SOMA

The area around San Francisco’s Caltrain Station and the Central Subway extension is undergoing a dramatic transformation, quickly becoming one of the city’s most exciting development hubs. Major residential and commercial projects are bringing new housing, offices, retail, and public parks to the neighborhood. AI, Tech and life science firms are increasingly setting up headquarters nearby, driving job growth and boosting local investment. With modern architecture and a blend of work-live-play amenities, this neighborhood is rapidly evolving into a vibrant, transit-oriented community. It’s an ideal spot for homebuyers seeking both convenience and long-term value.

One development, known as 88 Bluxome, is being transformed into a major mixed-use development on the site of the former San Francisco Tennis Club (5th St. and Brannan St.), This project will feature office space, retail, and a new state-of-the-art public recreation center, including indoor courts and community facilities.

In addition, the historic San Francisco Flower Mart site is being redeveloped into a modern, mixed-use complex that will include office space, retail, and housing. The new design preserves the market’s legacy while integrating it into a larger innovation and commercial hub in the Central SoMa district. This redevelopment is set to enhance the neighborhood with improved public spaces, pedestrian access, and economic vitality.

As of mid-2025, several new residential projects are proposed or underway near 4th and Brannan in San Francisco’s Central SoMa neighborhood. Some of the most notable include:

1.     598 Brannan Street – A major mixed-use development by Tishman Speyer, this project includes hundreds of residential units, office space, and ground-floor retail. It's part of the Central SoMa Plan's push for dense, transit-oriented housing.

2.     88 Bluxome (former SF Tennis Club site) – While primarily an office and community space development, future phases include residential components that may bring housing to the area as part of the broader development strategy.

3.     725 Harrison Street – Just a few blocks away, this high-rise residential project includes hundreds of market-rate and affordable units with proximity to transit and SoMa tech employers.

4.     655 4th Street – This proposal includes residential housing over retail, aiming to contribute to the walkable, mixed-use vision for the neighborhood.

Central SoMa is quickly becoming a continuation of the vast development that transformed the South Beach and Mission Bay neighborhoods, you can be at the onset of these exciting changes and take advantage of the growth and convenience.
