The award-winning Embarcadero Center is the commercial component of a major urban renewal project. Built in phases, the eight-block, 4.3 million-square foot (400,000 sm) site is comprised of five office towers, two hotels with 800 and 360 rooms respectively, and a multi-level pedestrian retail spine that spans the center of the site. Landscaped plazas and bridges link the retail space to the office towers, hotels, and the magnificent Justin Herman Plaza.
Embarcadero Center was designed to support pedestrian activity and promote community gatherings, while maintaining private facilities for the needs of the business community and hotel guests.
