Goettsch Partners has finalized work on Park Tower at Transbay, an 803,700-square-foot office property in San Francisco. A partnership including The John Buck Co., Golub Co. and MetLife developed the 45-story tower, which marks the first building completed by GP in the city.

Distinctive design<\/h2>\n

The 605-foot tower\u2019s design features a massing that integrates three distinct floor plates, which include a series of outdoor terraces carved out to resemble \u201cparks in the sky.\u201d The facade consists of floor-to-ceiling glass and vertical glass fins, and according to Scott Seyer, principal & senior project designer at GP, the materiality and scale of the facade changes with each separate floor plate area.<\/p>\n

The fritted pattern is repeated all the way through the base, where the property features a covered 3,600-square-foot outdoor plaza with seating areas and an art installation dubbed \u201cNight Writing\u201d by Teresita Fernandez. Park Tower at Transbay is LEED Gold certified, incorporating sustainable features such as high-efficiency building systems, natural ventilation and raised floors.<\/p>\n
