Marketing description

The three-story property features three (3) retail units on the ground floor and a 40-unit SRO/hotel above that is master leased to an operator, "Shirley Hotels''. Of the 40 rooms, 21 are SRO units, 7 are SRO with partial baths, 9 are tourist/transient and 3 are for manager use. The SRO units without bathrooms share 3 common area bathrooms. Two of three retail units are occupied by a tuxedo retailer and a foot massage service. The 40-room hotel is currently month-month. A savvy investor may renegotiate the lease or operate the hotel to significantly increase cash flow.

The property is in a central location of the Polk Street commercial corridor in Nob Hill. The street is famous for its historic architecture, Michelin-rated cuisine, and abundant retail amenities. It is an exceptional location for this type of property due to its walkability and easy access to public transit.
