1170 Harrison Street is a one-of-a-kind office building that is the culmination of years of planning and design effort. This 1170 Harrison Street project involved the complete renovation and expansion of the historically significant San Francisco Galvanizing Works building, which was originally constructed in 1912 in the Art Modern design style. The building has been fully restored, expanded, and modernized for legal office or PDR ( Production, Distribution, and Repair) use, giving new life to this distinctive industrial building and ensuring it will be preserved for decades to come.
South of Market, locally known as SoMa has historically been an industrial neighborhood. Much of San Francisco’s industrial past existed within its blocks. But in recent years, the buildings and skyline have transformed into a diverse urban center full of industrial buildings, residences, offices, shops, and restaurants, too. SoMa has become a haven for entrepreneurs and inventors who want to create the next big idea. 1170 Harrison Street is the latest example of this transformation. What was once a multi-generation metal fabrication shop has been transformed into a world-class creative office building.
