Located in the heart of Mission Bay, 1700 Owens Street stands as a sleek example of San Francisco’s modern commercial architecture. This eye-catching building, with its distinct angular glass façade, reflects the tech-driven innovation surrounding it. Designed to maximize natural light and efficiency, the exterior's angular geometry paired with turquoise-tinted glass gives a nod to the city’s maritime heritage, while the robust structural lines evoke a sense of forward-thinking momentum. It’s not just about aesthetics here—this building sits at the intersection of biotechnology and healthcare industries, hosting cutting-edge companies contributing to global advancements.
The building was part of the larger Mission Bay redevelopment, which transitioned from rail yards and warehouses into today’s life science hub. Since its completion in the early 2000s, 1700 Owens has housed a variety of tenants, from biotech startups to established research institutions. With close proximity to UCSF’s Mission Bay campus, it plays a pivotal role in fostering collaboration in the research and medical fields.
But it’s not all work at 1700 Owens. The building’s design also prioritizes sustainability, boasting energy-efficient systems and eco-friendly materials. Its glass curtain walls provide panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline and the Bay, while interior green spaces offer a respite for workers.
Whether you're in the area for business, or just passing by, 1700 Owens Street is a striking example of Mission Bay's rise as a dynamic, urban, and future-facing district.

This section will hold the silo for collection of water that will be used for the garden. Why collect water?
Sustainability. To ensure availability for future generations, the withdrawal of fresh water from an ecosystem should not exceed its natural replacement rate.
Energy conservation. Water pumping, delivery, and wastewater treatment facilities consume a significant amount of energy. In some regions of the world over 15% of total electricity consumption is devoted to water management.
Habitat conservation. Minimizing human water use helps to preserve fresh water habitats for local wildlife and migrating waterflow, as well as reducing the need to build new dams and other water diversion infrastructure.
