Property Overview
The Forderer Cornice Works is an assemblage of four two-story buildings interconnected by small common areas on one property. Located at 2012 16th Street, 269 Potrero Avenue, 255 Potrero Avenue, and 248-260 Utah Street, each building could be a standalone headquarters or multi-tenant opportunity, as each has a private entrance. Forderer purchased the property in 1906 and operated at the Forderer Cornice Works until 1999. The buildings have been seismically updated, in addition to interior renovations in 2000, 2013, 2020 and 2023. The Forderer Cornice Works is where many groundbreaking companies started; long-term tenants at the campus have included Waymo, Meka Robotics, Google, Napster, Lunar Design, McKinsey, Brian Gross Gallery, and Hosfelt Gallery. Within 5 blocks there are 5 public parking lots with a combined 1000+ spaces. Additionally, there is an abundance of street parking on Utah Street between Alameda and 17th Street. An anchor to the local art community, The Forderer Cornice Works is strategically positioned in the center of the Design District. Commuting is a breeze for tenants; the city has designated both 16th Street and Potrero Avenue as express transit corridors and thus invested heavily in the transit infrastructure. All the freeways have nearby entrances from the property, and both BART and Caltrain are within walking distance. For best-in-class features, join the diverse tenant base, and continue the history of innovation at The Forderer Cornice Works.
