Frank Norris Place

by 81 frank norris An imaginative blend of a historic commercial property with thirty-two all-new residential condominiums, this development is a unique opportunity for those who are 55 and older.* The core of the City is close at hand. Being just a block and a half from the cable car and very close to public transportation makes it easy to take short ride to, Downtown, Union Square or the Opera, Symphony or Ballet. The neighborhood at your doorstep is dynamic and transitioning in a very positive way. As one travels along Polk Street, the variety and number of businesses and services is truly staggering. Named after the turn-of-the-century naturalist writer, Frank Norris, the residential condominiums are above a former coffee company that was housed in the reused brick commercial building that fronts Polk Street (now occupied by a financial company). All the residential units are 100% brand new (completed in 2007). Ian Birchall + Associates, the architects of recently constructed developments such as The Palms and 3208 Pierce, utilized a state-of-the-art steel framing system to meet the stringent building code requirements to achieve this innovative design. There are currently a variety of different one-bedroom units available and ready for immediate occupancy – please visit the Update page for more information. The attractive lobby provides a comfortable waiting area with a garden view. From the lobby, the elevator accesses the six floors of residences which feature large hallways and six different floor plans. Each unit has an open floor plan with kitchen, dining and living areas, one bedroom, one bath, washer/dryer hookups and a deck. Some units have alcoves that can be used for a home office. The kitchens have granite counters, stainless steel appliances and vented hoods. The baths have ceramic tile floors and shower walls and granite vanity counters. There are hardwood floors in the main living areas and carpet in the bedrooms. Outdoor space is available to all residents on the second floor. There is a limited number of underground parking available for purchase in the building and deeded storage spaces.
