Project Description

ECB was the developer for the rehabilitated and converted historic 6th Army Headquarters Building at the Presidio Main Post in San Francisco into office space.

This 60,000 square foot, $12 million renovation project was privately financed with a combination of private equity, the use of historic tax credits and bank financing secured by a long-term master lease with the Presidio Trust.

The rehabilitation was completed in the Fall of 2001, and the project was leased to 95% by April of 2002, despite an extremely difficult commercial real estate market in San Francisco.

Current tenants are a mix of non-profits ranging from social justice to the environment, tech start-up, and finance. ECB is the property manager for the building (leasing opportunities).

Like the Thoreau Center for Sustainability, another ECB Project in the Presidio, the design team combined historic preservation and “green building” principles into all aspects of the rehabilitation.
