49 South Van Ness

49 South Van Ness in San Francisco is a landmark civic project that brings together multiple city departments—including Planning, Public Works, and Permitting—into one modern, 16-story, 530,000-square-foot facility. Designed to streamline city services and foster collaboration, the building also houses the San Francisco Permit Center, creating a centralized hub for public engagement.

Priority Architectural Graphics was a key signage partner on this complex project, working closely with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Charles Pankow Builders. Our team was a proud local partner to the construction team.  Our scope included exterior identity signage that reflects the city’s modern vision, along with fully code-compliant interior signage, life safety signage, and intuitive wayfinding systems throughout the space. Priority’s local expertise, attention to detail, and proactive coordination with city agencies helped ensure a smooth process from design through installation. Their contribution played a vital role in the project’s overall success, enhancing both functionality and the user experience in this prominent civic space.
