The Neighborhood

No. 840 Powell Street is situated on prestigious Nob Hill for luxurious City living in the midst of a thriving and exciting urban environment. It is but a stone’s throw to Huntington Park’s world renowned Big Four hotels, fine dining, neighborhood bistros and Grace Cathedral. Take an easy stroll or cable car ride to Union Square, the Financial District, North Beach, the Embarcadero’s Ferry Plaza Market and Fisherman’s Wharf.

The Building

The designs of CONRAD ALFRED MEUSSDORFFER (1871-1945), “architect of choice for the City’s most luxurious apartment buildings”, have withstood the test of time and trends in the City--ever more desirable even amidst the current crop of high rise developments in SOMA. The timeless Beaux-Arts influence is seen in his many projects, among  them, the most prestigious addresses at 840 Powell, 2500 Steiner and 2006 Washington Streets.

The exquisite wrought iron and glass canopy at 840 Powell welcomes guests to the lobby entrance with tall arched mirrors reflecting the crystal chandelier to infinity. Multiple pairs of mahogany pilasters, mirrors and brass sconces complement the classic black, grey and white marble checkered floor.
