Featuring dynamic architecture, the nine-story glass and steel frame
tower provides sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, an onsite
attendant, a boutique hotel-inspired lobby with lounge, outdoor living
spaces and other first-class amenities.
Situated just blocks from major employers, as well as San Francisco’s
world-class entertainment and nightlife, 72 Townsend epitomizes the
essence of Bay Area living. Iconic city landmarks like AT&T Park, the
Embarcadero, the future home of the Golden State Warriors and the
financial district are all within a two-mile radius of 72 Townsend.
The condominiums, penthouses and one exclusive townhome available at 72
Townsend will range between 810 and 2,859 square feet in size, with up
to three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. Each residence will also
include a highly-coveted underground parking space in the complex’s
secured garage, a tremendous and extremely rare benefit in the bustling,
vibrant neighborhood.
“72 Townsend by KB Home Signature, a flagship among the broad spectrum
of new home communities that we have open for sales throughout Northern
California, represents both a natural progression of our urban focus and
the continued strategic expansion of our long-standing presence in the
Bay Area,” said Chris Apostolopoulos, president and regional general
manager of KB Home Northern California. “It is incredibly exciting to
offer these extraordinary residences and to have one of the few new home
opportunities now available in what may be the most desirable area to
live in the country.”
Buyers at 72 Townsend will also be able to take advantage of the unique
KB Home semi-custom homebuilding approach, which allows them to
personalize their home to their tastes with contemporary and
sophisticated finishes, design features and décor, including imported
European appliances and cabinets, Caesarstone slab countertops, premium
hardwood and stone flooring, energy-efficient systems and technology,
stainless steel appliances and more.
72 Townsend is the former site of Hooper’s South End Grain Warehouse,
the oldest one-story warehouse in the South End District that survived
San Francisco’s infamous 1906 earthquake and fires. Built in 1874, the
building’s historic façade was preserved during the construction
process, adding a touch of old world charm and a poignant connection to
the City’s past.
KB Home Signature properties, such as 72 Townsend, are distinguished by
their unique locations and innovative floor plans. Like 72 Townsend,
these premier communities are situated in prime metropolitan locations
and leverage KB Home’s nearly 60 years of experience in homebuilding to
showcase fresh and forward-thinking designs that fit and enhance today’s
live, work and play lifestyles. KB Home Signature properties feature
functional and flexible living spaces elevated with spectacular
finishes, state-of-the-art amenities and high-end materials to create
distinctive homes that surround the senses with style, class, beauty and
elegance. KB Home Signature properties are also built with the same
commitment to energy and water efficiency that is a hallmark of the KB
homebuying experience.
