Completed in 1972 as headquarters of the Continental Insurance Company, the building is among the earlier of San Francisco's modern skyscrapers. By the start of the dot-com bubble the property, then owned by Grosvenor Properties,[7] was outdated and suffered from deferred capital maintenance.[6]
In 1997, the building was purchased by Walton Capital,[7] which invested heavily in upgrades, re-measured the building at 36,000 square feet (3,300 m2) larger than before, then aggressively re-leased space at higher rates.[6] After two failed transactions, Walton Capital sold the building to investors led by Unico Properties in May 2000 for US$156 million.[6][8][9] Unico re-sold the property to the Alaska Permanent Fund based on a US$149 million price in August 2005, but retained a minority ownership share.[10] The property was acquired by the Rockpoint Group in February 2017 for US$287.5 million.[11]
Tenants
The tower houses many daytime office workers. Major tenants include the New York Life Insurance Company. As of 2016, it is tied with 45 Fremont Center as the twenty-sixth tallest building in San Francisco. It was certified as being operated and maintained as a green building under the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings (LEED EB 2.0) standards in July 2008.[12]
The Consulate-General of Ireland is in the building.[13]
