BUILDING HISTORY

The building at 712–714 Montgomery Street in San Francisco has a rich and colorful history dating back to the mid-19th century.

Originally, the site was part of the city's waterfront during the Gold Rush era, with the building believed to have been constructed from the hull of an abandoned ship—likely named The Georgian—left by its crew in 1849.

Over the years, the property has housed a variety of businesses and residents, reflecting the dynamic and often tumultuous history of the city. In the 1850s and 1860s, 712 Montgomery served as a bustling immigration station, processing tens of thousands of newcomers during the Gold Rush boom. In the decades that followed, it was home to a liquor store, a dry goods shop, and several wine merchants.

Jackson Square is a historic district located between the Financial District and North Beach in San Francisco.

It is one of the city’s oldest commercial neighborhoods, distinguished by its wellpreserved mid-19th-century architecture. The area features a collection of brick buildings that survived the 1906 earthquake and fire, giving it a distinctive character compared to the surrounding modern skyscrapers.

Once the heart of San Francisco’s Barbary Coast— famous for its saloons, gambling dens, and brothels—Jackson Square has since transformed into an upscale district, now home to art galleries, fashion boutiques, design studios, and high-end restaurants. Despite this modern-day refinement, the neighborhood retains the charm of old San Francisco, with cobblestone streets and ironfronted buildings that evoke the city’s Gold Rush era. Today, it also attracts prominent venture capital firms such as Thrive Capital, Bain Capital, and Artis Ventures, among others.

Location

  • The Property is anchored equidistant between Jony Ive’s LoveFrom/IO campus and the recently revitalized TransAmerica Pyramid
  • Located directly next door to Villa Taverna, one of America's finest private dining clubs, who plays host to high society, politicians and the movers and shakers of San Francisco
  • Surrounded by high-end retailers including Isabel Marant, Anine Bing, Shinola, Zimmerman, Paul Smith, Polo Ralph Lauren and Thom Browne
  • Short walking distance to well-known restaurants including Cotogna, Quince, Bix, Verjus, Kokkari and Peter Hemsley's highly anticipated restaurant at 530 Jackson
