181 Fremont Street
Encyclopedia
181 Fremont Street is a proposed skyscraper
for the South of Market District of San Francisco, California
. The building, designed by Heller Manus Architects
, will be located adjacent to the Transbay Terminal
and 199 Fremont Street
projects.
The slender mixed-use tower, developed by SKS Investments, is set to rise 213.5 m (700.5 ft) with 54 floors of offices and residential condominiums. The tower will contain 420300 sq ft (39,047.1 m²) of office space and 80 condominiums. 181 Fremont will join several other buildings designed to catalyze the newly proposed San Francisco Transbay development
area.
Currently, the project plan exceeds the 350 foot (106 m) local height limit by a wide margin. However, on May 1, 2008, the city of San Francisco released a zoning plan that allowed the tower to rise as high as 700 feet (213 m),twice as high as the current height restriction.
