555 Mission Street is a 33 story, 147 m (482 ft) office tower in the South of Market area of San Francisco, California. Construction of the tower began in 2006 and the tower was finished on September 18, 2008. It is the tallest office building constructed in San Francisco since the 1980s.
The building is the part of a new generation of skyscrapers in San Francisco's downtown built on Mission Street since 2000, including The Paramount, the St. Regis Museum Tower, Millennium Tower, 101 Second Street, and JP MorganChase Building.
The tower was originally approved by the Planning Commission on April 5, 2001 to rise 137.5 m (451 ft) and 30 stories. A revised plan, adding three stories and raising the height to 147 m (482 ft), was approved on December 13, 2001. However, due to the downturn in the office market after the dot-com bust, developer Tishman Speyer froze the project waiting for economic conditions to improve. In 2006, five years after the building was approved for construction, work on the tower finally began.
In January 2008, Tishman Speyer signed DLA Piper to occupy 82,000 sq ft (8,000 m2) floors 22 to 26 of the tower. In March 2008, law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher agreed to take up 60,000 sq ft (6,000 m2) of office space in the tower. In October 2009, Intellectual Property law firm Novak Druce + Quigg moved into the 34th floor penthouse of the building. As of summer 2008, close to half of the building's office space has been leased, with the possibility of more tenants moving in. In 2010, Deloitte signed a 15-year lease to occupy 10 floors of the building, becoming the anchor tenant, and taking up most of the remaining space.
In June 2012, Tishman Speyer sold the building to Union Investment for US$446.5 million.
