Visiting The Piers

The Piers offer visitors breathtaking views of San Francisco, the Bay Bridge, Yerba Buena and Treasure Islands.The Port Walk running from Pier 1 ½ through to Pier 5 is a place for strolling and taking time to sit, relax and enjoy the views of the Bay. The Bayside History Walk running through the Pier 3 bulkhead building, parallel to the Embarcadero, contains several display cases showcasing the rich history of the Northeast Embarcadero. Pier 1 ½ offers a free public boat dock for recreational boaters and a water taxi landing

Sustainable Food Mecca

Just south of The Piers, The Ferry Building has quickly become a foodie's haven and CUESA, the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture, has been the epicenter of this renovation and revolution on the waterfront. The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market is a California Certified Farmers Market operated by CUESA. There are three markets per week (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays), all of which take place at the Ferry Building. Since its beginning in 1993, the market has been a crucial link between San Francisco residents and the farmers who practice sustainable agriculture in the region.

Office Space

The design of the 60,000 square feet of exclusive, Class A commercial office space in Piers 1 ½ , 3 and 5 preserves the historic nature of the buildings while incorporating many state of the art modern amenities. The aesthetically pleasing design, spectacular views and proximity to the Ferry Building and the Financial District make this space an ideal setting from which to conduct business.

The majority of the available office area is on the second floor of the buildings. Large expanses of glass, offering spectacular views of the Bay and the Financial District while maximizing daylight in the interior, is one of the signature features of the offices.

The transparency between indoor and outdoor spaces has been emphasized to ensure that tenants and pedestrians will have delightful views of the Bay’s waterfront activities from Herb Caen Way and along the Waterfront.
