851 Howard St
About this home
The Future Has an Address. Welcome to 851 Howard Street. This is 32,100 square feet of beautifully unconventional possibility in the heart of San Francisco's innovation district. Directly across the Howard Street corridor from Moscone Center. This is where technology, capital, design, and culture collide. The world's biggest tech conferences come to this neighborhood. Founders, engineers, investors, and all the tech thought leaders gather here to talk about what's next. And 851 Howard is right here! Originally improved by PG&E as a data-center training and testing facility, the building comes with serious infrastructure already in place: 1,200+ amps of power, server and storage rooms, HVAC, automatic lighting and shades, large meeting spaces, commercial-kitchen infrastructure, rear loading access, oversized elevator, and secure on-site parking. Translation: a lot of the expensive stuff is already done! Now make it yours. Just the keys, and it is the hottest AI headquarters, Robotics lab, Hardware startup, Creative studio, Venture-backed moonshot, Private club, or Next-generation research space. Three levels of approximately 10,700 square feet each!!! Soaring 15-foot ceilings, skylights, open work areas, conference rooms, private offices, and flexible partitions. Downst

Wildfire hazard designation
CAL FIRE does not map this parcel inside a designated Fire Hazard Severity Zone. That is an absence of state designation, not a guarantee — the seller's Natural Hazard Disclosure remains the authoritative document for this address.
