This incredible modern loft space is located in the converted Oriental Warehouse, considered to be the most desirable loft building in San Francisco, California. The historical brick and timber structure dates back to 1867. According to Noe Hill, “It is all that remains of theย Pacific Mail Steamship Co., a firm that was the first to establish regular mail, passenger and trade service between the U.S. and the Orient.
“The building played a central role as the primary storage and distribution point for imports of tea, rice and silk from Asia and was designated a landmark by the city of San Francisco in 1977.” In 1996, the warehouse was converted into 66 residential live-work loft spaces byย Edmonds + Lee Architects. This allowed the opportunity for homeowners to purchase spacious, open concept loftsย characterized byย the original timbers and illuminated by natural light.
