A Modern $46 Million Spec House in San Francisco

San Francisco may have suffered painful population loss during 2020, but the city’s luxury real-estate market is now rolling back in like fog from the Bay. Sales and prices of expensive homes are shooting up, and one particularly confident high-end developer just put a spec house in Cow Hollow on the market for $46 million.

If achieved, that would be one of the priciest sales ever in San Francisco, which has one of America’s highest rates of income inequality and lost 4 percent of its population in May, according to a migration report from the analytics firm Placer.ai.

Despite these strong headwinds, Neal Ward, the listing agent for 2582 Filbert Street, a six-bedroom, new-build mansion on a triple-wide lot, is bullish about the city’s prospects. “After a very uncertain 2020, the 2021 market kicked into full steam in March in ways we have never experienced nor expected,” he told Robb Report. “What made San Francisco and Silicon Valley wonderful environments to reside in is now coming back to life after a sleepy Covid, and the pulse of the city has never felt stronger.”

Departing “families and influencers,” he said, have been replaced by “a tremendous number of new upstarts [who] have been extremely successful.” Prices are supported, he said, by San Francisco’s “limited geography and available properties.” The $46 million price tag, he says, is not as uncommon as it appears. “While other properties exist at even much higher price points, they are not for sale or not publicly marketed.”

A recent report by Compass supports Ward’s optimism. Sales of homes with four or more bedrooms rose by 22 percent year-over-year, while the median sales price of a house in Pacific Heights, round the corner from 2582 Filbert Street, has risen to a new high of $6.75 million in the year to date (though there have only been 16 sales, so tight is the supply.)

The 12,200-square-foot house is on three levels, with each floor measuring about 4,000 square feet. The home is an emblem for biophilic design, a new trend where a home is built to prioritize natural materials, light, ventilation and technology to filter air and water. This space has a cornucopia of energy-saving and wellness-enhancing fixtures: solar panels, toxin-free paints, triple-pane windows and doors, rainwater harvesting and a MERV-13 air-filtration system that changes the internal air nine times a day.

Inside, the 19-foot-tall motorized entry door (accessed via biometric entry, naturally) opens to a two-story atrium with a 30-foot long stone feature wall. The prospective buyer can also find a floating glass staircase and indoor reflecting pools. Further exploration reveals three indoor fireplaces and two outdoor fire pits, a gym with a deck for open-air workouts, a 72-foot lap pool and built-in stainless-steel spa, a separate “wellness spa” with glass-enclosed sauna and steam shower featuring a waterfall chromotherapy rain head. Other delights include a private movie theatre, wine room, Tesla Powerwall and—a must—lighting fixtures that “mimic natural forms such as water ripples, plant vascular systems, lightning and other fractal forms.”

Outside, a small but very manicured rear garden has a stone patio, lawn, outdoor kitchen and evergreen perimeter planting, to hide from the neighbors. Upper floors also open onto terraces, while the roof is topped by an outdoor lounge with views across the bay from the Golden Gate Bridge to Alcatraz.

The look, according to the home’s developer, Gregory Malin, CEO of Troon Pacific, is “San Francisco meets Los Angeles. It’s unheard of to have an open, airy, modern, newly-constructed home on such an expansive piece of land in San Francisco.”

Ward is even more effusive: “The residence is one of the most rare and epic properties San Francisco has ever seen in current times or may ever see again.”

In the not-too-distant past, the AP/RC obtained Nagatani’s multiple decades long project, Chromotherapy (1978-2005), and his legendary portfolio, Nuclear Enchantment (1988-1990). Although the images in the latter portfolio referenced Nagatani’s collaboration with painter Andree Tracey, our collection lacked any specific examples of their work together. Three of the images among the recent acquisitions are from this now-infamous partnership, Missile Mentality, Blue Room [Variant], and Beware Artist.

Both artists wrote about working side by side at Polaroid (see Nagatani’s web site), creating theatrical sets and infusing them with performance. Nagantani’s and Tracey’s 1983-89 collaboration is described as beginning, “…when Nagatani was offered 2 days use of a 20” x 24” Polaroid camera. He was a photographer, Andrée Tracey was painter and they occupied studios in the same Los Angeles building. Tracey’s sensibilities coalesced with Nagatani’s ideas and set design experience, and with this alliance, their collaboration was launched. Using aspects of photography, painting, installation, and performance. Working in a theatrical way (we) expanded the boundaries of large format Polaroid 20X24 photography. The recurring theme through much of this work is the threat, the chaos, and the consequences surrounding a nuclear episode. Both artists appear as actors in elaborately constructed and intensely colored images which are peppered with irony and humor despite the darkness that the work forecasts.”

In addition, the AP/RC did not have any the artist’s work from his Nagatani/Ryoichi Excavation project that spanned 1985-2000. Nagatani wrote that, “My photographs of Ryoichi’s excavations present a temporal paradox – evidence of an automobile culture which seems to parallel that of our own twentieth century, but found in widely disparate places and times. I follow Ryoichi’s single-minded, almost obsessive campaign until the team confronts the last site. We read and come to know ‘deep history’ – past before written record – from archaeological sequences read as text.” Five of the images, Ford Explorer, Cadillac Town Car, Cadillac Eldorado, Volkswagon ‘Beetles,’ and Plymouth, are from this series.
