History

Completed in 1986, the tower was developed by Shorenstein Properties and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.

It was owned by Northwood, LLC, which acquired it for $300 million from the Chinese insurance company, HNA Group in 2018.[2] Juul announced in June 2019 that it had purchased 123 Mission Street, while maintaining an existing space on Pier 70.[3] The deal was "one of the largest in San Francisco history for a tech company that doesn't specialize in real estate."[4] The building was worth an estimated $400 million.[5]

In November 2019, Juul laid off 23 employees at its new 123 Mission Street Office[6] and was considering selling the building, which it had acquired for $397 million.[7]

As of May 2023, during what the San Francisco Chronicle described as "Downtown San Francisco['s] worst office vacancy crisis on record," 123 Mission Street had a vacancy rate of 89.9%.[8]

Features

The tower is 28 stories, with 363,000 square feet of real estate.[9]
