Canessa was founded in 1966 when the famous Black Cat bar and Canessa Printing Company closed. It still had direct current electricity, a freight elevator and gaslights.

There are three private offices, four work stations and meeting room, skylighted.

One office and three work stations are available. It is a work environment with the tenants doing different things.

People stay a long time because it is spacious, skylighted, well ventilated, no corridors, elevators or corporate environment. The office that is available has been occupied for the last eight years. The lawyers, bankers, industrial designers, money managers, architects, realtors and non-profits have stayed as long as fifteen years.

Bocadillos is downstairs where the Black Cat was, and being at the intersection of the Financial District, Chinatown and North Beach, there is one of everything within walking distance.

The tenants support a gallery and poetry series.
