The Wikimedia Foundation's headquarters is located on the 16th floor of One Montgomery Tower in San Francisco in California within the United States. The building is near two other locations in San Francisco that the Foundation previously used as its headquarters. Prior to moving to San Francisco, the headquarters was located in St. Petersburg in Florida within the United States.

The majority of Wikimedia Foundation staff do not work from the headquarters in San Francisco.

One Montgomery Tower

Map
One Montgomery Tower from Montgomery Street and Post Street.

One Montgomery Tower, part of the Post Montgomery Center complex, is a 38-story office building connected to the Crocker Galleria mall.

This location is a couple of blocks away from our previous location at 149 New Montgomery Street, is LEED certified, and allowed us to reduce our square footage while meeting our office space priorities for collaboration.

Location

One Montgomery Tower is located at the northeast corner of Post and Kearny Streets in the financial district of San Francisco, California. Its main entrance is on Kearny Street.

Parking

Parking is available at numerous private parking garages in the Financial District. There is very limited street parking near One Montgomery Tower.
