The Landmark Union Square
333 Grant Avenue
Adaptive Re-use for Condominiums
San Francisco, CA

Of the recent adaptive re-use projects in San Francisco, The Landmark Union Square is the first of several conversions of former office buildings into residences. Huntsman devised an interior design concept with urban elements to provide a city retreat for perspective buyers. Of the building’s 51,000 square feet, approximately 36,000 square feet were converted into 39 units ranging from studios to one- and two-bedrooms to two-level penthouse suites which take advantage of the building’s unique double-height top floor. The units have sandblasted original brick walls and finishes that include granite counters, mahogany cabinets and solid hardwood flooring. The Landmark project gained support from San Francisco Beautiful and the Union Square Association, received a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board and received various approvals and entitlements from the San Francisco Planning Department.
