Arc Light

In 1888, this building hummed as the California Electric Light Company's Station B, the plant that arced San Francisco's very first electric streetlights to life — and gave Arc Light its name. It survived the 1906 earthquake, anchored the city's South End Historic District for over a century, and today stands reimagined as sixty-plus loft residences layered beneath a striking modern glass addition. Exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and oversized windows carry the building's industrial DNA into every home, flooding each residence with natural light. Layer in thoughtfully designed studio, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom floor plans, elevated amenities, and an unbeatable South Park location, and Arc Light brings together everything you need for a life that's as dynamic — and as singular — as the building itself.
