SIMEON Commercial Properties purchased the 17 acre Hiram Walker Bottling Facility for adaptive reuse to office and manufacturing in a joint venture with TA Realty. The site was subdivided so that a portion could be developed for a build-to-suit for sale client. The redevelopment of the bottling facility included replacing numerous docks with glass and adding architectural features and landscaping. Metropolitan Furniture moved its headquarters to the site, including its corporate offices and an elaborate showroom. The United States Postal Service chose the site because of its proximity to the San Francisco Airport.
