One Kearny

One Kearny is a single building comprised of three interconnected elements built at different times. It anchors a prominent corner at the end of Third Street, a major transit artery serving San Francisco’s downtown urban core. The central element, built in 1902 as the Mutual Savings Bank, is an opulent twelve-story building fashioned in the French Renaissance Revival style. At the corner is a modern twelve-story annex constructed in the mid 1960s, designed by renowned architect Charles Moore. The final piece of the triptych, our office’s contribution, is a ten-story addition completed in 2009.
