This 640,000-sq-ft, 25-story office building south of San Francisco’s Market District achieved triple certification—LEED Gold, WELL Health and Safety and Fitwell Community. The development included renovated historic buildings, privately owned and programmed public open space and new housing. The interior boasts floor-to-floor heights of 15 ft. The varying geometry with multiple terraces, three curtain wall types and two primary storefront materials create a dynamic appearance.
Contest judges were impressed by outreach efforts to the community, describing them as “exceptional.” A range of community stakeholders— including local businesses, nonprofits and residents— informed and influenced numerous aspects of the project. The 100-year-old apartment building adjacent to the project had tenants sometimes inches away. Considerable outreach was directed at nearby residents and businesses. The project team worked to keep them appraised of the construction and any off-hours work.
