Modern urban living in San Francisco's evolving Hunters Point
The Merchant, completed in 2014, stands as a contemporary addition to San Francisco's Hunters Point neighborhood. This 4-story condominium complex houses 63 units, offering residents a blend of modern amenities and a prime location in one of the city's most dynamic areas. Situated in a neighborhood undergoing significant transformation, The Merchant provides a front-row seat to the ongoing revitalization of Hunters Point. The building's design incorporates elements that maximize natural light and views, with large windows and private balconies featured in many units. As part of the larger San Francisco Shipyard development, The Merchant represents a new chapter in the area's rich history, from its industrial past to its current status as an emerging residential hub.
Versatile layouts with modern finishes and expansive views
The Merchant offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles, from cozy one-bedroom units to spacious three-bedroom homes. One-bedroom units span from 595 to 1,021 square feet, providing ample space for singles or couples. These units, priced from $478,500 to $485,000, feature one bathroom and often include a den area that can serve as a home office or dining space. Two-bedroom units, ranging from 927 to 1,025 square feet, offer two bathrooms and are priced between $610,000 and $685,000. For larger households, three-bedroom units of approximately 1,200 square feet with two bathrooms are available.
All units boast modern finishes, including wide-plank hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the spaces with natural light. Kitchens are equipped with stainless steel Bosch appliances, quartz countertops, and stylish tile backsplashes. Many units feature private balconies or decks, offering residents outdoor space and, in some cases, stunning views of the San Francisco skyline or the bay.
The open-concept layouts in most units create a seamless flow between living, dining, and kitchen areas, ideal for entertaining or everyday living. Primary bedrooms often include walk-in closets, while bathrooms feature floating vanities and deep soaking tubs or stand-in showers. In-unit laundry facilities add convenience to daily life.
Monthly HOA fees range from $600 to $700, covering a comprehensive list of services including maintenance of common areas, exterior upkeep, ground maintenance, insurance on the structure, elevator service, management, recreation facilities, roof maintenance, security, and utilities such as water, sewer, and trash removal.
Rooftop relaxation and community conveniences
The Merchant offers an array of amenities designed to enhance residents' lifestyles. The crown jewel is the rooftop BBQ station, complete with ample seating and breathtaking views of downtown San Francisco and the Bay Bridge. This space serves as a perfect spot for entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening under the stars.
For fitness enthusiasts, an on-site gym eliminates the need for external gym memberships. The building also features a bicycle storage room, catering to the needs of cycling commuters and recreational riders alike. A courtyard provides a tranquil outdoor space within the complex, while a playground offers a safe area for children to play.
The Merchant goes beyond standard amenities with its free shuttle service, connecting residents to key areas of the city and simplifying daily commutes. The building's exterior is enhanced by green walls, adding a touch of nature to the urban setting.
Security is a priority at The Merchant, with features such as a security patrol office and secured gated garage parking.

A neighborhood in transition, blending history with modern development
Hunters Point, once an industrial hub centered around shipping and naval activities, is now a neighborhood in the midst of an exciting transformation. The area retains its strong African American heritage while embracing new developments and a growing arts scene. The Merchant is at the heart of this evolving landscape, offering residents a unique opportunity to be part of a community that honors its past while looking toward the future.
The neighborhood is home to several cultural landmarks, including the Bayview Opera House Ruth Williams Memorial Theatre, which serves as the hub of the city's African American Arts and Cultural District. This venue, along with other local institutions, provides year-round programming and special events that celebrate the area's rich cultural heritage.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Hunters Point offers an array of green spaces. India Basin Shoreline Park, just a short walk from The Merchant, features a playground, basketball courts, and an abundance of public art. The park is currently undergoing a significant upgrade, promising even more amenities in the near future. Hilltop Park, reopened in 2016, offers art structures, an all-abilities play area, and a skate park, providing recreational options for residents of all ages.
The culinary scene in Hunters Point is diverse and community-focused. Old Skool Café, a jazz-themed supper club run by at-risk youth, serves comfort food from around the globe. For craft beer enthusiasts, Speakeasy Ales & Lagers offers a popular taproom featuring locally brewed IPAs, ales, and lagers.
Shopping options are expanding in the area, with the recent opening of Lucky Bayview, the neighborhood's first full-service grocery store. For more extensive shopping needs, residents can take advantage of the free shuttle service to reach larger retail centers in neighboring areas.
The ongoing development of the San Francisco Shipyard project promises to bring even more amenities to the area, including new parks, waterfront promenades, and additional retail and dining options. This continued growth ensures that Hunters Point will remain a dynamic and evolving neighborhood for years to come.
Improving connectivity with multiple transit options
Transportation in Hunters Point has seen significant improvements in recent years, offering residents of The Merchant various options for getting around the city. The neighborhood's location provides relatively easy access to major highways, with Interstate 280 just a few blocks away, intersecting with the 101 Freeway on the edge of nearby Silver Terrace. This proximity to major arteries allows for convenient car travel to other parts of San Francisco and the greater Bay Area.
For those who prefer public transportation, several San Francisco Municipal (Muni) bus lines serve the area. The Donahue St & Innes Ave bus stop, less than a minute's walk from The Merchant, is served by the Polk line. Just a short walk away, the Jerrold Ave & Donahue St stop connects residents to the Bayview Hunters Point Express. These bus lines provide crucial links to other parts of the city, including downtown San Francisco.
Light rail options are also available, with the T Third Street line accessible from the Oakdale/Palou Station. While this station is about a 25-minute walk or a 5-minute drive from The Merchant, it offers a direct connection to downtown San Francisco and other key areas of the city.
One of the standout transportation features for residents of The Merchant is the free shuttle service provided by the building. This service offers routes to various destinations, including the Third Street Corridor, Dogpatch, SOMA, Caltrain stations, and the Financial District. On weekends, the shuttle even provides trips to popular grocery stores like Whole Foods, Safeway, Costco, and Trader Joe's, as well as the Alemany Farmers Market on Saturdays.
For those traveling further afield, San Francisco International Airport is about a 20-minute drive away, while Oakland International Airport can be reached in approximately 35 minutes by car.
While the area's Walk Score suggests that most errands require a car, ongoing development in Hunters Point aims to improve walkability and local amenities. The neighborhood's Bike Score indicates that while some bike infrastructure exists, there's room for improvement. However, The Merchant's bike storage facilities make it convenient for residents who choose to cycle.
As Hunters Point continues to develop, transportation options are likely to expand, further enhancing connectivity for residents of The Merchant to the rest of San Francisco and beyond.
