The Wilson is a historic San Francisco landmark, originally built in 1904 and one of the few buildings to survive the devastating 1906 earthquake. Today, it has been thoughtfully reimagined for modern city living while preserving the architectural character that makes it so unique. Behind its beautifully restored ornate terra cotta facade, The Wilson underwent a comprehensive renovation, transforming the building into 67 boutique apartments, comprised of studios, one, and two bedroom apartments and lofts, complemented by a curated collection of resident amenities.
Each residence features bright, open floor plans, premium finishes, and thoughtfully designed interiors that seamlessly blend historic charm with contemporary style. Residents also enjoy a full-service lifestyle with modern conveniences and exceptional on-site amenities. Ideally located in the heart of SoMa, one of San Francisco's most dynamic live-work-play neighborhoods, The Wilson is just moments from world-class dining, shopping, entertainment, public transportation, and the city's leading technology employers. It offers the perfect balance of rich history, sophisticated design, and modern urban living.
