Entry Regarding Soma Grand sales office visit and neighborhood walk around
I went to the sales office for The Soma Grand today. They are still putting the finishing touches together, but it looks like it is going to be gorgeous. Exposed brick walls, well-coiffed receptionists offering water, Urban Class; and that is just the sales office which is what you would expect from the partners putting this all together.
As you have read above, they are going to offer a lot of 'services' to the homeowners. One of these 'services' is an "Exclusive community value card." I am really interested in knowing more about this...perhaps free martinis at a nearby sky terrace bar? Actually Medjool is a cool bike ride just down the street (Mission/21st). Which is probably faster and safer than taking a taxi in this City.
It is amazing to see this brand new building (the Soma Grand) going up right next door (literally) to the new Federal Building. The two buildings together are beautiful and it is really going to be interesting to watch the development of the Mission/7th Street (mid-Market) area. I really think that these two buildings, along with all the other buildings (written about on this blog) will bring 1,000s of new professionals down to the area on a regular basis. Throw in all the shops, restaurants, etc, that will open....it is going to be fun to watch how this area changes over the next few years. Perhaps we are watching a sleeper area start to grow right on front of us?

Just a day after I write the entry above, the San Francisco Chronicle does an above fold article, section A of this Sunday's paper. A good read if you want to know more about Soma Grand's next door neighbor. Good stuff. They have some much better pictures than the one below. When you look at the drawing here, the Soma Grand will be the building just to the left of Four Story Annex as you can kind of make out below!

Have a look at what is going on down at Mission and 5th Streets. These two massive projects are going to change the face of the mid-Market area. The Martin Building Company is one of the best local developers of conversion (i.e. New York Style) lofts in San Francisco.
