Green Space Complements High-Rise Landscape of SoMa

Rincon Place measures about the length of a football field and is approximately 50 feet wide.

SAN FRANCISCO—Rincon Place, a new park that runs east-west between Main and Beale Streets in SoMa/Rincon Hill, is now complete. The new open space is situated between the Bay Area Metro Center regional agencies’ headquarters and Tishman Speyer’s community Lumina, and will provide local residents and office workers alike with a community gathering space. The park was introduced at a Metropolitan Transportation Commission meeting and neighborhood community event last week.

“Rincon Place adds an open green space to the growing high-rise urban landscape of SoMa,” says Carl Shannon, senior managing director at Tishman Speyer. “The new park provides an inviting neighborhood gathering space, and is a great example of a private/public partnership between our firm and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.”
