Description

The White House Building at 256 Grant Avenue or 255 Sutter Street is an iconic landmark on a flagship corner in the heart of Union Square. This area is San Francisco’s most famous entertainment, shopping, and dining destination. Surrounded by a vibrant selection of luxury brands, renowned restaurants, and trendy hotels, The White House Building offers retailers an advantageous platform for brand exposure and growth.

The building features triad entrances with an impressive 109 feet of store frontage on Grant Avenue and an incredible 221 feet of frontage on Sutter Street. The storefronts encompass multiple fitting rooms, a spacious layout, abundant elevator access, breathtaking interior finishes, and various means of egress. Each level has ascending ceiling heights: the ground level is 18 feet, and 14 feet on the lower level. Window shoppers appreciate the soaring floor-to-ceiling window displays that offer a luxurious façade, ample room for advertising signage, and a peek into the interior. The building also has over 350 public parking spaces within a parking garage and a loading area.

The White House Building is at the epicenter of it all, with the world-famous Dragon Gate entrance to San Francisco’s historic Chinatown only a block away, where millions of tourists visit each year. Neighboring retailers include Harry Winston, Cartier, Rimowa, Robert Paul, Kiton, Marlowe, Hot 8 Yoga, and Chipotle, among many others. In April 2024, Nintendo announced its plans to open a store in Union Square in 2025. In addition, Ikea's new store in Downtown San Francisco is less than 0.5 miles away from Union Square. The White House Building presents the ideal opportunity for retailers desiring a front-row seat in a bustling market.
