199 New Montgomery
San Francisco, California

This 16-story condominium tower was completed in 2004, under a
fast-track design process. LDA was brought into the process by Heller
Manus Architects under a design-build arrangement with the Owner’s
selected general contractor. Already under construction, LDA assisted
the design architect with both design detailing and constructibility
con-cerns, in close cooperation with the the general contractor
and their subcontracted design-build team.

Located on a small, irregular site in San Francisco’s South-of-Market,
the project sits on the cusp between offices and the burgeoning
high-density Rincon Hill residential area. Fifteen residential floors
house 168 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and studio units. Ground level retail
opens onto both New Montgomery and Howard Streets and sits above
4 levels of underground parking.
Clad in Precast concrete panels, the structure takes its architectural
cues from its surrounding neighbors, an eclectic array of early-
to mid-20th century office buildings and ware-houses. A rooftop
patio garden caps the highest level and creates an oa-sis among
the tops of towering buildings.
