Nonetheless, commercial->residential conversions tend to be pretty popular. All those industrial-themed urban lofts in other cities sell/rent just fine
Different converting the 1890s brick 4 story buildings vs the 1970s or 2000s or 2010s office buildings.
Considering the amount of raw engineering ingenuity concentrated in San Francisco, I’m pretty confident they’d be able to figure it out.
Sure but the rent roll would barely cover the AWS bill
In high land value areas demolishing and rebuilding can be a commercially viable alternate to conversions as well.
Has SF really built much in the past 20 years? Comparing what I saw there with old movies it didn’t seem like it.
