SAN FRANCISCO—The Mills Building has been continuously owned by the Swig Company for more than 63 years, and ownership has studiously maintained and updated the building during that time with a particular emphasis on sustainability and tenant amenities. The iconic Mills Building at 220 Montgomery St., one of Swig’s signature assets, along with adjacent properties at 333 and 369 Pine, have been awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design/LEED Platinum certification from the US Green Building Council/USGBC. In addition, illy Caffe, Pilates Pro and Lite Bite have signed leases in the building, adding to its ground-floor retail presence.

Though it was designed and built long before LEED came into existence, the Mills Building is one of the longest-serving office buildings in the country to secure LEED Platinum certification for being maintained and operated for improved environmental and human health performance. It is believed to be the oldest commercially owned multi-tenant building in the Bay Area to carry USGBC’s highest certification.
