Description
Architect: Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP - som.com

• On September 22, 2005: the property was purchased by Hudson Waterfront Associates of New York for $1.05 billion, and was renamed 555 California Street from Bank of America Center.

• Until the 1998 merger of Bank of America and NationsBank into Bank of America, this was B of A's headquarters. Now the bank is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.

• The building is comprised of a 52 storey tower over a 3 level base and pavaillion designed to accomodate the grades located on the site. It was San Francisco's tallest until completion of the Transamerica in 1972.

• The window structure is intended to reflect the Bay window style which is common in the area and, along with the stylised upper recessing, presents a unique building.

• The footprint is 143' x 243'
