The building is the part of a new generation of skyscrapers in San Francisco's downtown built on Mission Street since 2000,[3] including The Paramount, the St. Regis Museum Tower, Millennium Tower, 101 Second Street, and JP MorganChase Building.

History

Tishman Speyer acquired the land for the project in 1999.[5] The tower was originally approved by the Planning Commission on April 5, 2001, to rise Script error: No such module "convert". and 30 stories.[6] A revised plan, adding three stories and raising the height to Script error: No such module "convert"., was approved on December 13, 2001.[6] However, due to the downturn in the office market after the dot-com bust, developer Tishman Speyer froze the project waiting for economic conditions to improve.[3] In 2006, five years after the building was approved for construction, work on the tower finally began.

In January 2008, Tishman Speyer signed DLA Piper to occupy Script error: No such module "convert". floors 22 to 26 of the tower.[7] In March 2008, law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher agreed to take up Script error: No such module "convert". of office space in the tower. In October 2009, Intellectual Property law firm Novak Druce + Quigg moved into the 34th floor penthouse of the building.[8] As of summer 2008, close to half of the building's office space has been leased, with the possibility of more tenants moving in.[9] In 2010, Deloitte signed a 15-year lease to occupy 10 floors of the building, becoming the anchor tenant, and taking up most of the remaining space.[10]

In June 2012, Tishman Speyer sold the building to Union Investment for US$446.5 million.[11]
