Fontana Fitzwilson, Executive Vice President for Williams & William said the 
4-level mixed-use building is located next to the world famous Chinese 
International American School and the exclusive French American International 
School. The current square footage is 9,580+/- and the building has the ability 
to add another four floors of residential units. "The building's location in 
the Hayes Valley District puts it within walking distance to the new SF Jazz 
Center, the world-famous Davies Symphony Hall and international tech firms that 
include Twitter, Dolby, Uber and WeWork. Across the street are the exclusive 
French American and Chinese American School," Fitzwilson said.

"We've had international interest in this beautiful building, particularly the 
foreign businesses that desire to greatly speed up immigration procedures and 
move their family," Fitzwilson said. She noted that the upon meeting certain 
requirements, the L1 visa petition may speed up the immigration process to as 
fast as 30 days. Traditional immigration processes have waiting lists up to 15 
years. "We strongly advise buyers who wish to pursue the L1 visa to consult 
with a professional immigration consultant." 

The property can be viewed by appointment prior to the auction. Photos of the 
building can be found at https://www.williamsauction.com or request digital
