PROJECT DESCRIPTION

555 California Street includes the 52-story Bank of America Building and a 16-story annex totaling almost 2 million square feet of Class A office space located in the heart of the Financial District in San Francisco. Its unique “”bay window”” architectural style was designed by renowned architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Wurster, Bernardi & Emmons in 1969.

Acutherm has a long standing relationship with the building owner, resulting in numerous renovations and improvements for several tenants, including legal and capital management firms, such as Dodge & Cox, AllianceBernstein L.P., and Kirkland and Ellis LLP. These spaces feature various models of Therma-Fuser™ Systems and configuration options.
