Embarcadero West, Modern skyscraper in Financial District, San Francisco, United States.
Embarcadero West is a 34-story tower in San Francisco's Financial District with a glass and steel facade that dominates the waterfront skyline. The building combines office and retail spaces across its height, creating a mixed-use structure along the Embarcadero.
The building was completed in 1989 following the removal of elevated highways that had blocked the waterfront. This clearing opened the way for major redevelopment along the Embarcadero.
The structure represents a shift in San Francisco's architectural landscape, incorporating commercial spaces that support the city's growing financial sector.
The building sits near public transportation and connects easily to waterfront walking paths that run along the Embarcadero. Visitors can explore the area on foot and enjoy views of the water and cityscape from various spots nearby.
Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association acquired the property for 205 million dollars in 2005, marking one of the largest real estate transactions that year.
