San Francisco’s next
big opportunity
San Francisco is an eclectic city,
not just architecturally but
socially, too. Its strong housing
market and desirability bring a
demand for property in both
classic areas, such as Russian
Hill and Pacific Heights, and
developing neighbourhoods
such as South of Market (SoMa)
and Mission Bay.
Several of the city’s largest
construction projects are in the
burgeoning SoMa area, with
luxury high-rise living as well as
the new Transbay Transit
Center, a hub for transport,
shopping, restaurants and
outdoor space. It includes the
new Salesforce Tower, which
will exceed the Transamerica
Pyramid to become the city’s
tallest building. San Francisco’s
focus on entertainment and
community also brings in the
redesigned Museum of Modern
Art and the development of the
Golden State Warriors’ 18,000-
plus seat arena in Mission Bay.
Development and price
appreciation in these areas has
created demand in nearby outer
neighbourhoods including India
Basin, Bayview and Dogpatch.
Younger buyers are drawn by the
areas’ affordability, and their
arrival has heralded improved
stores, parks, leisure facilities,
bars and restaurants. They will
continue to see growth as
demand brings new developers
and infrastructure projects.
