Pacific Park Plaza, Residential tower in Emeryville, United States.
Pacific Park Plaza is a 30-story residential tower at 318 ft (97 m) in Emeryville, California, next to Interstate 80. It contains 580 apartments, a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.
The building underwent detailed analysis following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake because sensors were installed throughout its structure. This monitoring provided engineers with valuable data about how tall buildings in the Bay Area respond to seismic activity.
Former Oakland Athletics baseball player Dave Stewart selected this building as his residence during his career in the Bay Area.
The tower is clearly visible from Interstate 80, making it easy to locate in the area. A homeowners association manages the property and oversees maintenance of shared spaces and amenities.
Pacific Park Plaza is the tallest building in the Bay Area outside San Francisco and Oakland, not the tallest between them. Its height of 318 feet (97 m) makes it the tallest in Emeryville, and its seismic instrumentation after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake drew engineering studies.
