Transformed By the Boom: Dogpatch Is Now Firmly On the Map

Transformed By the Boom: Dogpatch Is Now Firmly On the Map

by | Jun 6, 2015 | Business, Neighborhood, Neighborhoods, Potrero Hill/Dogpatch, San Francisco Real Estate |

San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood wasn’t always a trendy, happening neighborhood. Chances are, until recently, most San Francisco residents wouldn’t have been able to point it out on the map. But beginning in the 1990s, developers began in earnest, transforming the neighborhood’s former industrial space into housing and commercial space. In fact, according to a recent report from the San Francisco Planning Department, more industrial space is being converted to housing in the Dogpatch than in any other neighborhood in the city. This rapid evolution has put Dogpatch squarely on the map. It’s now a favorite up-and-coming neighborhood, or as Huffington Post called it in 2013, “San Francisco’s newest indie neighborhood.” That rising popularity makes sense. Not only has the Dogpatch added loads of housing since the Dot Com boom, now trendy cafes, off-beat shops, and pop-up farmers markets are sprouting up on every corner. The rate of develop doesn’t seem likely to slow any time soon either. At least five condo buildings are set to rise in the next 18 months, the mega development at Pier 70 is hoping to break ground in 2017, and many of the neighborhood’s historic properties are being slated for conversion to lofts and upscale condos. Simply put, the up-and-coming Dogpatch is coming into its own. A Changing Landscape Dogpatch wasn’t much of a neighborhood prior to the 1990s. There were few residents, and the neighborhood was mostly home to warehouses and industrial facilities. Until recently, that gritty, industrial past was still visible, but with the recent spate of development, Dogpatch has mostly shed its working-class roots. This rapid change is causing property values...
Along with New Condos, Specialty Grocers and New Restaurants Go Up

Along with New Condos, Specialty Grocers and New Restaurants Go Up

Specialty Grocers and New Restaurants This year, is going to be a banner year for new restaurants and specialty grocers in San Francisco. Many set are set to open in 2014 and they complement San Francisco booming residential developments in Mid-Market, Mission Bay and the areas around Upper Market/Castro. In Mission Bay, for instance, residents are welcoming a new 10,000-square-foot specialty food marketplace called Market Hall. It’s one of the first such grocers to open in the rapidly developing neighborhood, and it won’t be your average grocery store. Instead, Market Hall, which may be open as early as Labor Day, will be much more like San Francisco’s Ferry Building, with local and craft food vendors selling fresh produce, seafood and meat. The “specialty foods emporium” will also feature wine and beer for sale, as well as other local wares. Though the neighborhood is still developing, there are already many sources of great food in Mission Bay. For instance, the Mission Bay Farmer’s Market at UCSF, which is held every Wednesday year-round, has been a smashing success in the neighborhood, with regional food vendors selling fresh, locally-sourced produce, meat, cheese and seafood. Market Place Concept Coming to Twitter HQ It seems the Ferry Building-style concept, like that at Market Hall, is catching on around The City, as well. Market Square, which will be located on the ground floor of Twitter’s Mid-Market headquarters, is opening this fall as well, and many SF foodies are eying the development. The owners of Small Foods, a SoMa-based food outlet, have planned a 22,000-square-foot food emporium called The Market, and the concept will be very...

Fall is Upon Us: It’s a “perfect storm” for buyers of real estate

by Gary Belk After a busy 3 quarters of rising prices, bidding wars and limited inventory the traditionally calmer 4th quarter has arrived. During autumn our market tends to be a bit slower paced and easier for buyers to navigate.  If you are in the market, you are in luck for two reasons: First, many buyers are distracted by the start of school, the end of summer and the coming holidays.  Second, a seller with their property on the market at this time of year is a motivated seller. This is the time of year we see many relocation’s, probate and distressed properties on the market because they need to sell.  We also have a few properties that were overpriced in the summer and now the sellers are starting to be realistic.  All of these factors combined make for the ‘perfect storm’ buyers.  So grab your all weather gear and give me a call! Here is a selection of some of my favorite properties: Great property for Land bank Land banking is buying a property for the future development of the land.  This property is a perfect example.  It is located on an RH-2 lot (can be up to 2 units).  Hold this property for 10 years and you’ll be sitting on a gold mine.  In the meantime rent the house and pay the mortgage. Perfect home to update This home is located in popular Noe Valley.  It has un-permitted space on the ground floor and needs cosmetic upgrades.  With these issues remedied you have a great family home for a great price in Noe.
