Hopefully we can get more of these office to housing conversions, especially with the WFH revolution resulting in obsolete/underused office space, especially in these downtown areas that are well served by public transportation.
The specs for 785 Market St:
- 19 floors, 232 ft
- 124 units (122 1BR, 1 2BR, 1 3BR)

Office-to-Housing Conversion Starts at 785 Market Street, San Francisco
By: Andrew Nelson 5:00 am on October 17, 2024
The official kick-off ceremony has been held for the conversion of the historic Humboldt Bank office building at 785 Market Street in San Francisco’s urban core. Crews are now expected to start turning the 19-story century-old slab tower into 124 units of housing. Forge Development Partners is responsible for the project.
The 232-foot tall structure yields around 105,700 square feet, with conversion plans to create 90,620 square feet for residents, 8,700 square feet of retail, and 1,650 square feet of common space. Residential amenities will be found in the basement, second floor, and 15th floor. Of the 124 market-rate rental apartments, all but the top two units will be one-bedroom residences. Level 16 will feature a two-bedroom apartment, and a three-bedroom penthouse will occupy the top three floors.
...
The Humboldt Bank Building was completed in 1908 with the design by Meyer & O’Brien. Few alterations have been made in the intervening years, with most of the baroque ornamentation across the edifice and domed roof still present today, making it the last domed tower in San Francisco following the 1938 redesign of the Call Building. In a historical review from 1975, city staff wrote that the structure’s “steel frame was one of the first locally to be braced with lattice girders.”
