150 California Street

150 California Street is a 24-story modern office tower in San Francisco's Financial District that rises 331 feet above street level. The structure features a limestone base, granite curtain wall, and glass elements topped with a metal spire.

The building was completed in 2000 by the architecture firm Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum. Its completion contributed to San Francisco's skyline evolution during a period when contemporary office towers were reshaping the city's profile.

The lobby displays French limestone, stained eucalyptus wood, and honey onyx marble that reflect a refined design approach. These materials create an upscale environment that defines the building's interior identity.

The building operates six passenger elevators serving all floors and offers reserved valet parking for executives. Be aware that this is primarily a private office building and public access may be limited to the ground floor areas.

The building features an exterior landscaped garden terrace decorated with a sculpture by Edward Carpenter. This quiet space with seating areas offers occupants an unexpected retreat from the surrounding urban environment.
