101 Second Street, Office skyscraper in Financial District, San Francisco, United States.
101 Second Street is a 26-story office tower in the Financial District with a glass curtain wall facade and a spacious atrium flooded with natural light. The open lobby creates a transparent connection between the street and the interior spaces.
The building was completed in 2000 by the architectural firm Skidmore Owings Merrill during San Francisco's technology sector expansion. Its completion marked a key moment in the modernization of the Financial District.
The ground floor atrium hosts rotating exhibitions of contemporary art from local San Francisco creators. Visitors passing through the lobby can encounter current artistic works without entering a dedicated gallery space.
The location sits a short walk from Montgomery Street BART station with easy access to multiple transportation options. Being in the heart of downtown makes reaching the building straightforward for visitors arriving by public transit.
The structure was designed with advanced engineering methods to withstand earthquakes common to the San Francisco Bay Area. This seismic resilience is a fundamental but often unnoticed feature of the tower.
