Greenlite AI Leases Full Floor at 612 Howard Street in San Francisco’s SOMA District

The ownership group of Millennium Play, LLC and the commercial office building at 612 Howard Street in San Francisco has leased an entire floor to Greenlite AI, a financial services artificial intelligence company. The transaction was facilitated by Newmark’s San Francisco office, a leading commercial real estate firm.

Located between Second and New Montgomery Streets in the SOMA district, 612 Howard Street offers approximately 10,000 square feet per floor. The building, constructed in 1907, features original redwood beams and all-hardwood floors, blending historic character with a modern industrial yet clean aesthetic. It sits just two blocks from Moscone Center and provides easy access to public transit options like BART, Muni, and Caltrain, as well as Highways 101 and 280.

Will Lawrence, Co-Founder and CEO of Greenlite AI, commented on the space choice: “We needed office space that could handle our growth. 612 Howard fits perfectly with our company culture — sophisticated, collaborative, and accessible. Being in the heart of downtown means we’re close to where the action is, and San Francisco’s comeback is very real.”
