150 Unit luxury high rise condominium located in the heart of San Francisco.
The
structure is surrounded by a series of low-level apartments and
townhouses also built by developer Joseph Eichler in 1963. The Laguna
Eichler building contains 150 units on fifteen floors, with three lower
levels for parking. Each unit has a terrace or balcony and
eight-inch-thick, load-bearing walls that help deaden sound from one
unit to another. Laguna Eichler towers was a proving ground for the
economy of reinforced, cast-in-place, load-bearing walls over the
standard rigid frame with column-and beam construction.
This
area was originally intended to be The Laguna Heights Eichler complex,
bound by Cleary Court, Ellis and Laguna Streets designed by Claude
Oakland. Of the four high-rises originally planned for Eichler's
proposed development, only 66 Cleary Court was constructed. This
building is notable for its economy and clear structural expression.
