New York-based private equity firm Madison and PGIM, an offshoot of Prudential Financial, bought the property for $95 million in 2018. The duo then poured $17 million into capital improvements, converting the former data center into a modern mixed-use asset. The five-story building was constructed in 1924 as a Navy and Marine hub.

About 130,000 square feet of the building is leased out to blood bank Vitalant, “people management platform” Lattice, Verizon and AT&T.

Founded in 2002 by John Winther, Harvest Properties has bought numerous buildings in the Bay Area over the past decade. In April, it paid nearly $100 million for an office building on nearby Brannan Street in April. CIM Group was the seller.
