Select Retail Assets in Key Locations Find Favor

111 Maiden Lane is home to some of the world’s most iconic luxury brands.

SAN FRANCISCO—Despite market concerns on a broader level for retail, select assets in leading locations are still displaying strong institutional liquidity, GlobeSt.com learns. And in the ultra-select assets category are 111 Maiden Lane and 201 Post St., home to the West Coast flagships of several of the world’s most iconic luxury brands such as Hermès, Yves Saint Laurent, Cartier and Fendi.

The two properties, situated at the intersection of Post and Grant streets, are considered the heart of Union Square’s high-street retail district. The beaux-arts buildings, built in 1908 and 1909, also contain approximately 100,000 square feet of some of San Francisco’s most sought-after creative office and serve as headquarter locations for the advertising firm Venables Bell and famed interior designer Orlando Diaz-Azcuy.
