NNN Brokers USA – San Francisco Commercial Real Estate Brokers: "The Scoop"

The façade of 281 Clara is sporting a more modern new look by architect John McLean whose office just so happens to be located at 281 Clara #8 which just so happens to have just hit the market asking…

The San Francisco General Hospital Foundation is accepting artist submissions for new designs on those inexplicable heart sculptures that dot the city. Whether you hate public art or love it, this is a pretty great opportunity to make your mark on the landscape. You know, legally. Designs are accepted year round, but the deadline for next year’s renderings is August 25. [Heroes & Hearts via Mission Mission]

If you build it, they will come — to Silicon Valley, it seems. Yesterday Santa Clara voters passed Measure J, which allows for $114 million in city funds to be funneled toward the construction of a new $937 million, 68,500-seat stadium for the 49ers, located next to the Great America theme park. The stadium is planned to go up in time for the 2014 season, and with the NFL dangling a Super Bowl carrot and most local opposition to the stadium cut at the knees with this vote, we’re thinking things will stay mostly on track. Before the measure passed, San Francisco officials were confident that just because they say they will doesn’t mean Santa Clara will actually go through with the construction of the Niners’ new field, and there’s no indication that Lennar is pulling back their own already-rejected offer of $100 million toward a stadium in their Hunters Point/Bayview megadevelopment. But four years is faster than we can imagine anything coming together within SF city limits, and it seems the 49ers have probably made up their minds. After all, what do they care — they’re keeping the “San Francisco” name either way.

While still not a done deal with respect to a move of the San Francisco 49ers from San Francisco, yesterday Santa Clara voters approved Measure J which paves the way to build a new stadium and move the team…

Yes on bonds for upgrades to city fire and police stations, yes on the Transbay Transit northerly terminus, and yes on statewide property tax limits for structures receiving seismic upgrades. Unfortunately for San Francisco’s better renting half, Prop F, which would have allowed for breaks for tenants who found themselves suddenly out of work, was voted down. [SF Appeal]

The ad implies that you’re getting the whole package at 1070 Sanchez, but it’s really just the penthouse. Not that the 3 bedroom, 4.5 bath top-floor condo is anything to sniff at: 2,543 square feet of chef’s kitchen, granite and limestone, central audio, “style, luxury and location” in Noe Valley. But besides that dodgy exterior, the Photoshop job on this whole number has us feeling a little dizzy. Tiltshift, wide angle, panorama and soft-focus all you want, brokers, but we still see more than $700 a square foot. Oh yes, and some shiny sinks.
