142 New Homes Looking for Owners

Model Homes Open at Former Esprit de Corp. Headquarters in San Francisco Dogpatch

Back when I was in college and brought a girlfriend home to meet the parents, inevitably she’d want to take a trip to the Esprit Outlet in the City, the only one in the country.

Today, the first two model homes, at what was once the Esprit Clothing headquarters and outlet store, open their doors for previews to the public.

The Esprit outlet has turned into new home development.

According to the site, the new Esprit Park is all about being green and sustainable.

"Homes on Esprit Park have been designed and constructed on the philosophy of building community by optimizing opportunities with design excellence as a standard," says Loring Sagan, principal of design for Build Inc. "The homes integrate the historic character of existing materials with new, modern functionality while engaging environmentally thoughtful and sustainable measures. Some of these are recycling preexisting materials back into the design, such as retaining brick walls and timber beams of the 100-year-old building and installing tankless water heaters and radiant floor heating systems, along with insulated windows."

Prices range from the low $600,000s to $1,595,000. Already 21 homes of the 142 homes in the development are under contract with a three percent nonrefundable deposit.
