The Unfinished Façade Of 77 Van Ness (And Its 56 Residential Units)
While the façade isn’t quite finished the scaffolding is down from around 77 Van Ness. Once again, it’s 56 potential condos and 21,000 square feet of commercial/retail for lease, but considering the fate of Argenta and Artani perhaps 56 new rental units instead.

This building came out well. I like how it echoes elements of the old Masonic building next door. I am not advocating all new buildings look like it, but it is appropriate and distinctive.

Tasteful. It lacks texture, though.

For what it is, this is a remarkably good looking building. I especially like the tall ground floor and cornice-windows which I'm guessing encloses a roof deck. It yields a strong base and lighter top. I bet this is one commission Heller Manus didn't get (:

Nice looking building. I'll be interested to see the interior finishes.
Anyone have any updates on the Argenta? As far as I can tell, it's still sitting empty.

Yeah, good looking building. Nothing fancy, but very classy and something that will age well.

"Classy" "Tasteful" "Nice looking"???
Just more fake-old SF mediocrity to these eyes.

I love this building! It is modern, yet restrained and appropriate for the site. Great job!
