Park Tower at Transbay is a 43-story, 605-foot (184 m) office skyscraper under construction in San Francisco, California. The tower will be located on Block 5 of the San Francisco Transbay development plan at the corner of Beale and Howard Streets, near the Transbay Transit Center.[5] The tower will contain 743,000 square feet (69,000 m2) of office space and is expected to be completed in 2018.[6]

History

Block 5, an area bounded by Howard, Main, Beale and Natoma Streets, was formerly a state-owned parcel used for ramps leading to the since-demolished Transbay Terminal and Embarcadero Freeway. The block is bisected by a driveway for the neighboring Providian Financial Building.[7] Although zoned for residential development, the San Francisco Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure issued a request for proposal for a 550-foot (170 m) tower with 700,000 square feet (65,000 m2) of office space.[8]

Four development teams submitted proposals for the site: Boston Properties with Kohn Pedersen Fox; Golub Real Estate and The John Buck Company with Goettsch Partners and Solomon Cordwell Buenz; Jay Paul Company with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill; and Kilroy Realty with Pelli Clarke Pelli.[9] The proposal from Golub Real Estate and The John Buck Company was ultimately selected,[10] featuring a number of large, outdoor terraces on both the northwest and southeast corners of the building.[11] The development group paid US$172.5 million to acquire the property in September 2015.[12][13] Ceremonial groundbreaking took place on October 6, 2015,[4][14] with MetLife taking a majority stake in the project,[15] reportedly worth US$345 million for a 95% ownership stake.[16]
