Description 

1000 Van Ness is experiencing a wave of momentum with two major anchor tenants—a new 92,724-square-foot, 14-screen movie theater and a 35,537-square-foot premium health club—both set to open this summer. These launches mark a major milestone for the property and the surrounding Van Ness corridor.
     
The remaining available spaces include the 8,696-square-foot Mezzanine Suite, ideal for a lounge or restaurant concept, and the 10,462-square-foot Grand Gallery, well-suited for experiential retail or showroom use.
      
Originally designed by Weeks and Day in the 1920s and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building blends historic architecture with modern use. The recent lifting of the formula retail ban along Van Ness now opens the door for national and regional retailers, adding further upside to the corridor’s revitalization.
      
With limited space remaining, 1000 Van Ness offers a unique opportunity to join one of San Francisco’s most high-profile mixed-use properties.
        
1000 Van Ness is walkable to several shopping, dining, and entertainment amenities. This retail destination is walkable to public transit through multiple MUNI, Caltrain, and BART lines. Several educational institutions are in the neighboring Civic Center neighborhood, including UC Law San Francisco (formerly known as the UC Hastings College of the Law), the Art Institute of California, San Francisco, and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

Highlights

1000 Van Ness presents the opportunity to lease a variety of retail, office, and creative space in a landmark building anchored by a 14-screen cinema.
Mixed-use destination surrounded by retailers such as Tesla, CVS, Whole Foods, Starbucks, McTeague's Saloon, and Sutter Health.
Repurposed to deliver modern spaces with tall ceilings, expansive window lines, and flexible floor plans, with a touch of old-world charm.
Conveniently located on Van Ness Avenue (US Highway 101), offering excellent visibility and access throughout Downtown San Francisco.
