350 Mission Street will establish a new benchmark for a 21st Century urban ecology in San Francisco. The concept of urban ecology embodies a holistic approach to urban architecture, considering the built urban context, the natural environment, and the social and cultural vitality of the city.
350 Mission will be located at the heart of the city's newest business district and adjacent to the future Transbay Transit Center, a multi-modal regional transit portal to San Francisco. 350 Mission will be an urban landmark in terms of its presence on the San Francisco skyline as well as at ground level, where tens of thousands of people will experience the building's public spaces on a daily basis.
World-Class Design
This innovative new building concept will be achieved under the leadership of project developer
GLL Development & Management, architects from the award-winning San Francisco office of the international firm,
Skidmore Owings & Merrill, LLP, and engineers from
WSP Flack + Kurtz, one of America's leading sustainable environmental engineering firms, is designing the building systems.
From the ground up, the 27-story 350 Mission tower will address both the public and private realms with an
active public lobby, café, and
restaurant at street level, and
flexible office space above. The building will exemplify
sustainable design principles that
minimize the building's impact on the environment while optimizing the comfort of tenants and visitors.
From day one, GLL was specific in its instructions to
deliver the extraordinary-from
floor-to-ceiling heights much higher than average, to an
environmentally-friendly mechanical system that
conserves natural resources, to a unique curtainwall design that takes advantage of 350 Mission's building height and location.
Its unique architectural design provides tenants with
entirely column-free floor plates and variable core to window depths that maximize open or private office layout flexibility. Each floor features floor to ceiling glass windows. The design
allows 10-foot finished ceiling heights. The building's
50 foot high lobby is closely tied into the outside space, offering a dramatic and inviting entryway. From the ground up, the 27-story 350 Mission tower will address both the public and private realms with an active public lobby, café, and restaurant at street level, and flexible office space above. The building will also exemplify
sustainable design principles that minimize the building's impact on the environment while optimizing the comfort of tenants and visitors.
Modern Energy Management Systems
350 Mission's
computer-based building management will incorporate state-of-the-art technology to monitor and control multiple building systems for
optimum energy efficiency and comfort. The advanced comfort control system will allow delivery on a floor-by-floor basis, and also for specific zones within each floor. Each floor will be separately metered. The system will also allow tenants to control lighting and after-hour cooling on a zone-to-zone basis.
Cutting Edge Technology
350 Mission will have a
telecommunication infrastructure unmatched by any existing office building in downtown San Francisco. The communication distribution system is designed to provide tenants with easy access to a choice of sophisticated options from multiple telecommunication service providers.
Superb Location
350 Mission will be located at the
heart of the city's new business district and
catty-corner from the future Transbay Transit Center, a multi-modal regional transit terminal for San Francisco's commuter rail and bus systems and the future statewide high-speed rail. This location is in close proximity to other Class A office and luxury highrise residential projects offers unparalleled access and convenience for tenants and visitor. 350 Mission will establish its urban landmark status in San Francisco through the way it meets the sky and especially the ground, where tens of thousands of commuters will experience the building's public spaces on a daily basis.
