Golden Gate University listed its campus in San Francisco’s Financial District for sale, along with another building owned by the university.

The property, at 536 Mission St., clocks in at 210K SF, and along with a 50K SF building behind the campus, the full property totals 260K SF. The university said it will remain in the city, but cites the growing shift to remote learning as one of the driving factors in listing this property. News of the listing was first reported by the San Francisco Business Times.
