What are SoMa loft conversions?

Western SoMa's converted warehouse and factory buildings offer high ceilings, open floor plans, exposed brick and timber, and the industrial bones of buildings that served the city's manufacturing economy before tech arrived. These live-work lofts occupy a price tier below South Beach high-rises while offering spatial generosity and character that new construction towers cannot replicate. They are concentrated around Folsom and Howard Streets between 7th and 10th.
