LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: HPP) has completed the $90 million acquisition of 901 Market Street located at the crossroads of the Union Square and South of Market (SOMA) submarkets in San Francisco. The company had previously announced it had entered into a purchase agreement to acquire the property last month.

901 Market is an approximately 212,000 square foot historic landmark building consisting of approximately 149,000 square feet of office space and 63,000 square feet of ground floor and lower level retail space. Located adjacent to the Westfield San Francisco Shopping Centre and Union Square BART entrance, the property enjoys prominent visibility and access to Union Square’s retail visitors and offers convenient amenities that are important to attracting San Francisco’s burgeoning technology and social media-oriented tenants. 901 Market is approximately 62% leased to a diverse tenant base, affording the Company the opportunity to significantly enhance future income by capitalizing on the favorable market conditions throughout San Francisco.

“We are very pleased to close the acquisition of the 901 Market Street property,” said Victor J. Coleman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. “901 Market Street is a great complement to our San Francisco portfolio and represents a tremendous opportunity to reposition a property in one of the best locations and best markets in the country.”
