Delancey because of location — that Bryant Building is 10 ft away from being underneath the Bay Bridge.
Love the breakfast bar in the Delancey street loft and overall design. Wish they had pictures of the bathroom, hope it’s on par with the rest of the pad. Not impressed with the Bryant street loft but do like the windows.
355 Bryant gets my vote!
Love Love love this building.
The cieling height is dreamy.
Room for tall sculptures!
Bryant is 300sqsft bigger. At that price, go for size, stylistically they are both nice.
Judging only from the above pics, I think delancy is the prettier of the two girls at the bar.
I like the Delancey loft better. I think it’s in a better location and while I’m a fan of some exposed timber, I’m not a fan of the Bryant loft’s exposed timber ceiling, even if it does make it look more like an authentic loft environment.
I do like both of these lofts for their similarities and differences.
As a CA native, my only complaint about most lofts is that I HAVE to have some outdoor space. Weather and opportunity are the reasons I was born here instead of Illinois (insert state or area of your choice). If you were’t born here, that is one of the reasons (besides your job) why you like living here.
I agree with RSVP. They both offer something different, but both are really nice.
A related question would be “For $850k, what would you buy – one of these lofts or something else [specific]?”
I wanna be as far from I-80 as possible…
Another similar loft at the same price point:

I like the Clock Tower loft, but the neighborhood is sketchy. I used to walk past this building on the way to work every day. A couple of years ago I literally had to step over a dead body on the Clock Tower Building sidewalk (a homeless guy–cops were on the scene waiting for an ambulance).
All that space, high prices, and only 1 bedroom?
I will never see the appeal of these lofts.
@sunnyvalesteve
You walked *over* a dead body? That’s pretty cold. You could have at least walked around him…
@synnyvalesteve – guess that’s why you live in Sunnyvale …
