Avison Young Principal Mark McGranahan and Transaction Manager Melinda Ta represented the tenant. The landlord, CW Capital Asset Management LLC, was represented by Kidder Mathews.

The 11-story, Class A office building features on-site parking, 24/7 on-site security, bike storage, open patios, and the Civic Center BART station is in front of the property.

“Our Avison Young team evaluated then tenant’s current space utilization and identified locations that could improve employee commute patterns. We then developed three solutions and negotiated to achieve the best possible lease terms,” said McGranahan.

He added, “Larkin, like other employers in San Francisco, is competing for talent and relocating to new space that will help them recruit and retain the best talent. This new location is also a few blocks from their operational site and is next to a BART/Muni station which was important to them.”

Larkin Street Youth Services will relocate from 711 Van Ness to 1155 Market Street, just a short drive away. The move reflects the organization’s goal of being closer to public transit for its employees, while also upgrading to a higher-quality space with improved building features and achieving greater cost efficiency.

"We are incredibly grateful to Mark, and the entire Avison Young team for their outstanding support throughout this process. From the very beginning, Mark demonstrated a genuine understanding of Larkin Street's mission and the populations we serve, ensuring that every option considered reflected our need for financially sustainable space that would meaningfully enhance the environment in which we work with young people. The process was thorough, collaborative, and seamless — and the result speaks for itself,” said Bryn VanAlstyne, COO, Larkin Street Youth Services.
