1036 Sir Francis Drake Blvd

The property is one of the most visible and well-located office buildings in Kentfield, prominently positioned along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard just off the intersection with College Avenue. Sir Francis Drake serves as the main artery through Ross Valley and along the daily commute path to and from some of Marin County’s most affluent neighborhoods. Situated on a corner lot with strong street frontage, the building offers exceptional signage visibility to a high traffic count. The location provides easy access to Highway 101—less than two miles away—and convenient connections to all points north, south, east, and west. Located in the unincorporated community of Kentfield in Central Marin County, the property sits among some of the Bay Area’s most desirable residential enclaves, including Kent Woodlands and the Town of Ross. Together, these communities represent one of the wealthiest residential concentrations in the country, with a combined population of over 8,000. Outside the main thoroughfares, the surrounding area is almost entirely residential, creating a quiet, high-income demographic ideal for professional and lifestyle-oriented services. The two principal thoroughfares—Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and College Avenue—host a select mix of uses anchored by the College of Marin, Woodlands Market, professional offices, and Kent Middle School. The College of Marin campus, with an enrollment of approximately 6,000 students, has benefited from more than $600 million in recent capital improvements under County Bond Measures C and B. The nearby Woodlands Shopping Center, anchored by the 22,892-square-foot Woodlands Market, provides a local retail destination complemented by restaurants, boutique shops, and service providers. Many neighboring commercial buildings were originally developed as medical offices in the 1950s–1970s to serve physicians affiliated with the former Ross General Hospital (closed in 1999 and redeveloped into luxury townhomes). Today, these buildings are occupied by medical and wellness professionals—psychotherapists, orthodontists, dentists, and cosmetologists—making the neighborhood one of Marin’s premier destinations for health and personal services.This two-story office building occupies one of the most prominent corners in Kentfield, offering exceptional visibility, frontage, and access. The property’s OP/CP Commercial Mixed-Use zoning allows for a broad range of future uses—including residential, office, or mixed-use redevelopment—making it ideal for investors and developers seeking to reposition or reimagine a legacy Marin asset. Situated on a flat ±0.57-acre site at the intersection of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Butterfly Lane, the property benefits from high daily traffic counts, strong demographics, and proximity to Kent Woodlands, Ross, and the College of Marin. With limited available land in Central Marin, this offering represents a rare infill opportunity to unlock value through redevelopment, adaptive reuse, or re-tenanting.
