Brick & Timber Collective Strikes Gold by Reviving Historic San Francisco Buildings into High-End Office Space

Inside what is considered San Francisco’s oldest warehouse, construction crews are busy adding new floors, walls, staircases and a basement speakeasy to transform the building into a modern office space.

With the right interior, the 16,000-square-foot building, at 855 Front St., could attract rents similar to high-end Class A office space in San Francisco, said Jesse Feldman, part of a two-person team that runs Brick & Timber Collective.

The 855 Front building, registered as a San Francisco Landmark, is known as Gibb-Sanborn Warehouse and once housed the Trinidad Bean and Elevator Co. Brick & Timber brought in Page & Turnbull, SOM and Kisbye Design to reimagine the interior. Contractor Source Planning and Construction plans to wrap up the project in July.
