I AM SELLING MY HISTORIC BUILDING AND BUSINESS IN SAN FRANCISCO!

I am saddened to say I am going to sell my awesome historic building in SF, 1069-1071-1073 Howard Street, as this Pandemic is crushing me! As a small business operating with no outside investors, we’ve always been profitable, but we do not have unlimited resources.

I am also selling The Box SF my events business https://www.TheBoxSF.com and will even stay on to consult during the transition. The events business for us was over $850,000 in revenue last year alone, and highly profitable. Just the top floor easily services the total debt on the building. I am selling the business for an additional Million Dollars (a song) including the brand name, the operations, the good will, reviews and social media. I’m selling all the Antique Fixtures, Furniture and a good amount of the Wine Cellar as well, additional to that, at a price to be negotiated. My Design and Branding Agency Reflectur, will continue to operate and is a virtual agency, so it will continue unaffected as will my other business ventures.

The building has the highest historic status the City and County of San Francisco offers and is eligible for Stat Historic Status. It was built in 1926 and house the William Randolph Hearst Printing Plant for a time where the San Francisco Examiner was printed. It has high definition Security Cameras, A Phone System, updated high speed wifi and internet throughout and 5 undated and remodeled bathrooms. There are two Kitchens, (one brand new in November of 2019), and of course our spectacular meeting and dining table, the largest and oldest in the world at 337 year old!

The Meeting and Events Spaces on the top 2 Floors are very well known, and have had 10’s of Thousands of Clients and Guests such as Snoop Dogg, Adidas, Common, Ludicrous, Kenny Burns, Ted Talks, The Governor, Intel, Apple, IBM, Game Developers Conference, Twitter, Sales Force, Facebook, Gaming Companies, Weddings, Dinners, and a slew of other Clients and Non-Profits. My well known Networking Events called “The Art of Active Networking” have brought over 20,000 people here on Monday nights for 14 years now! The events business will bounce right back in the Spring, we are already getting inquiries for this Fall, but I cannot hold on that long. We are fully operational with a full tech partner, amazing caterers and the best bar team in the business. The store will also close at Sale, unless the new owner wishes to lease it back to me for a year or two. 

I am sending this to a small and select group of you who may have connections, or people who may have interest in this spectacular building with “The Sipping Room” my custom built and designed hidden Speakeasy in the basement. As you know I have put every penny and the last 16 years of my life into this building. It is impeccable, pristine, and has so many amazing features and opportunities, that there really is nothing comparable to it here in San Francisco. It’s proximity to Moscone Center (Just 3 Blocks East) makes it even more desirable. It is in the Heart of SOMA and just a few blocks from Google, AirBNB Headquarters and Twitter! 

It is priced to sell and I am available for any questions. Should you know an Investor or interested party, my real estate team, Innovation Properties Group are fantastic! Warner and Ivan the Principles are both copied here for further questions. There is a substantial development opportunity here as well should you know any real estate developers. We’ve even shown a possible rendering in the listing as a concept, to give an idea of potential.

I’m grateful for any of you wishing to dig deep and think who in your network might have interest, or know anyone who does.
