SAN FRANCISCO, September 17, 2020 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has facilitated the sale of 1098 Harrison Street, a 44,794-square-foot creative office asset in the heart of San Francisco’s tech-driven SOMA District.

JLL facilitated the transaction between the buyer, Hearst, and seller, Embarcadero Capital Partners, in the all-cash, off-market transaction that was structured and completed during COVID.

Originally built in 1924, 1098 Harrison Street received a complete base building renovation over the last 10 years and is regarded as a state-of-the-art creative office space with top-of-the-line amenities, including an all-hands stadium seating area and a rooftop deck.
