The Landmark at Union Square was one of the many notable contributions of Ernest Albert Coxhead to San Francisco’s architectural heritage. Built in 1908 in the Mannerist style for the Home Telephone Company, the historic façade towers over its neighbors in this central, downtown area. Plant converted the historic building into 39 upscale condominium units above a ground floor retail space. The 7-story, steel-framed structure is clad in Colusa sandstone and ringed internally by a perimeter brick curtain wall. The condominiums were 100 percent pre-sold, even before construction was completed. The building is listed as a San Francisco Landmark and is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

Presidio Landmark

The Public Health Service Hospital (PHSH) district of the Presidio contains 14 significant buildings. Many of them, including the hospital building itself, were abandoned during the 1980s and sat vacant for two decades. The building suffered serious vandalism, weather damage, and disrepair before the project to convert it to residential use. Plant became involved with the developer’s team early in the planning stages and completed the renovation and residential conversion of the 70-year old hospital building in 2011. The 237,000 sq ft building, renamed the Presidio Landmark, contains 154 studio, one, and two-bedroom rental units and boasts two interior courtyards, a “New York style” lobby, and a private dining room and chefs kitchen available for residents. The project received LEED Gold certification.
