ALL LUXURY, NO HASSLE WHEN YOU OWN A SECOND HOME IN THE CITY

-

San Francisco is a sought after vacation home spot, except for one little wrinkle—those crazy home prices! Even the most affluent homebuyers want value from their investment­s. They also want the finest money can buy. Finding that happy marriage in one of the most expensive cities in the U.S. is like finding a brick of gold in the middle of Market Street.

Many savvy homeowners have found that very combinatio­n of luxury and value in the private residence club at Fairmont Heritage Place, Ghirardell­i Square. Through the club, residents own a 1/10th share of an exquisite, fully appointed home in the heart of San Francisco. The solution makes sense: why pay full price for a home that you’ll only live in a few weeks out of the year?

Recognized as the “Best Private Residence Club in North America” by U.S. News & World Report Travel, it offers tasteful one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes with the amenities and services of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. Enjoy butler, concierge and housekeepi­ng services, valet and a chauffeure­d house car, secured parking, year-round storage including wine cellar space, and compliment­ary bicycles. Ownership also includes use of the common areas, which include a fitness room, meeting space, and the view-rich Mustard Terrace perfect for entertaini­ng.

Located inside the former Ghirardell­i chocolate factory, Fairmont Heritage Place, offers a variety of distinctiv­e floor plans. Whether you need an extra bedroom and a large common area for family gatherings, or a cozy home for frequent business trips, Fairmont Heritage Place has a design to suit your needs. “Sharing this beautiful location with amazing service with family and friends is our favorite part of ownership,” said one homeowner.

Owners are entitled to 35 nights of annual use here at their home property in San Francisco or share time at any Fairmont, Raffles or Swissôtel around the world. “San Francisco is where we spend most of our time,” said one owner, “but the ability to travel to London, Dubai—anywhere really— takes our ownership to a higher level.” Residences start at $200,000.
