Golden State Warriors phenom Steph Curry is moving full steam ahead with his plan to transform a squalid commercial building in San Francisco into the headquarters of his burgeoning business empire.

On Thursday, the four-time NBA champion’s business collective, Thirty Ink, unveiled plans and renderings of the new office building that will be going up at 600 20th St. in San Francisco’s up-and-coming Dogpatch neighborhood, as the San Francisco Chronicle reported.  

Curry’s company will knock down the unassuming grey-and-white, two-story structure currently occupying the corner lot and swap it for a 25,000 square-foot, five-story building, which will include a community space on the ground floor.

Thirty Ink, which has a motto of “Elevate the Under,” encompasses eight business ventures and 13 entities related to sports management, lifestyle, media, and philanthropy.

The company’s headquarters are currently situated along Howard Street in San Francisco’s SoMa neighborhood, but not for long.

Tiffany Williams, chief operating officer of Thirty Ink, told the Chronicle that it was decided to move the company headquarters to Dogpatch because of the area’s rich history and its proximity to Chase Center, the home of the Warriors. 

Thirty Ink reportedly bought the mixed-use building, erected in 1972, for $8.5 million last year with big plans in mind.

The building project, helmed by the architectural firm Workshop1, was greenlit by the city last April. Once all the permits are in order, construction reportedly should take approximately 18 months.

As outlined in its proposal submitted to the San Francisco Planning Commission, Thirty Ink’s new business hub will include 9,000 square feet of office space, about 2,680 square feet of lab space, and 3,300 square feet set aside for art activities. On top of that, the fifth floor will house a three-bedroom unit for guest use, along with a solar roof and space for bicycle parking. 

Meanwhile, the ground floor will be designed as an inviting community space where, Williams said, people “can come and feel that Thirty experience.” 

The company COO told the outlet that the impending move to Dogpatch “cements” Thirty Ink’s commitment to remain in San Francisco, even after her boss hangs up his famous No. 30 jersey. 

“Stephen’s career is winding down — he has more years behind him than ahead of him — and we are saying that work doesn’t stop,” Williams told the Chronicle. “We are going to be here and continue working and growing and elevating the under.”

Although the MVP has not voiced his intention to retire just yet, in an interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews in December, Curry admitted that he’s been thinking more and more about his eventual exit from the sport. 

“It’s okay to accept and acknowledge that the end is near,” he said. “But only because it allows you to enjoy what’s happening right now. But I think the more you talk about it and the more you acknowledge it the more it levels up the sense of urgency in the moment now.”

The multistory San Francisco property is only one part of Curry’s multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio.

In 2020, the basketball superstar and his celebrity chef wife, Ayesha Curry, the mother of his four children, snapped up a luxury condo in the San Francisco Four Seasons Residences in the downtown area for about $8 million.

The Currys’ primary residence remains their $31 million mansion in Atherton, CA.

In January 2023, Stephen and Ayesha sent a letter to the mayor of Atherton, expressing their opposition to the development of multifamily affordable housing units overlooking their backyard.

In their missive, the celebrity couple said they had “major concerns in terms of both privacy and safety with three-story townhomes looming directly behind us.” If the project could not be stopped, they pleaded with the town to at least put up taller fencing to shield their property from view, as Almanac reported.  

In the end, the Atherton City Council adopted the controversial housing plan—but with some modifications offering a possible concession to the Currys and other local residents who had voiced their objections to the development, reported the Los Angeles Times.
