Located South of Market between Seventh and Eighth streets, 650Townsend is one of the nicer office buildings in the SOMA area. Thelargest tenant is Sega of America, which leases 160,000 sf. Thenewest tenant is Twin Capital Mortgage, which leased about 17,000sf in June. Other tenants include Nokia and HarmonicsCommunications Corp. The building has on-site rooftop parking.

TMG Partners chief executive Michael Covarrubias tellsGlobeSt.com that the first order of business will be to cut inanother entrance and add a new bank of elevators to improve accessto and through the massive building. The plans also includeactivating the now quiet atrium area with a coffee shop and maybe afitness center.

"The building has strange ingress and egress," he says. "Youenter on one end of the building and it takes a map and a lunch toget to the elevators at the other end. Then you get to your floorand have to circle the whole atrium again to get back to the otherend of the building."
