Van Ness Avenue, aka Highway 101, is known as “Auto Row”. In recent times some of the automotive showrooms have been re-purposed for “big box” retail and significant mixed-use developments. Van Ness Avenue is a thriving retail, office and housing corridor directly connecting San Francisco to the neighborhoods and commercial developments of the East Bay and North Bay. 1528–1540 Pine Street is a highly improved auto repair and sales office building located along the Van Avenue corridor of San Francisco, next to the Holiday Inn, one-half block from Van Ness Avenue and steps away from Polk Street. The property is within walking distance to the affluent neighborhoods of Nob Hill, Russian Hill and Pacific Heights, while being in the heart of the young and diverse neighborhoods of the Polk Gulch and the newly coined, “Tendernob.” The Polk-Gulch busy retail corridor is full of an eclectic mix of restaurants, cafes and boutique shops. 1528–1540 Pine is only three blocks from the brand new $2 billion CPMC Hospital at Van Ness and Geary which connects to a newly constructed ±253,000 s.f. medical office building. The Property will directly benefit from the newly developed CPMC campus in terms of pedestrian activity, upgrades to the existing commercial retail inventory, and for the future growth and development of this neighborhood.
