From the park on the transit center roof past Salesforce, Anthropic, Google and Databricks to the Ferry Building.
Start on the roof of the Salesforce Transit Center and walk the Transbay offices where big tech names sit: Salesforce Tower, Dropbox's newest address, Anthropic's two Howard Street towers, then Google and Databricks on Spear Street. End at the Ferry Building, where you can sit down.
Getting there: Start at Salesforce Transit Center (Muni and BART at Embarcadero or Montgomery; the park elevator is on Mission Street).

425 Mission St
You are on a living roof of 600 trees and 16,000 plants, set in a 5.4 acre public park above the Salesforce Transit Center. The towers around you carry tech names: Salesforce Tower is next door and Anthropic's headquarters is a block south on Howard Street. Take the lawn to the east end before you go down.
Look for: The glass gondola up from Mission Street and the bus deck below the lawn.
Public open space.

415 Mission St
Salesforce's own locations page gives Salesforce Tower, 415 Mission Street, as its San Francisco address. The company's name is on the building, which makes it the easiest headquarters on this walk to find.
Look for: The name over the Mission Street entrance.
Public lobby you can walk into.

Stop 3 of 8
Block from the DataSF business registry and an SEC cover page; Dropbox has not published a door or floor.
Dropbox's filing for the quarter ended June 2026 lists 50 Hawthorne Street as its principal office, and the city's business registry shows a Dropbox location here from 1 July 2026. Its annual report for 2025 still gave 1800 Owens Street in Mission Bay, so this block is the company's newest address.
Look for: Nothing marked; the block is the stop.
Private office. Nothing to see inside; the building is the story.

500 Howard St
This is Anthropic's headquarters, beside the park you started on. SFist describes 500 Howard as the company's headquarters, and the city's business registry has Anthropic here from 2024. By January 2026 press put its San Francisco headcount at more than a thousand.
Look for: The park's living wall drops down to Howard Street right next to the entrance.
Worth seeing from the street.

300 Howard St
In January 2026 Anthropic leased all of this tower on a 13-year term, according to SFist. It was formerly 199 Fremont and once home to StubHub and Fitbit. The landlord says the lease also covers the small historic building at 342 Howard. The move-in date has not been published.

345 Spear St
Google's locations page lists 345 Spear Street as one of its San Francisco offices, and the city's business registry has a Google location at this address from 2017. The registry lists several more Google addresses on and around Spear Street.
Look for: An office-tower lobby; the story is how many Google addresses sit within a few blocks.
Worth seeing from the street.

160 Spear St
Databricks lists the fifteenth floor of this Spear Street building as its address, and the city's registry has it here since 2015. In March 2025 SFist reported a 150,000 square-foot lease at One Sansome for a new downtown headquarters.
Look for: An ordinary office lobby; the story is in the lease, not the frontage.
Worth seeing from the street.

1 Ferry Building
End at the Ferry Building, a landmark at the foot of Market Street since 1898. SHACK15, a members' club for founders, lists Suite 201 here as its address, and the Ferry Building Marketplace is the place to sit down afterwards.
