Plans for a new development in the Bay Area outside of San Francisco have passed a new milestone. Demolition permits have been filed to remove a four-story structure at 415 20th Street in Downtown Oakland that exists on a site where developer Hines has proposed to construct a 39-story office high-rise.

The 189.7 m (623-foot tall) tower, designed by architects Pickard Chilton, will yield over a million square feet of floor area with 897,950 square feet for office space, 2,280 square feet for retail, and 149,090 square feet for the 262-car garage.

The building, based on the renderings will have protruding mullions, bold metal columns rising up the full length of the tower, and an X-brace motif creating functional decoration over the floor-to-ceiling curtainwall system.

The tower will rise above a podium-topping POPOS, a double-height area carved into the building. The POPOS will offer the public an elevated view of the city with landscaping and outdoor furniture. The future tenant of 415 20th will have the option of making the rooftop deck open to the public or a private employee amenity.
