A joint venture between The John Buck Co., Golub & Co. and MetLife has completed construction of Park Tower at Transbay, a 45-story, 803,700-square-foot office tower in San Francisco’s Transbay district.
The project marks GP’s first completed building in the city.
The 605-foot-tall building includes a covered, 3,600-square-foot outdoor plaza with a 35-foot ceiling at the base of the tower. The asset is across the street from the new Transbay Transit Center and three blocks away from the bay.
