Building History
The company Fremont Properties first built and owned 50 Fremont Street. They sold the building in the year 2000. Later, a company called Hines bought it. Hines then sold the building to TIAA-CREF in late 2004.
Hines Interests Limited Partnership managed the building for many years. They stopped managing it on February 12, 2015.
The building was designed by a famous architecture firm, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Its design includes special stepped-back sections at each corner. The top of the building looks like old Art Deco skyscrapers.
In January 2012, Salesforce.com announced a big plan. They signed an 18-year lease to use a large part of the building. This lease was for about 400,000 square feet of space. It cost them 339 million US dollars.
Later, in November 2014, Salesforce decided to buy the whole building. They bought it from TIAA-CREF.
On February 12, 2015, Salesforce officially purchased the building. They paid 637.8 million dollars for it. After buying it, Salesforce renamed the building to Salesforce West.
Salesforce West is now part of a larger group of buildings. This group forms Salesforce's main campus in the city. Other buildings include Salesforce East and the Salesforce Tower. Cushman & Wakefield currently manages Salesforce West.
