San Francisco, CA
Built in 1896, the monumental Beaux Arts Ferry Building, designed by A. Page Brown, is a San Francisco landmark. Built entirely over piers, the Ferry Building was redeveloped by opening the central nave for most of the 660-foot length of the building. The restored three-story, skylit space features restaurants and retail shops at ground level and 175,000 sf of first-class office space on the upper floors. The project also included expansion of the East Promenade located on the deck behind the Ferry Building to provide enhanced public access to the bay and ferry terminal. R+C provided structural engineering services for the project.
Since completing this major renovation project, R+C has continued to work on a variety of tenant improvement and repair projects at the Ferry Building.
