Walnut Creek has experienced a renaissance that has brought high-end restaurants, shopping and nightlife to the downtown core—making it one of the Bay Area’s true 24-hour cities—at a cost less than urban counterparts.

Growers Square Growers Square is a class A three-building office project encompassing 195,372 square feet.

WALNUT CREEK, CA—Due to a rebirth of the city, office properties are going like hotcakes these days.

Some of the property’s high-profile tenants include John Muir-Mt. Diablo Health System, Pacific Coast Bankers Bancshares and BKF Engineers.
