Jazz at Pearl's - What's Happening?

  THEY CLOSED THEIR DOORS IN EARLY AUGUST.

What's going to happen to this San Francisco Club? I know of many investors who would love to reopen those doors! However there is currently little information on what will happen. I will keep you posted.

Searching for furnished short-term apartments?

Located at 2238 Hyde Street @ Greenwich

The View Tower is located in Russian Hill, and is operated by CitiSuites. It is one of the few furnished short-term apartment buildings that is not located in Nob Hill. The apartments are very formal, and have up to two bedrooms.

Here are the current advertised rates:

Residences' available
1 Bedroom Penthouse	From $6500
2 Bedroom	From $6500
1 Bedroom	From $5500 (furnished)
2 Bedroom	From $6000 (furnished)

Why am I talking about these? Because this is a trend that is growing quickly in San Francisco!

Is the Market Still Slow For a Brand New Mansion in Pac-Heights?

       

Looks like this new home is almost finished. As soon as I hear more I will post. The house next door, which was also new construction and about the same size, was listed I believe in 2006 for around $14,000,000. Obviously that was at the peak of prices. I will do some more research to make sure that is true, and also to see what the developer paid for the land.

They are currently adding a new penthouse. It may have some city views looking towards the east.

2201 Baker Street Update - 06/16/08

After a long and amazing vacation I am finally back. There has been a lot going on in the San Francisco real estate market, and a lot of articles, comps, pictures, and predictions are soon to come. Here are a couple of pictures from an old monastery in Cyprus.

       

The Presidio is currently undergoing many changes. There are many new improvements happening. There is a huge emphasis on the Arts. New Museums, Cinema Centers, and Performing Arts Centers. Presidio Dance Theater is one place that is growing quickly. The new Doyle Drive Project is causing the Presidio Dance Theater to relocate. They are however planning on expanding to a new larger space. 

1549  Willard St,  San Francisco



Listing Price - $1,295,000.00
This single-family house is located east UCSF and above Cole Valley. It is on a small street that almost seems suburban. If you don’t mind the fog, then this house is THE REAL DEAL. The house has had the same owners for 30 years, and no remodeling occurred. Although you have nothing to walk to (at least not right outside your door), the neighborhood’s “good vibe” makes up for it. Don’t believe me? Check it out yourself. This house will not last.

Sutter Heights

      Luxury 1 and 2 Bedroom Condos

Sutter Heights is a new condominium development in Lower Pacific Heights. “The design of the Sutter Heights’ one and two bedroom residences was created by Levy Design Partners Inc., a San Francisco firm with a significant list of architectural credits. The architects consulted with Feng Shui expert, Seann Xenja, in the design process to create smart floor plans for today’s lifestyles (quoted from sales website).” The units are nice, but they are still a bit pricey considering the lack of views and only decent location.

3575 Geary Boulevard - Senior Living



The Institute on Aging  (IOA), a non-profit that devotes its time towards helping seniors, is constructing a 150 suite senior living facility. The old movie theater was torn down, and now the vacant lot awaits construction. It claims it will be “expertly designed independent living spaces for seniors of modest income and those with special needs.”
The IOA Board of Directors has initiated an $18 million fundraising campaign to help build the project.
