415 Natoma

Anchoring Brookfield’s four-acre 5M Development in San Francisco’s SoMa District, 415 Natoma is a 25-story, 640,000 sq. ft. Class-A office tower designed to foster innovation and community. The tower was built on a tight site adjacent to a historic 110-year-old structure and within a complex urban environment that required precise coordination with concurrent construction and renovation activities on the remaining 5M parcels.

Notable features include:

• 27,000+ square feet of outdoor terraces and half an acre of open green space
• State-of-the art office space and two levels of underground parking
• Innovative buckling-restrained brace (BRB) system replacing a traditional concrete core, opening the south façade to daylight
• Advanced HVAC and greywater systems
• Publicly accessible indoor-outdoor gathering spaces with adjacent retail and dining
• Dynamic exterior features with multiple terraces, three curtainwall types and two primary storefront materials

A focus on sustainable design and wellness helped the project achieve triple certification: LEED Gold, WELL Health and Safety, and Fitwell Community. 415 Natoma was also awarded ENR Best Project Winner for 2022.

Schuff Steel Contributions:

• Steel Fabrication & Erection: Schuff Steel fabricated and erected 7,000 tons of steel for 415 Natoma, delivering structural solutions on a densely packed urban site with limited laydown area.
• Innovative BRB Integration: Our team supported the installation of the BRB system which allowed for exterior elevator core placement and unobstructed southern exposure.
• Efficient Construction Sequencing: In close collaboration with the project team, Schuff Steel navigated significant supply chain challenges and contributed to the project’s on-time and on-budget completion.

415 Natoma stands as a hallmark of urban architectural innovation and sustainability, not only elevating the San Francisco skyline but also redefining the modern workplace.
