The Transamerica Pyramid celebrated its half-century anniversary. And they say it's never too late for a career shift. Here’s what's next for the iconic building.
The Transamerica Pyramid, a defining peak of the San Francisco skyline, celebrated its 50th anniversary on Tuesday with plans to renovate the entire block — a $400 million project that will add retail and public spaces plus an elite private club.
“We want people to come to the pyramid, we want people to come to the park, and really be part of making this icon more iconic,” said Shvo. Norman Foster, the lead architect on the renovation, said he was inspired by the vision of the original architect, William Pereira, in using the unique shape of the building to bring light to the street. Foster wants to bridge the gap between “inside” and “outside” the tower, in keeping with Pereira’s philosophy.
Pandemic- and tech flight-related building vacancies are two sharp thorns in downtown’s side — the lost property tax alone could cost The City almost $200 million. The nonprofit recommends the area shift toward a “more heavily mixed-use district with residential in order to thrive and become more resilient in the future.”
