Short answers, pulled from the story.
Foundry Square is located at Howard and First Streets in the South of Market neighborhood of San Francisco, near the Salesforce Transit Center. The complex places one of its four 10-story buildings on each corner of that intersection.
The design team included STUDIOS Architecture, Jim Jennings Architecture, Page and Turnbull, and landscape architect SWA Group. Webcor Builders led construction, and the developer was Wilson Equity Office, now known as Wilson Meany.
Foundry Square was built in phases. Foundry Square II and IV were completed in 2003, Foundry Square I in 2007, and Foundry Square III in April 2014 after Tishman Speyer acquired entitlements in April 2012.
Current tenants include the law firm Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe, STUDIOS Architecture, Slack (which used the complex as its headquarters), and the NASDAQ Entrepreneurial Center.
As of May 2023, vacancy rates varied widely across the four buildings. Foundry Square II (405 Howard Street) had a 1.6% vacancy rate, while Foundry Square III (505 Howard Street) had a 97.6% vacancy rate and Foundry Square IV (500 Howard Street) stood at 95.4%.
Richard Deutsch created a stainless steel sculpture called Time Signature, which is installed in the public open space at the center of the complex. The corners of the intersection also feature tree bosques, over-scaled pots, and ground-floor cafes as part of the landscape design by SWA Group.
