As downtown living has become more and more fashionable in cities across the country luxury high-rise apartment buildings have sprouted up all over the SoMa district, the City’s fastest growing micro-neighborhood. One Rincon Hill is one of San Francisco’s newest, and by sheer height, most recognizable landmarks.

This soaring residential tower is among the tallest buildings on San Francisco’s skyline, which is in part due to its location atop Rincon Hill, the last buildable hill in the city and the most immediate structure visitors see as they cross the Bay Bridge into the City.

The first of its kind in San Francisco, “Design Above All” is a unique designer showcase featuring condominiums in place of a stately mansion. This collaboration between Urban West Associates, the developers of One Rincon Hill, and the San Francisco Design Center allows visitors to experience luxury high-rise living seen through the eyes of four Northern California design firms, which were selected by jury to create designs for four different life styles, that of a young millionaire, a single corporate executive, a pair of empty nesters, and a down-sizing couple.
