Congrats to my client CP for landing his first home, a charming 2BR/2BA unit at 99 Rausch Street, in the heart of the bustling SOMA district. 99 Rausch is a NEW 6-story, 112-residence community with very nice amenities & environmentally sustainable features. Inspired modern living at the heart of everything. Benefits to living at 99 Rausch include a 7-days-a-week concierge, gym, yoga area, owners lounge with TV & wet bar, bicycle repair station, and—most importantly—a dog wash station. Best of all, a sun-kissed rooftop deck and lounge includes 2 BBQ grills, fridge, TV, multiple partitioned seating areas, fire pit, and panoramic views from downtown skyline to twin peaks!

Like some new construction buildings, 99 Rausch is offering incentives to fill units. My client was able to get a credit for non-recurring closing costs equivalent to 12 months of HOA fees plus a free washer and dryer. This, plus transparent pricing, are compelling reasons why new construction can be a great starting point for first-time buyers in San Francisco.
