500 Pine Street

San Francisco, CA

Completed in 2016, 500 Pine Street is a five-story commercial building in downtown San Francisco that integrates seamlessly with the adjacent St. Mary's Square Park through a rooftop garden. Situated on a former vacant lot, the design carefully adheres to height restrictions governed by the park's open space designation, with a partial fifth floor and mechanical penthouse within the allowable shadow envelope. The building includes a full basement with parking and building services, while its connection to the park enhances urban green space. Certified LEED Gold, 500 Pine Street exemplifies thoughtful urban design and sustainability.
