Façade repairs and repainting start this month to preserve historic character of iconic downtown San Francisco landmark
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (NYSE:HPP) announced today that restoration work will commence this month at the iconic San Francisco Ferry Building. The project will include repairing portions of the building's façade, which have deteriorated due to natural weathering, as well as repainting the exterior. The new paint color, "Ferry Building Gray," was custom blended by Sherwin-Williams to represent the varied warm gray tones of the building's original Colusa sandstone.
Hudson Pacific and Allianz Real Estate acquired the Ferry Building in a joint venture in October 2018. As stewards of this world-renowned landmark, the two companies are dedicated to preserving the historic features of its Beaux Arts design, and have enlisted Architectural Resources Group (ARG), one of the leading historic restoration design firms in the country, to oversee this work. ARG will closely monitor the design and scope of the project to ensure it meets all preservation criteria and standards as agreed upon with the Port of San Francisco.
"This restoration work is key to the preservation of San Francisco's unique heritage and culture," said Elaine Forbes, Executive Director of the Port of San Francisco. "We look forward to collaborating with Hudson Pacific and Allianz to maintain the Ferry Building's rich history for future generations to enjoy."
The restoration project will take approximately two years and will be conducted in phases. The work is not expected to disrupt daily activity at the Ferry Building, including ferry services and access to restaurants, businesses or CUESA's Ferry Plaza Farmers Market.
