988 Harrison is the newest building in this series and the only one with no prior year to measure against. Sixteen condominiums closed between January 1 and October 15, 2026, on $13,042,650 of volume. The building's first recorded closing is dated December 17, 2025, so the six 2025 closings in the year-by-year table are the developer's first deliveries and the 2026 figures are the rest of the sellout plus the first resales. There is no same-window 2025 line to draw.

The median sale is $858,325 and the median price per square foot is $1,099. The six December closings ran at $1,111 a foot, so the 2026 figure sits 1 percent under them. Two-bedrooms carried the year: nine of the 16 closings, at a median of $899,000 and $1,168 a foot. The seven one-bedrooms went at a median of $599,000 and $1,077 a foot. The low sale, #801, is a 570-square-foot one-bedroom at $589,000 on March 25.

The high sale of the year is #810 at $1,150,000 on October 2, into contract in 15 days. #807 closed at $1,025,000 on February 2 after 40 days. The median listed sale went into contract in 12 days, and eight of the 16 went inside two weeks, the highest count in this series. No unit that closed in 2026 has a prior recorded sale in the building, so there is no paired-resale table this year; that table starts in 2027.

Five transfers in the record fall under the $300,000 line and are left out of every median above. The building carries 12 below-market-rate units under the city's inclusionary program, and a deed-restricted price says nothing about the market-rate floors (SF YIMBY).

2026 so far, against the same window in 2025

The corner of Sixth and Harrison

988 Harrison sits on the northeast corner of Sixth and Harrison, with its residential entrance addressed 395 Sixth Street and two walk-up units on Clara Alley at the back. The lot was a long-shuttered service station; the underground tanks came out before the first permit, and the building that replaced them is eight stories and 90 units by developer J.S. Sullivan, with a 24-car garage, 90 bike spaces and a rooftop deck (SF YIMBY; Bisnow). Across Sixth Street is the EndUp at 401 Sixth, the after-hours club that opened in 1973 and has run a Sunday tea dance since 1979, now inside the Leather and LGBTQ Cultural District (Wikipedia).

The street itself changed while the building was under construction. The SFMTA's Sixth Street Pedestrian Safety Project cut the street from four lanes to three, widened both sidewalks and added bulb-outs at every intersection; the ribbon was cut on September 26, 2025 (SFMTA). One block north, the Folsom Streetscape Project, a two-way protected bikeway from Second to Eleventh, is scheduled for substantial completion in October 2026 (SF Planning). The nearest large AI lease is Harvey's 150,000 square feet at 201 Third Street, a five-block walk northeast, and the Anthropic buildings on Howard begin at Second Street (CoStar).

The timetable that every South of Market building now sits inside is the public-offering calendar. Anthropic filed a confidential draft registration with the SEC on June 1, 2026, a week after a funding round that set its valuation at $965 billion (TechCrunch). As of this week the Standard reports the Anthropic listing has been pushed to November, after the midterms, that OpenAI's has moved to 2027, and that Anthropic is weighing a lockup longer than the usual six months (SF Standard). The same piece carries a Redfin estimate that current and former OpenAI and Anthropic employees could in theory buy close to a third of the metro area's homes with their proceeds, and the counter-argument from UC Berkeley's Enrico Moretti and the Bay Area Council's Jeff Bellisario that the money is concentrated in fewer hands than past booms and that these firms create fewer jobs per dollar because so much goes to data centers rather than headcount. The record in this report ends on October 15. None of it reflects a single share that has been sold.

Two citywide facts frame every building figure here. First, the office recovery is lopsided: CBRE put Q3 2026 vacancy at 27.7 percent citywide, down 6.6 points in a year, but Avison Young splits that into roughly 12 percent for Class A and north of 31 percent for Class B, and a Presidio Bay executive told Bisnow the headline number is misleading for that reason (Bisnow). Second, the condo market is still digging out: the Chronicle's May analysis found that only eight Bay Area ZIP codes showed inflation-adjusted condo gains over the year, all of them in San Francisco, and that Noe Valley's typical condo remained close to $400,000 below its 2019 level in real terms (SF Chronicle).

How this was counted

Two records feed this review. The MLS layer is one row per listing and carries days on market and square footage. The county layer reaches back further and catches transfers that never listed, but records the same closing once per data source, so the two were merged on unit, date and price and each closing kept once. Below-market-rate units and transfers under $300,000 are listed but excluded from every median. "Same window" means January 1 to October 15 of each year. Nothing here is a valuation of any unit, and nothing here is advice.
