One Montgomery Tower

One Montgomery Tower is a 38-floor skyscraper at the corner of Post and Kearny Streets, featuring red granite facades and square tempered glass windows set in aluminum frames. The structure contains office space with varying ceiling heights and includes a rooftop deck accessible to occupants.

Completed in 1982 by the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the tower was built by removing ten floors from the adjacent Crocker Bank building. This process created public space while preserving the original banking hall with its ornamental ceiling inside.

The building blends Art Deco-inspired forms with contemporary office design, creating visual continuity in the Financial District's streetscape. Its red granite and glass exterior reflects the neighborhood's architectural identity and how the tower fits within San Francisco's downtown character.

The tower sits at a prominent corner in the Financial District and is easily accessible from the street level with clear public areas at ground level. Visitors can explore the ground floor and surrounding public spaces without needing special permission.

A modern cashierless retail store operates on the ground floor directly adjacent to the preserved historic Crocker banking hall with its ornate ceiling. This juxtaposition highlights how contemporary commerce and preserved heritage exist side by side within the same building.
