The adjective “Mediterranean,” often used to describe the climate, could not have been more apt on this trip. And, more importantly it is a good, rather than a bad, thing.Īdmittedly, my recent visit was on spectacularly beautiful, cloudless days.

Basic economics: demand outstrips supply. That is why real estate in San Francisco is expensive. A lot of those people are also highly skilled and/or unusually creative.

The park also features a 1,200-foot interactive Bus Jet Fountain, which is triggered by buses moving through the terminal below and uplit by LED strip lights.San Francisco is one of the most desirable places on the planet to live, both because of its climate and because of its amenities. Speakers, wi-fi antennas, cameras, and fire alarm strobes were integrated into the light columns to eliminate visual clutter and prevent distraction from the landscape. Illuminated light columns with frosted lenses cast a soft, warm glow across walking paths and landscape. To enable the park to be active both day and night, HLB conducted careful study of illuminance levels, contrast ratios, and glare to ensure occupant comfort and safety throughout the park during evening hours. The 5.4-acre park features a half mile long walking path, children’s playground, retail areas, and a variety of seating areas, providing respite and activity for park patrons. Capping the rooftop of the Salesforce Transit Center, the iconic Salesforce Park serves as a central gathering place for residents of San Francisco.
