PREMIUM CREATIVE OFFICE BUILDING WITH
AT TRACTIVE CASH FLOW
SIGNIFICANT RECENT CAPITAL INVESTMENT: Current ownership has invested $5.4 million in
substantial building improvements since 2013. These improvements include lobby and façade
renovations, base building upgrades, state-of-the-art tenant improvements, and a seismic retrofit
which put the Property’s SEL and SUL at 10% and 16%, respectively.
FULLY OCCUPIED PROPERTY: 901 Battery Street is 96 percent occupied by a diverse group of tenants
in technology, communications, and architecture that provide attractive cash flow with significant
upside as leases roll to market. With 40 percent of the tenancy rolling by 2018, and in-place tenant
rents approximately 30 percent below market, the opportunity exists to immediately improve the
Property’s yield.
HIGHLY-DESIRABLE CREATIVE IMPROVEMENTS: 901 Battery Street boasts unique features including
ceiling heights ranging from 13’8” all the way up to 15’10” on the fourth floor, large and expansive
windows, and unimpeded views overlooking the San Francisco Bay. With floor plates that average
19,000 square feet, 901 Battery Street is an ideal property for mid-sized technology tenants seeking
creative space.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 9
SIGNIFICANT UPSIDE POTENTIAL
RECONFIGURING THE SECOND FLOOR: The second floor, which has historically been multi-tenant
occupancy, can be reconfigured as a more valuable two-tenant or single-tenant use as all of the in-
place tenants expire by the end of 2018.
PARTIAL LOWER LEVEL CONVERSION: Approximately 7,600 square feet of the lower level space can
be converted to office space by interconnecting the floors via an internal stairwell once Viscira’s lease
expires in 2020. Design concepts have already been completed for this addition.
MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT OF PARKING STRUCTURE: Located in one of San Francisco’s most
desirable neighborhoods, the 4,120 square foot lot at 998 Sansome Street can be redeveloped as
a boutique mixed-use project featuring office, retail, and residential. A feasibility study along with
renderings have been prepared by architect Charles Bloszies.
ENHANCED VALUE FROM ROOF: The opportunity exists for a new owner to enhance the Property with
the addition of a previously approved roof deck that would take advantage of the stunning Bay views.
In addition, 901 Battery Street has the rare ability to mount rooftop dishes which is especially valuable
to media companies.
10 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
HIGHLY-DESIRABLE LOCATION

history and distinct architecture, North Waterfront and Jackson Square are among the most desirable

streetscapes adjacent to the beautiful San Francisco Bay.
DIVERSE TENANT BASE: The North Waterfront and Jackson Square has historically been home to a
diverse tenant base including professional services, large retail companies, and media and advertising.
Increasingly, technology and venture capital firms have been moving into the neighborhood with
notable companies such as Esurance, Intel, Azure Capital Partners, and Seed Change now calling the
submarket home.
READILY ACCESSIBLE TO PUBLIC TRANSIT: The Property is readily accessible to multiple forms of
transportation including MUNI light rail and Golden Gate Transit less than one block away. BART, the
Bay Area’s main commuter rail, and the San Francisco Ferry are both about a 10-minute walk away.

outlook is positive for sustained growth.

Waterfront-Jackson Square submarkets have a consistent history of strong occupancy. In recent months,
the submarket has seen an increase of activity and new leases being signed in the $70 - $80 per square
foot range.
SIGNIFICANT RECENT TENANT ACTIVITY: In the month of March, 2017 alone, leasing velocity surged in San
Francisco with Google taking 180,000 square feet at Rincon Center, Uber committing to another 500,000 square
feet in Mission Bay, and Amazon, AirBnB, and Facebook all with new substantial space requirements. Venture
capital continues to target the San Francisco Bay Area more than any other market in the U.S., investing $24.9

NORTH WATERFRONT /
JACKSON SQUARE
The North Waterfront / Jackson Square is a
premier historic district at the northern border
of the Financial District stretching to the
waterfront. It is widely considered one of the
most attractive and architecturally significant
neighborhoods in San Francisco, offering an ideal
combination of diverse businesses, exceptional
shopping and dining, and beautiful streets and
landscaping. Historically, the district served as
the gateway for sailors and merchants during
the Gold Rush in the mid-1800s and then as
an art-centric business district following the
earthquake of 1906. In recent years, upscale
retailers such as Shinola, Eden & Eden, Tailor’s
Keep, and Iron & Resin have transformed North
Waterfront / Jackson Square into a major retail
destination. North Waterfront / Jackson Square
has traditionally been home to a diverse tenant
base including professional services (Keker & Van
Nest), large retail companies (Williams Sonoma,
Levi Strauss & Co.), and media and advertising
(McCann Worldgroup). Increasingly, technology
and venture capital firms are taking space in the
neighborhood with notable companies such as
Esurance, Intel, Azure Capital Partners, and Seed
Change now calling the submarket home.
“Jackson Square is the new
Sand Hill Road, said venture capitalist
Greg Gretsch, managing director at
Jackson Square Ventures, which has
$1.5 billion under management, and
recently moved their offices from
Menlo Park to San Francisco’s Jackson
Square neighborhood, a historic
part of the city dating back to the
1850s that is now attracting the new
digerati.”

REDEVELOPMENT OF PARKING SITE
The 4,120 square foot lot at 998 Sansome Street, which currently serves as off-site parking for 901
Battery Street, can be redeveloped as a boutique mixed-use project consisting of retail, office, and
residential. While many commercial scenarios are possible under the zoning, a feasibility study
prepared by architect Charles Bloszies demonstrates a six-story scenario with ground floor retail,
three floors of office, and two floors of residential (a total of five units), which would maximize
uses throughout the project. Per a zoning memo prepared by John Kevlin of Reuben Junius &
Rose, the maximum developable floor area (including residential and non-residential uses) is 25,750
square feet. In addition, Planning Commission approval would generally not be required for most
commercial uses, allowing a developer to expedite the design and approval process. Alternatively,
the site may be redeveloped into a small office building that would likely qualify for Small Cap
allocation under Proposition M, or be exempt from Proposition M altogether.
