Experience modern luxury living at The Rockwell, a premier condominium development in San Francisco's coveted Van Ness Corridor neighborhood. Located at 1688 Pine Street between Franklin and Van Ness, San Francisco, CA 94109, this stunning 13-story twin-tower complex offers 260 contemporary residences with historic charm, world-class amenities, and spectacular city views.
Designed by renowned architecture firm Kwan Henmi Architecture/Planning, Inc., The Rockwell was completed in 2016 and represents a masterful blend of historic preservation and modern design. The development preserves the historic Classic Revival facades from San Francisco's Auto Row dating back to the early 1900s, seamlessly integrating them with two sleek contemporary 13-story glass towers. The building is part of the Pine Street Auto Shops Historic District and holds significant historical importance as some structures once stored belongings of Japanese Americans during WWII internment.
The Rockwell's striking architecture features geometric facades with glass and solid panels, creating a refined aesthetic that merges modern design with early 20th-century architectural details. The project was developed by Oyster Development (developer of The Marlow), with Build Group as general contractor.
