Co-developed by the San Francisco Giants and Tishman Speyer, Mission Rock is a 28 acre, 3.8 million square foot mixed-use waterfront development adjacent to Giants’ Oracle Stadium. Internationally renowned architecture firms Henning Larsen, MVRDV, Studio Gang, and WORKac were engaged to design Phase 1, a series of mid and high-rise mixed-use and residential buildings, The Canyon, Mission Rock Building B, Visa Market Support Center, and Verde.
Recognizable for its rugged red-brown texture referencing Californian rock formations, The Canyon consists of a 5-story plinth and 23-story tower featuring a landscaped public “canyon” that cuts diagonally through the plinth. Mission Rock Building B offers a flexible floor plate design in its 8-story building to accommodate a variety of tenancies including commercial and life sciences companies, setting a new wave of workplaces that connect interior and exterior spaces. Inspired by the Yosemite National Park geological formations, The Visa Market Support Center is a 13-story office building featuring a white, rugged facade with ascending terraces. Verde, a 23-story mixed-use tower, incorporates a facade decorated in green glazed ceramic tiles, and its floorplates are carved at the corners to create outdoor terraces, maximizing sunlight exposure while providing wind protection.
Heintges provided building envelope consulting services for all phases for each of the four buildings.
