100 Pine Center is a class-A office building at the northwest corner of Pine Street and Front Street in San Francisco's Financial District.[5] The building is 145 m (476 ft) with 33 floors, and 402,500 sq ft (37,000 m2) of rentable office space, a 150-car garage including 30 valet parking spaces.[5][6]
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 By the start of the dot-com bubble the property, then owned by Grosvenor Properties,[7] was outdated and suffered from deferred capital maintenance.[6] In 1997 it was purchased by Walton Capital,[7] which invested heavily in upgrades, re-measured the building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]
Tenants
The tower houses many daytime office workers. Major tenants include the New York Life Insurance Company. As of 2007 it is tied with 45 Fremont Center as the twenty-third 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.[11]
The Consulate-General of Ireland is in the building.[12]
