Located at Fourth and Folsom Streets, Shipley Square benefits from its central location near San Francisco's Yerba Buena Gardens. Inspired by the courtyard apartment houses of Paris, the project was designed, entitled and constructed as a five-story residential apartment building with ground floor retail. The residential units surround an expansive landscaped courtyard above below-grade parking. This unique design provides spacious and secure housing in a dense urban setting. Following completion, the apartments were converted to for-sale residential condominiums which were entirely sold out within 12 months.
