The homes of 72 Townsend rise behind a historic facade in a mid-rise (nine-story) building clad in red metal and glass. The site was originally home to Hooper’s South End Grain Warehouse, which was built in 1874. The development retains the historic facade as a decorative element with the homes being in a completely new building that is set back and rises from behind the original building facade.
The building is home to 74 condos, with most having a floor plan on one level, but the development also contains one townhouse-style condo. Home sizes range from one- to three-bedrooms, with most homes having one or two bedrooms. Homes range from just over 600 square feet on the small side to as large as 2,859 square feet on the penthouse level.
The development, before construction, exchanged hands several times. It was originally in the hands of the developer that built Symphony Towers on Van Ness, but after they declared bankruptcy it was purchased by Simeon and then subsequently sold to KB Home.
