Offering a stellar location, access to transit, an architectural personality and excellent dining options, the property is currently 98 percent leased, and it won the Gold award for Best Amenities at the 2024 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/cpe-announces-the-2024-influence-awards-winners\/\">CPE Influence Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/quality-is-the-future-of-office-says-kbs-executive\/\">flight to quality<\/a> is very real, and owners who embrace and invest in this higher standard have an opportunity to capture demand,\u201d said Shawn McGarry, executive vice president of Northern California Office Operations for Hudson Pacific Properties, which co-owns the property with Allianz Real Estate.<br>The property has also helped the city\u2019s foot traffic return to pre-pandemic levels. \u201cWe know that by activating a marquee property like the Ferry Building, we are building <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-san-franciscos-almost-back\/\">meaningful momentum<\/a> that will benefit the entire city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-amenities-steeped-in-history\">Amenities steeped in history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Brand new construction has its benefits, but historic buildings are brimming with personality and architectural details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ferry Building\u2019s story began in 1892, when architect A. Page Brown proposed a Beaux-Arts-style design to replace San Francisco\u2019s modest wooden Ferry House, which was erected in 1875. When the new Ferry Building opened in 1898, it was the city\u2019s transportation focal point, with most commuters and visitors arriving by ferry until the 1930s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the decades though, the Ferry Building faded from prominence as fewer people traveled by water. Eventually, when the Embarcadero Freeway was built, the Ferry Building was cut off from pedestrian traffic and the elevated structure also blocked views of the historic building. But after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the freeway was removed, and the decision was made to renovate the Ferry Building and reintegrate it into city life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The Ferry Building\u2019s success shows amenities are critical to attracting and retaining tenants in today\u2019s competitive market.<\/p>\n<cite>\u2014Shawn McGarry, Executive Vice President, Northern California Office Operations, Hudson Pacific Properties<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The four-year $100 million restoration project\u2014which began in 1998\u2014included seismic and structural upgrades, the recreation of the building\u2019s skylight and the restoration of many architectural features.<br>A multifaceted team of developers, designers, preservationists and financial investors led by developer Wilson Meany Sullivan won the competition with a public-private collaboration on a mixed-use concept for a world-class food marketplace and premier office space above.

Outside, canopy structures with new lighting and moveable overhead panels will provide shade, weather protection, heating and flexible seating for year-round outdoor dining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plans also call for the ferry plaza to be repaired and resurfaced to encourage long-term growth in ferry service as a transit solution. Additionally, new electrical systems, lighting and additional outdoor seating will allow for additional public programming on the ferry plaza all week long.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHudson Pacific is in constant dialog with the Port of San Francisco to ensure the Ferry Building remains a vibrant part of the waterfront and leads the way on the city\u2019s broader efforts for revitalization,\u201d shared Connors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, working within the context of a historic landmark presents multiple unique challenges. Every enhancement has to honor the building\u2019s architectural integrity while meeting modern tenant and community expectations, according to Connors. This requires close coordination with preservation experts, city agencies and vendors to ensure everything done at the building is contextually appropriate and functionally valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Ferry Building represents a rare blend of San Francisco\u2019s past and its future,\u201d Connors said. \u201cThese amenities are not simply additions. They are part of an ongoing evolution that ensures the Ferry Building remains an inspiring place to work, visit and gather for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#16a19a33\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/mydigitalpublication.com\/publication\/?i=847247\">Read the June 2025 issue of CPE.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Office tenants at San Francisco\u2019s Ferry Building enjoy a full menu of amenities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":894,"featured_media":1004759238,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21789,1521,21790,21747,51037],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004759205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-awards","category-digital","category-influence-awards","category-office","category-trends"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
