About Martin Luther Tower, Inc. Located in the heart of San Francisco’s Cathedral Hill neighborhood, St. Mark’s Square is an intergenerational community built for service, connection and living. The square began with St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, founded in 1849, and grew in size and scope into a larger community in the late 1960s when the church decided to help redevelop its declining neighborhood. The Church is designated as a San Francisco Landmark, recognized for its historical and architectural significance.

Now St. Mark’s Square operates an affordable senior living facility (Martin Luther Tower) onsite and has plans for adding more senior and family housing in the coming few years.

Through innovative, service-enriched housing and holistic support, we aspire to create a model of sustainable, affordable living that fosters connection, well-being, and opportunity for generations to come. By transforming lives and strengthening community bonds, we will continue to set a new standard for housing that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit. If you seek work that is more than just a job but the opportunity to build an intergenerational housing and community hub in San Francisco, and to give back to your community, then this community may be the place for you.
