Ye Olde San Francisco: Adaptive Reuse at 25 Hotaling

The nine units at 25 Hotaling represent a completely different take on how to live Downtown then you will typically see me writing about. Located in Jackson Square, this former warehouse built sometime in the 1850's has been thoughtfully updated into duplex and flat style condominiums. With no on-site parking available and fairly modest square footage, these units are ideal pied a terres for financial district types who want to walk to the office and don't require a full service environment.

My favorite part of the development is the setting: The scale of the neighborhood is true to the mid nineteenth century, human sized streets and wonderful old buildings with heavy Italianate moldings and trims. Without trying to be cliche, it feels like an old European quarter with stylish bars and restaurants nestled among art and design shops.

If you haven't strolled though Jackson Square, I highly recommend it. Its a lot cleaner and fancier than it was in the 1850's and its probably the best place in San Francisco to get a sense of what the city was like when it was still called Yerba Buena.

If you would like to schedule a tour at 25 Hotaling, drop me line. One olde timey whiskey, included.
