Building History
This building, at 50 Fremont Street, was first built by a company called Fremont Properties. Over the years, it was sold a few times. In 2004, a company named TIAA-CREF bought it.
The building was designed by a company called Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. They made it with stepped sections at the corners. The top of the building looks like the style of old Art Deco skyscrapers.
In 2012, a big tech company called Salesforce decided to rent a large part of the building. They signed a long lease for 18 years. Later, in 2014, Salesforce agreed to buy the whole tower.
Salesforce officially bought the building in 2015 for over $637 million. They then renamed it Salesforce West. This building is now part of a group of Salesforce buildings in the city. Other buildings include Salesforce East and the Salesforce Tower.
