The first twelve floors contain office space. Unlike many buildings, Fox Plaza has a 13th floor actually labeled "13", although this floor is the service floor and is not rented out. The 14th floor contains a gymnasium and laundry facilities as well as apartments, while floors 15 through 29 are exclusively rental apartments.

There is a corner low rise retail component housing an office supply store, national coffee chain and a US Post Office. The current owners are in the early planning and permitting stages to demolish the low rise retail and replace it with a convert|120|ft|m|sing=on building containing condominiums.Cite web|title=Fox Plaza (1390 Market): 250 New Condos In The Works|url=http://www.socketsite.com/archives/2007/07/fox_plaza_1390_market_250_new_condos_in_the_works.html|accessdate=2008-01-29|publisher=SocketSite.com]
