The San Francisco Ballet<\/a> is offloading a piece of its institutional history, listing a 15-bedroom Pacific Heights property<\/a> for $6.5 million as the company consolidates its residential holdings.<\/p>\n

The Edwardian-era building at 3016 Jackson St. has served as a cornerstone of the Ballet’s international recruitment efforts for decades. Originally built in 1909 as a triplex, the building was granted a rare conditional use permit in the late 1980s to operate as group housing, an entitlement almost nonexistent in the surrounding residential enclave.<\/p>\n

The Ballet originally purchased the site to house visiting dancers as the company’s global profile expanded. More recently, the building has been leased as a dormitory for Westmont College<\/a>, a Christian liberal arts college based in Santa Barbara County.<\/p>\n

With the college no longer requiring the space and the Ballet securing a larger facility to accommodate its growing roster, the property was officially brought to market late last month.<\/p>\n

“The Ballet outgrew the site as they bring in more dancers than the site can accommodate,” Scott Whelan, the Compass agent representing the seller, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The listing arrives during a complicated season for the Ballet. Under Artistic Director Tamara Rojo, the company has faced internal and external pressure over a scheduled engagement at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., that it ultimately canceled<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whelan added that in the competitive Pacific Heights market, the Jackson Street property is being viewed as a “unicorn” asset, as neighboring homes on the block routinely sell for more than $20 million.<\/p>\n

This 12-bathroom structure maintains a 30-person occupancy limit and transient housing status.<\/p>\n

“I doubt many people on the block know this property is not a residential dwelling,” Whelan said. “This property stands out because it offers a rare glimpse into a bygone housing model in one of San Francisco’s most prestigious neighborhoods. It’s something you simply don’t see come to the market often.”<\/p>\n

Because of its zoning status and the lot’s 40-foot height limit, the site is expected to attract developers looking to utilize state housing laws to convert the dormitory into luxury condominiums.<\/p>\n

The three-story building includes communal dining areas, a den and a backyard patio.<\/p>\n
