After the Loma Prieta earthquake, in 1989, damage spurred demolitions and redevelopment, and, during the housing bubble of the early two-thousands, condominiums bloomed. (Salesforce, San Francisco’s largest private employer, has a twenty-five-year, hundred-and-ten-million-dollar naming-rights contract, and occupies three buildings along the transit center’s perimeter, including its eponymous tower.)
“But they also do a lot of work. The structure has four levels: the ground floor with entrances, retail space, ticketing, and Muni/Golden Gate Transit boarding platforms; the second floor with retail space, food hall, offices, and Greyhound ticket counter and waiting room; the bus deck with bus bays surrounding a central waiting area; and the 5.4-acre (2.2 ha) rooftop park.Amphitheater in the rooftop parkView of Salesforce Park on top of the bus terminal Six weeks after an exuberant, heavily attended opening ceremony, workers discovered cracks in two structural steel beams. (They are notably short and generously spaced, with about four feet between them, such that they best accommodate single adults.) To support our sustainability goals and reduce traffic on city streets, we will not provide shuttles to Oracle Park from the Moscone campus and downtown Dreamforce-contracted hotels. The botanical life here, and the bird life, are two things that really have caught people’s attention, and their conversation.” He noted that many of the plants in the park were selected based on their capacity to handle dramatic shifts in climate, which helped explain their variety.Construction on the Transit Center began in 2010, with the demolition of the original Transbay Terminal, a hulking slab of a building constructed in the nineteen-thirties. The benches, pathways, and bathrooms were pristine. “So I appreciate that about it.” We paused at the southern edge of the park, with a view of the I-80 on-ramp.

Oracle Park is a 15 to 20-minute walk from Moscone Center and downtown hotels along 2nd Street.

Salesforce Park, a lush rooftop arcadia of rolling meadows, quietly reopened this past July, after being shuttered upon the discovery of cracks in structural steel beams. It is slowly returning to its role as a hub for regional and intercity bus lines.For decades, planners have been called evil or obsolete. “You can’t pause in front of one masterpiece. “I feel totally orchestrated,” Cranz said, placing her hand on the railing separating us from the plant life. “A lot of people talk about plants,” he proposed, cheerfully.
