Experience urban loft living in San Francisco's most iconic historic warehouse conversion at Esprit Park. Located at 877 Indiana Street and 900 Minnesota Street in San Francisco's vibrant Dogpatch neighborhood (94107), this award-winning brick and timber loft community combines industrial heritage with modern luxury in 147 stunning residences.
Built in 1906 as the Schilling Wine Cellars warehouse, Esprit Park's brick and timber buildings later became the world-renowned headquarters of Esprit de Corp clothing company founded by Susie Tompkins Buell and Doug Tompkins. This sprawling warehouse complex occupies an entire city block and survived the 1906 earthquake, making it one of San Francisco's most significant historic buildings.
The Esprit Park condominium conversion was completed in 2008, transforming the century-old industrial buildings into 147 modern loft-style condos while preserving the original exposed brick facades, timber framing, and authentic warehouse character. The development was structurally reinforced in 2007 with steel framing throughout while incorporating salvaged timbers, trusses, and historic materials into the new construction.
Designed by Jon Worden Architects and developed by Build Inc., the project seamlessly blends historic preservation with contemporary design, featuring high ceilings, tall windows, exposed brick partition walls, and industrial loft aesthetics. The community includes both converted warehouse units and new steel-framed buildings constructed within the original footprint.
Esprit Park offers 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom lofts and condos with over 25 different floor plans ranging from approximately 800 square feet to nearly 3,000 square feet. Residences feature hardwood flooring, radiant heating, gourmet kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, in-unit washer/dryer, private decks or patios, walk-in closets, and expansive windows with abundant natural light.
The brick and timber units showcase authentic warehouse details including exposed beams, high loft-style ceilings, and original architectural elements that create distinctive living spaces with character and warmth.
Esprit Park residents enjoy exceptional building amenities including a fitness center/gym, theater/media screening room, community clubhouse, two beautifully landscaped interior courtyards with water features and outdoor seating, secured underground parking garage with storage units available, weekday concierge service, package room, bike parking, Google Fiber high-speed internet, Laundry Locker dry cleaning service, gated/security entry, and professional on-site management.
The development also includes 6,500 square feet of ground-floor commercial/office space facing the adjacent Esprit Park public green space.
