Two Embarcadero Center

Two Embarcadero Center, Skyscraper in Financial District, San Francisco, US.

Two Embarcadero Center is a 126 m, 30-story office tower completed in 1974 and designed by John Portman & Associates. Its facade is a grid of vertical rectangular windows in dark blue glass set between light grey piers and spandrels, with a grey vertical strip along one edge. It is the third-tallest building of the seven-tower Embarcadero Center, level with its twin Three Embarcadero Center, which has one more floor.

Two Embarcadero Center was completed in 1974, designed by John Portman & Associates, the studio of architect John C. Portman Jr. It is one of the seven towers of the Embarcadero Center complex, two of which are hotels. At 126 m and 30 stories, it shares its height with its twin, Three Embarcadero Center, which has one additional floor.

Two Embarcadero Center is one of seven towers in the Embarcadero Center complex, two of which are hotels. Its twin, Three Embarcadero Center, stands the same 126 m tall but has one more floor. The building's business offices housed the Iranian Consulate of San Francisco from January 27, 1972 until April 8, 1980.

Two Embarcadero Center stands off The Embarcadero at the eastern edge of the Financial District, at coordinates 37.79490, -122.39800. The tower's base opens onto surrounding walkways, and a projecting canopy with a flat concrete roof, held up by a column, marks one entrance; a low wall with green vines runs beneath it. A dark metal traffic signal and a small green street sign stand in front of the base.

The tower connects to neighboring buildings via elevated covered walkways that form a hidden pedestrian network above street level. This interconnected system allows you to move between buildings while staying sheltered from the weather.
