Experience contemporary urban living at 18th and Arkansas, an award-winning residential development designed by acclaimed architect David Baker in San Francisco's vibrant Potrero Hill neighborhood. This distinctive three-story condominium community combines market-rate lofts, artist live-work spaces, and thoughtfully designed amenities in one of the city's most sought-after locations.
Designed by David Baker Architects, the 18th and Arkansas development represents innovative urban design on a reclaimed site featuring a historic abandoned railroad tunnel. The project steps down the steep slope of Potrero Hill, creating a unique architectural experience that blends industrial-style lofts with residential townhouses. The development includes the 18th & Arkansas Lofts offering 30 market-rate industrial-style loft units, plus the adjacent G2 Lofts providing 29 below-market-rate live-work loft units for artists, gallery spaces, studio areas, and a 99-seat experimental theater.
The building wraps around a large terraced courtyard featuring landscaped gardens, pathways, decks, and broad downtown San Francisco city views. Along 18th Street, walk-up loft buildings with individual garages step down the slope, while Arkansas Street features walk-up apartments with stoops and shared garages. A mid-block portal provides pedestrian access to the rear garden and townhouses overlooking the downhill edge of the site.
Units at 18th and Arkansas feature dramatic two-level layouts with vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows framing downtown views, hardwood flooring, renovated kitchens with modern appliances, private balconies and walkout decks, master bedroom suites, central heating and air conditioning, and in-unit laundry. Many residences offer spectacular San Francisco skyline views and generous outdoor entertaining spaces.
The development provides secured garage parking, beautifully maintained terraced gardens and courtyards, private patios and balconies, storage units, and integration with the vibrant artist community at G2 Lofts next to Goodman Gallery. The community features shared green spaces tucked into the hillside, creating a sheltered yet public urban garden environment.
Located at the corner of 18th Street and Arkansas Street in prime north slope Potrero Hill, 18th and Arkansas places residents steps from some of San Francisco's best dining, shopping, and entertainment. The development is just blocks from Whole Foods Market at 450 Rhode Island Street, offering organic groceries, a full-service deli, bakery, beer bar, and garage parking.
