Tower to Have One of the Most Robust Foundations

SAN FRANCISCO—Equivalent to nearly four Olympic swimming pools, the 11,000-cubic-yard foundation slab is now in place for Park Tower at Transbay.

Construction crews wove 4 million pounds of rebar into the concrete base, which is anchored 25 feet into bedrock.
