The project rising at 706 Mission Street is one of the tallest projects rising in the city of San Francisco. Located in the SoMa neighborhood, it is bringing 146 new homes, a ground-level space for retail or restaurant, and a new four-story location for the city’s Mexican Museum designed by Mexico City-based TEN Arquitectos. The development comprises two towers, the historic ten-story Aronson building and the newly built 45-story tower designed by Handel Architects. Its future residents plan to move in by the end of the year.
