Kilroy Realty Corporation (NYSE:KRC) today said it has completed the acquisition of an approximately 1.75 acre site at the corner of 5th and Brannan Streets, immediately adjacent to The Flower Mart development site the company currently owns in the heart of San Francisco’s South of Market (“SoMa”) neighborhood. KRC purchased the site from a private family for approximately $31 million in cash and 867,701 Kilroy Realty, L.P. operating partnership units.

KRC now owns a total of approximately seven acres on Brannan Street between 5th and 6th Streets, with the addition of the newly acquired site. The company has been working on the land assemblage for several years and completed the acquisition of the first parcel in late 2014.

Upon city approval, the company plans to develop a world class office, retail and flower mart project, including approximately 2.1 million square feet of office and retail space. Plans for the project include a dynamic mix of creative office, market hall style retail and wholesale flower mart surrounded by a central public plaza that embodies the rich urban history of the area. The site has been and will continue to be the home to a thriving wholesale flower market that will be redeveloped into a modern, state-of-the-art facility, which will provide an anchor for the company’s development plans.

The project represents one of the largest remaining commercial development opportunities in the city’s downtown area. It is located just one block from the 4th and Brannan stop of the future Central Subway. The newly acquired site, with its corner location, will add significant market presence to the already well-located project.
