asian Art Museum, The SF Ballet, Davies Symphony Hall, the Yerba Buena Center, SF MOMA and so much more, this location is truly the cultural center of the City.  Nightlife of all kinds including music (think Slim’s) and some of the best Drag (Oasis and AsiaSF!) in the world are also nearby, as is transportation for when you want to go somewhere else.  BART, tech shuttles and 80/101/280 freeway access are all within easy reach and there is 1 car parking available for lease in the garage.
