South Park is one of the nicest areas in the SoMa region of San Francisco. But even there it can be tough to find new tenants apparently. So a group looking to sublet their space set up this site touting one major reason why a startup should rent it: it’s Twitter’s original office.

Sure, it’s $3,000 a month for 1,000 square feet, it has flexible lease terms, vaulted ceilings, access to high speed internet, and is in the middle of beautiful South Park. But who cares about any of that? This is about karma. This is the office where Twitter started to make the magic happen. Now they’re a service with 175 million users, adding 15 million or so a month.

Of course, Twitter fairly quickly moved from this site to a bigger space a block or so away (the space Xobni now inhabits). And then they moved again into Bebo’s old offices about a year ago — and took over a second floor in that building. Now, as they’ve surpassed 300 employees, they’re on the move again. But you can rent the space where it all began (well, unless you count the old Odeo offices, where Twitter began as a side project).

One day, perhaps this place will be featured in Before They Were Stars: Tech Startup Edition.
