505 Montgomery Street

505 Montgomery Street is a 24-story office building in the Financial District with a height of about 100 meters (330 feet) and a polished Barre Gray granite facade. The structure features a trapezoidal roofline and contains approximately 31,000 square meters (333,000 square feet) of office space.

Construction finished in 1988 by the architectural firm Skidmore Owings Merrill, and the project involved joining together ten separate land parcels into one site. The development required careful coordination to bring together properties that had been independently owned.

The nearby Empire Park replaced a planned pedestrian passage and honors Emperor Norton, a local figure from the 1860s and 1870s who spent time in this neighborhood.

The building offers various working areas, meeting rooms, and business lounges for visitors and users. These facilities are professionally managed to support flexible working arrangements.

The building features a spire roofline inspired by the Empire State Building, making it a recognizable landmark in the city's skyline. This design element sets it apart from most other modern office towers in the area.
