The condition of the remains means that DNA will have to be used to identify the person.
The warehouse is connected to a man, Bob Tang, who is a person of interest in the disappearance of San Francisco Uber driver Piseth Chhay.
Chhay has not been seen since May 14, according to police.
Tang is also missing and may have fled the U.S. to Cambodia.
Tang's car was found May 25 at a parking lot at San Francisco International Airport. Tang was last seen by his wife on May 22 and reported missing May 24.
Police said Tang and Chhay are family acquaintances.
A fundraising effort, entitled "Support Missing Piseth Chhay," was launched earlier this month to help raise money to support the search effort for Chhay, the husband and father of two last reported seen on Mother's Day. According the search effort flyers, Chhay last was known to have left his San Francisco home at about 2:30 p.m. wearing a light blue T-shirt, blue shorts and a white cap, and driving off in a silver Mercedes GL 550.
Police are working with federal law enforcement officials to find Tang. Tang is thought to be the last person to see Chhay.
