Waterfront Plaza, located at 55 Francisco Street (the address for the adjacent surface parking lot), 80 Francisco Street (primarily associated with the south building and the main parking garage), and 1256 Sansome Street (primarily associated with the north building), sits right at the border of North Beach and the Embarcadero. I pass by it often, and it's always stood out for its blend of historic brick-and-timber buildings and more modern updates, giving the whole campus a polished yet still very San Francisco feel. The outdoor courtyard is a real highlight. It is spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with plenty of benches for seating. It's a nice spot to take a break, walk your dog (as I often do), have a casual meeting, or just step away from the busier Embarcadero street.
What I like about this area is that it's not just office space; it feels like a small hub within the neighborhood. There are a few solid food options open to the public, including Hillstone (my favorite), which is usually the most popular with its outdoor patio, and Lulu Fresh for lighter meals. The campus also includes practical amenities like a fitness center and childcare services, which, I imagine, make it convenient for people who work here.
Accessibility is another strong point. There's a large parking garage at 80 Francisco Street, which is useful not only for tenants but also for visitors heading to nearby piers and waterfront attractions. It's also close to the F Market & Wharves and within walking distance of places like Coit Tower, Fisherman's Wharf, and the Embarcadero walking paths. Overall, it's a clean, well-managed space that fits nicely into the neighborhood and offers a lot of everyday convenience.
Finally, regarding the parking options here, as mentioned above, 80 Francisco Street and 55 Francisco Street are available for visitors, tenants, and monthly parking. The garage hours are:
Monday - Friday: 6:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Saturday & Sunday: 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM
