Located in the north of Market Street district, 400/430 California Street is situated in an area of San Francisco long known for a strong office market for financial institutions.
The property consists of a low-rise bank branch (400 California Street), which has been designated a historical landmark since 1908. Adjacent to it, is an office tower (430 California Street) built in 1965. Takenaka Corporation has joint-ventured with KENNEDY WILSON and acquired this asset in December 2016.
A historical fact: the bank unit is the first commercial facility to be rebuilt in 1908 after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and is therefore known as “The Grand Old Lady of California Street”.
