After 20 years of hard work, the first new construction homes on San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Island are hitting the market at a time when house hunters are looking for the island development’s combination of urban access and natural beauty. “Buyers are yearning for less density, a slower pace and a return to the important things in life,” said developer Chris Meany, whose firm Wilson Meany built the new collection of condominiums and townhomes on the island in San Francisco Bay. With Downtown San Francisco just a ~10-minute ferry ride away and 72 acres of trails and parks just outside, these Yerba Buena Island homes combine luxury, convenience, and beauty to create a unique Bay Area neighborhood.

The journey to living on Yerba Buena Island was a long one, but now, sales have launched for the first new construction homes in the middle of San Francisco Bay. Centered around newly created Hilltop Park, the homes on Yerba Buena Island will range in size from studios to expansive townhomes, with sweeping San Francisco skyline views and access to a suite of luxury amenities. Best of all, residents of the Yerba Buena Island homes will be connected to Downtown San Francisco by a new ferry line, bringing residents to and from the city in less than 10 minutes.

A new collection of condominiums and townhomes is going up on scenic Yerba Buena Island, marking the first stage of a development that will ultimately turn the San Francisco Bay island into a full-fledged neighborhood. Architectural Digest reported that sales have begun at The Bristol, where 124 new construction condominiums will give residents sweeping San Francisco views as well as easy access to 72 acres of green space that includes five miles of trails, a sandy beach perfect for launching, and the newly constructed Hilltop Park. The Yerba Buena Island homes at The Bristol range in size from studios to three bedrooms, all designed by New York-based architectural firm Hart Howerton.

JustLuxe previewed The Bristol, the first Yerba Buena Island homes to come to market. This collection of new construction condominiums from San Francisco developer Wilson Meany is located on one of the rocky island’s forested hilltops, from which residents will enjoy sweeping Bay Bridge and San Francisco skyline views from their spacious luxury homes with interiors by Edmonds + Lee Architects. The Bristol residents will be able to walk out their front door and onto 72 acres of surrounding parks and green spaces, including secluded Clipper Cove, panoramic Hilltop Park, a scenic dog park, and five miles of trails and paths.

Sales launched in February for residences at The Bristol, the first residential building to go up on Yerba Buena Island in San Francisco Bay. Developed by Wilson Meany, with design by Hart Howerton, Edmonds + Lee Architects, and Meyer Davis, these homes range in size from intimate studios to epic multi-level townhomes, all centered around a landscaped, open-air courtyard and surrounded by 72 acres of parks and green space. Residents of these new construction homes will have sweeping San Francisco Bay views that include the Downtown skyline, the Bay Bridge, and nearby Clipper Cove, which is perfect for catching some rays and launching kayaks onto the Bay.

Developer Wilson Meany released prices for the new construction homes at The Bristol on scenic Yerba Buena Island, with studios on the island in the middle of San Francisco Bay starting at $800K and three-bedroom residences at $3 million. When complete, residents of these luxury condos will have access to the building’s suite of health, wellness, and recreation amenities, including a rooftop deck, children’s room, and fitness center, all arranged around a central landscaped courtyard. Beyond the building’s walls, residents of all Yerba Buena Island homes will enjoy 72 acres of parks and green space, all with the same panoramic San Francisco and Bay Bridge views as are available from their abodes.
