Office Property For Sale

Rare San Francisco gem with vertical development opportunity! Desirable location on hard corner just steps from SoMa District and “the Hub.” There is international appeal for this historic building and new owners have the opportunity to develop additional multifamily on top of 75% of the existing retail/office space. Preliminary planning with San Francisco city officials have indicated it would encourage the addition of residential units. Originally built to be the headquarters of a purveyor of fine pianos, the design of the building is as exquisite as the instruments it once held - even the building’s exterior features fanciful piano keyboard molding. Many upgrades contribute to the building’s current modern take - preserved brick walls and 16-foot ceilings on the third floor create a loft space perfect for corporate meetings or small venue for entertaining and get-togethers. Also, within walking distance is the newly constructed SF Jazz Center, the world famous Davies Symphony Hall, SF Ballet, the War Memorial Opera House, Bill Graham Civic Auditorium and the Orpheum Theater. Across the street is the exclusive French American and Chinese American School and the San Francisco Conservatory of music.
