About the Building
Located on Howard Street between First and Second in the South Financial District of downtown San Francisco, 543 Howard was built in 1924 as a three-story grocery warehouse.

Now recently renovated, 543 Howard Street embodies the very best in contemporary design and thoughtful engineering. Recognizing that progressive workplaces mean healthier employees, 543 Howard’s owners incorporated the use of environmentally sensitive, or "green" practices throughout the building’s remodel.

Renewable materials have been the foundation for much of the advanced renovation, preserving the building's unique character while also helping to eliminate many of the toxins found in office buildings.
