ATTACHED COMMUNITY OF THE YEAR










Known to be the type of inimitable place that invites you to stay for 

generations because it would be impossible to do better, Pacific Heights is one 

of San Francisco’s most desirable neighborhoods. However, new development 

within the tony enclave has traditionally been hindered by a lack of available 
real estate and rigorous building restrictions. The singular set of circumstances 

that came together to create The Pacific can easily be described as a superior 

force or chance occurrence. When, after nearly five decades, the University of 

the Pacific opted to move its campus from Pacific Heights to South of Market, 
the visionary team at Trumark Urban and Handel Architects embraced the 

once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

With over 250,000 square feet of space to be re-purposed from its previous 

incarnation as a less-than-stellar example of Brutalist architecture and the site 

of the University of the Pacific campus, The Pacific was approached by Handel

Row Houses at The Pacific.


Everyone on the team—development, construction, architecture, interiors, 

sales, marketing, branding, landscape—knew that they had to reach deep 
and push beyond any standards putting both skill and heart in their work. 

Never answering ‘no’, always trying to find a way to make it better, more 

awe-inspiring. With an unparalleled opportunity, the Pacific team has crushed 

expectations changed the way luxury is viewed in San Francisco and breaking 
price ceilings with upwards of $3,750 / sq. ft.
