The dotcom era was the heyday for historic building conversions in San Francisco, especially in the SoMa / South Beach area where manufacturing and shipping once necessitated warehouse construction. This upper floor 1-bed/1-bath/1021sqft condo is in The Embarcadero Lofts which was built circa 1937 as headquarters for the Coffin-Redington drug company. The building was converted to residences in 1998 and subsequently placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Soaring 11′ ceilings and industrial oversized windows are just a couple of original features preserved alongside dramatic formed concrete. The location is A++ just 1.5 blocks to the Transbay Terminal and Salesforce Park, 3 blocks to the Embarcadero, and surrounded by coffeeshops and award-winning restaurants. This condo is being shown now to pre-approved buyers by appointment only: contact us.

marketThis historic North Beach Malt House is a San Francisco landmark building constructed circa 1908 by Bauer & Schweitzer Malting Company. It was the last barrel malting factory west of the Mississippi and provided malt to Anchor Brewing Company until the 1960s. The original structure at 445 Francisco was converted to residences and joined by three adjacent modern buildings in 2001. While this 2-bed/2-bath/1063sqft unit at 530 Chestnut is in one of those modern buildings, its exposed concrete and industrial-style windows are a nod to the site’s past. The development has some notable original features including two grain silos and roasting drums in the common area courtyard. This home is being shown now to pre-approved buyers by appointment only: contact us.

Radiant heat, hardwood flooring, European cabinetry, Italian Marble countertops, Miele appliances, video intercom system… these homes have all the bells and whistles you’d expect in new construction today. The development’s location is around the corner from the Mission/24th Street BART station and a stone’s throw to all the good eats and amenities of the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District. There are 1- and 3-bedroom units available in the new construction part of the building. All available units are being shown now to pre-approved buyers by appointment only: contact us.
