1000 Van Ness is one of the largest structures north of the Civic Center, along Van Ness Avenue and O'Farrell Street in San Francisco, California. Developed by the architectural firm Weeks and Day, the property was one of the city's most successful buildings in the 1920s. The property was famously used as the Don Lee automotive showroom (a former Cadillac dealership) until the 1950s. After that, 1000 Van Ness was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
1000 Van Ness was converted by TMG Partners into a modern 147,528-square-foot mixed-use complex. The newly repurposed property houses the first 92,724-square-foot multi-screen movie theater developed in San Francisco within the past 20 years. The property also includes a 33,222-square-foot health club, 7,500 square feet of retail space, 14,000 square feet of office space, 50 luxury loft condominiums, and a 450-car garage.
1000 Van Ness is walkable to several shopping, dining, and entertainment amenities. This retail destination is walkable to public transit through multiple MUNI, Caltrain, and BART lines. Several educational institutions are in the neighboring Civic Center neighborhood, including UC Law San Francisco (formerly known as the UC Hastings College of the Law), the Art Institute of California San Francisco, and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
