THE
CLOCK TOWER BUILDING
The Clock Tower, a San Francisco landmark, once home to the Schmidt Lithography
Company, has been converted into 127 live/work spaces in the heart of
the South of Market Historical District. The original brick-and-timber
plant was built by Max Schmidt in 1907 for the Max Schmidt Lithography
Company, a printing firm that designed and produced the classic California
fruit box labels and expanded to include a six-story concrete building.
On the site where artists and printers once produced classic California
Fruit Box labels and posters for the Panama Pacific International Exposition,
a new generation of entrepreneurs and loft lovers can now live and work.
Renovated in 1992, the redesign of the Clock Tower unifies 3 adjoining
buildings into one dramatic environment featuring a lush landscaped central
courtyard and four floors of deeded parking. The average loft size is
over 1200 square feet, with lofts ranging between 600 and 4000 square
feet. All units feature completed kitchens and bathrooms. Two elevators
and a dramatic stairway lead to the light-filled lofts. The building's
interior and many of the individual units feature brick walls and timber
columns, reminiscent of lofts in Paris and New York. Others offer powerful
concrete columns and sweeping expanses. The ceilings are 12 to 20 feet
in height, and in many units, timber beams crisscross high above. Sunlight
pours into lofts through large industrial windows, skylights and light
courts.Kitchens feature maple cabinets and Jenn-Air appliances, and bathrooms
have tile floors, unique fixtures and colored concrete countertops. Many
lofts feature exciting bay, city and bridge views.

The Jackson Brewery holds a special place in San Francisco commercial and architectural history. Founded in the 1850's, the brewery began operations in these new quarters in 1912. This remarkable building was designed by James T. Ludlow in the Romanesque Revival style popular at the turn of the century. Prohibition closed the brewery and it was never again used for its original purpose. Now it will share once again its rich tradition and grace with a few fortunate owners as their living and work space. The centerpiece tower building has been completely renovated (including a full seismic upgrade) into seven stunning live/work condominiums. Designed by the award-wining architectural firm Siegel & Strain, each unit takes advantage of expansive city views and the unique interior spaces of the original brewery. The units have hardwood floors, maple cabinetry, and high quality finishes throughout.
650 Second Street is a historic reinforced concrete structure originally built in 1923 as a B.F. Goodrich tire warehouse. After prohibition, it was purchased by Seagrams Distillers and was used as their distribution warehouse and corporate office. In 1959 the building was purchased by George Lithograph Company and became their corporate headquarters and printing plant, remaining so until they relocated their offices in 1995. The original Art Deco style lobby was carefully restored as were the large industrial windows and mushroom-capped concrete pillars. Ideally located in SOMA, 650 Second Street Lofts are just a short walk to MUNI and South Beach, and only one block from South Park. 650 Second Street Lofts are reminiscent of New York loft living. Lofts are located on five floors, five lofts per floor, with parking and lobby area on the first floor and a common roof deck with city views.

South Park was created in 1854 by Englishman, George Gordon in an attempt to recreate a London residential block. For several years it was a very stylish address, inhabited by many transplanted Southerners. South Park runs parallel to, and takes its name from, the park located south of the prevailing center of town. The South Park lofts have a stucco exterior reminiscent of the South West, although the developer has dubbed them Contemporary Mediterranean. This is a ground up (built from the ground up) project in the heart of the South Park. The architect for the project was Ramon Zambrano. The lofts feature 16 foot ceilings, park, courtyard and City Views, deeded parking and storage for each unit.
