The retail space at 856 Market Street is spread across the three above-ground storeys of the building. Access is via the ground-level main entrance. Room heights vary from 2.6 to 4.0 metres. The property is currently occupied by internationally renowned shoe brand New Balance, which benefits from the building’s excellent location. The nearby surroundings are home to hip restaurants, bars, hotels and galleries, which contribute to the high footfall.

The property is close to San Francisco's famous Union Square in the North Market submarket, one of the best retail locations in the United States. Powell Street metro station and the legendary cable cars are just 150 metres from the building.
