Financial District

The Financial District is San Francisco's traditional downtown business center, with office towers, older commercial buildings and convenient access to regional transit.

It's a practical starting point for companies whose employees or clients travel from different parts of the Bay Area. The district offers a variety of office environments, so we'd compare a few buildings before narrowing the search.
