Berry Building, at 185 Berry Street, is a cutting-edge creative office, technology, and life science building situated in the iconic China Basin Campus featuring views of the beautiful San Francisco Waterfront. Located on Mission Creek and Berry Street between 3rd and 4th streets, China Basin has been an enduring symbol of commerce and industry for nearly a century. This modern five-story building was constructed for the China Basin in 1991 and renovated in 2008 with a 2-story addition using a mid-structure base isolation system, a first in U.S. history.
The Berry Building addition was carefully designed to meet the needs of varied users, from life science and technology firms to corporate offices. The efficient, rectangular floor plates can be readily modified into laboratory spaces, classrooms, or offices. State-of-the-art amenities include electric vehicle charging stations, on-site parking with valet assistance, bike storage with quarterly free tune-ups, 24-hour security, conference facilities, a campus center, and areas for outdoor collaboration. The Berry Building houses a diverse tenant mix of well-known businesses such as CenturyLink, Lyft, Dignity Health, and the University of California, San Francisco.
Situated on the San Francisco Bay and across the street from the San Francisco Giants’ ballpark, the China Basin campus is proudly owned by McCarthy Cook & Co. With more designated outdoor space than any other privately-owned building in San Francisco, the stunningly landscaped central courtyard runs the entire China Basin block and features a café with an on-site bakery and covered seating. A multi-level wharf promenade flanks China Basin, providing tenants with outdoor seating areas and views overlooking the Bay. Other on-site amenities include a continuous weekday shuttle service to the Financial District and BART, showers, and a bicycle storage room. Behind the scenes, a skilled management team backed by a complete engineering, janitorial, and security staff is providing timely, tenant-oriented service and support.
China Basin is a vibrant location at the Mission Bay gateway, an eleven-minute Caltrain ride from the Berry Building. Excellent highway access to heavily trafficked transit, with Interstate 280 and Interstate 80 being less than a four-minute drive from The Berry Building. For car-free commuters, the San Francisco Station provides access to the Caltrain in a three-minute walk. The China Basin neighborhood features a wide array of restaurants, numerous entertainment attractions, and a full complement of retail and service establishments in the area, making it easy to work, live, and play within walking distance of the Berry Building.
