SAN FRANCISCO, CA — ArtHaus Partners, in partnership with Belay Investment Group, has acquired The Terraces, a 117-unit multifamily property in San Francisco’s Nob Hill neighborhood, at a purchase price of $212,000 per unit and $270 per gross square foot, representing an attractive basis for entry into the San Francisco market. This acquisition marks ArtHaus Partners’ expansion into San Francisco, positioning the firm to capitalize on strengthening fundamentals, including accelerating rent growth, leasing velocity, and city-wide economic resurgence.
The Terraces Apartments, Nob Hill, San Francisco, CA
Transaction Details and Business Plan:
ArtHaus Partners closed on the acquisition of The Terraces, located at 1300-1330 Bush Street
in San Francisco on Wednesday, May 27th. The Terraces, a 13-story, 117-unit apartment
building, was constructed in 1975 and has a prime location one block off the Polk Street retail
corridor in the Lower Nob Hill neighborhood. The rent-controlled building contains 17,000 sqft
of ground-floor vacant retail space with 30 dedicated parking spaces and 55 additional parking
spaces for the residential portion. ArtHaus plans to perform several upgrades to the property,
including a structural retrofit, exterior aesthetic improvements, in-unit renovations, common area cosmetic improvements, and the implementation of the ArtHaus brand to reposition the asset.
Acquisition:
ArtHaus was well-equipped to execute on the acquisition of the Terraces. ArtHaus has been tracking this rare San Francisco value-add opportunity since early 2024 and has developed a cost-effective structural retrofit solution leveraging in-house and third-party retrofit expertise. ArtHaus and Belay were ultimately awarded this asset following a formal marketing process.
ArtHaus Partners, formerly Riaz Capital, previously operated in San Francisco over a decade ago. This acquisition marks a return to San Francisco for the company, and a first for the ArtHaus brand.
“With the acquisition of The Terraces, we’re proud to bring the ArtHaus brand to San Francisco,
following its strong rollout across our East Bay properties over the last year and a half. This
milestone holds personal significance for me as a San Francisco native. We thank our partners
at Belay Investment Group for their confidence in our vision to elevate workforce housing across
the Bay Area,” said Riaz Taplin, CEO of ArtHaus Partners.
“Belay is pleased to announce this acquisition through its partnership with a true market and sector specialist like ArtHaus, and we believe the opportunity represents a compelling fit within
our attainable multifamily program given its attractive entry basis at a discount to replacement
cost, favorable in-place occupancy, and strong embedded value-add potential. The asset’s
location in a highly desirable infill submarket further reinforces our conviction, and we look
forward to working alongside the ArtHaus team in the execution of our business plan” said Eliza
Bailey, Co-Founder, CEO & CIO of Belay Investment Group.
