“Work” and “exciting” don't have to be oppositional. At Brookfield Properties, the amenities we deliver are just as exceptional as the places we create.
Where history and sustainability meet
A sustainability program for the ages
685 Market Street, also known as The Monadnock Building, is a historic, 205,000 square foot, 10-story office building in downtown San Francisco. Built in 1906, it is an exquisite example of turn-of-the-century "Beaux Arts" style. Its storied place in San Francisco's history makes it one of the city's most well-known landmark properties and through our ongoing sustainability program, the property is now LEED and Energy Star certified.
A refreshed and renovated landmark in the heart of SF
685 Market Street underwent a full restoration and renovation project in the late 1980s/early 1990s and features marble tiled courtyards with fountains, arched trellises, and extensive murals representing notable figures from the city's past. The 10-story building houses approximately 192,000 square feet of office space and 13,000 square feet of street-level retail.
685 Market Street has a newly renovated exterior façade and storefronts, main lobby, and atrium courtyard. It is ideally located between Union Square and the Financial District, steps from Annie Street Plaza, a redesigned pedestrian park with seating, greenery, and planned events, and within walking distance to museums and other notable city landmarks.
