The Kaiser Center resides on a 7.2-acre parcel and consists of a T-shaped, 28-story office tower (Kaiser Center I), a three-story office/retail building (Kaiser Center II) and an adjacent five-story, 1339-space parking garage with a rooftop garden. The property provides 24x7x365 on-site building personnel for access control.
A beautiful example of modern architecture, the Kaiser Center I lobby (located on first and second floors) features a combination of clean lines and rich materials and finishes. Details include terrazzo flooring, stone walls, recessed and pendant lighting and a unique indoor water feature. Built for high volume use, Kaiser Center I has 19 Westinghouse elevators serving the tower. Escalators service the 1st and 2nd floor Kaiser Center I lobby.
The Kaiser Center Roof Garden was the first roof garden built in the United States after World War ll. The project was commissioned by Kaiser Industries and was awarded to the San Francisco-based landscape architecture firm Osmudson & Staley. The meticulously maintained Kaiser Center Roof Garden is open for public enjoyment Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 p.m.
