What Our Members Say
"What a beautiful building! I worked in the Rotunda space for about 6 months and it is such a gem of a space inside. The greenery, the pleasant scent, and background music created a pleasant vibe from the moment you entered into the building. A friendly and welcoming staff at the security desk and a helpful property management team."
Lena - Member
"Our team utilized the amenity space for multiple different events, from small lunches, to full team meetings in their large conference room. The location was super accessible via the 12th Street BART station and also convenient to have a parking garage across the street. I also appreciated the use of the Ridy scooters for a quick errand nearby or to go pick up lunch just a bit further way. Access to the scooters was a great tenant perk."
