In the wild world of San Francisco real estate, another jaw-dropping mansion just changed hands, proving that tech money continues to reshape our city’s landscape.
A Legacy of Luxury
The three-story mansion on Billionaire’s Row, originally built in 1928 by legendary architect Arthur Brown Jr. - the genius behind City Hall and the War Memorial Opera House - was part of the estate of Brooks Walker Jr., a prominent business figure who spent over 50 years calling this property home.
The AI Economy’s Real Estate Explosion
The sale is yet another symptom of the tech-driven economic tsunami sweeping through San Francisco. With AI companies minting millionaires faster than you can say “machine learning”, newly wealthy tech employees are transforming the city’s housing market into their personal playground.
Record-Breaking Sales
While this mansion’s sale is impressive, it still hasn’t toppled the current record held by Laurene Powell Jobs, who dropped a cool $71 million on a nearby property last year. Clearly, in San Francisco, “affordable housing” is just a mythical concept at this point.
As the city continues to be a playground for the ultra-wealthy, one thing remains certain: San Francisco’s real estate market is anything but boring.
