Partial demolition work has started on the vacant warehouse at 901 16th Street in Potrero Hill, San Francisco. The property will soon be built up with a new location for the San Francisco Wholesale Flower Market. 901 16th Street LLC is listed as responsible for the development.
The two-story flower market will yield 216,000 square feet, of which 90,900 square feet are dedicated to 150 parking spaces and 23 bicycles and 125,000 square feet for commercial-industrial use.

The SF Flower Market is one of five grower-owned wholesale flower markets in the United States. The market’s current home, at 640 Brannan Street, on a block bound by Bryant Street, 5th Street, and 6th Street, are expected to be demolished to make way for 610-698 Brannan Street by Kilroy Realty. The proposal will feature over two million square feet of new floor area with offices, retail, and POPOS.
