Until Tuesday, 27-year-old Jade Kraus paid $1,700 a month for a one-room Hayes Valley studio she shared with her boyfriend. By Tuesday evening, she was paying almost twice as much to live somewhere that would have been unlikely until very recently — near 10th and Market streets.
But now, as she heads to her $3,000-a-month, one-bedroom apartment, she’ll pass a mural commissioned for the building and then ride a smart elevator up to her apartment in the 24-story tower. If she has any issues with, say, her refrigerator, she can call the building’s concierge or just enter a work order into the building’s app before heading to the courtyard for a swim.
