Studio Gang, the architecture and urban design firm led by Jeanne Gang, has completed Verde, a 23-story mixed-use tower in San Francisco’s Mission Rock neighborhood. Verde marks the final building in Phase One of the Mission Rock development, a 28-acre transformation of the city’s waterfront. Designed as the social heart of the neighborhood, Verde emphasizes the city’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle and contributes to a broader design vision for the new district, shaped by a cohort led by Studio Gang.
Verde is instantly recognizable for its green-colored glazed ceramic cladding, which provides a unique variation in color and texture across its surface. This distinctive exterior material complements the tower’s function, which includes 254 residential units — 59 of which are allocated for middle-income households at below-market rates to address San Francisco’s housing needs. The design integrates urban living with nature through outdoor terraces on every floor, which maximize sunlight and protect residents from wind, all while offering sweeping views of San Francisco and its waterfront.
Studio Gang的设计师将Verde综合大楼的转角处综合气候变化和可持续发展等因素进行了独特的设计。建筑地坪线高于海平面有5英尺,能够有效地抵御海平面上升和风暴潮等潜在威胁。该大楼设计安装了节能系统,可利用中水灌溉植被,还可联合地区能源工厂给大楼进行供暖和制冷。室外露台种植有当地植被,可吸引鸟类和蝴蝶等动物,能够促进城市生物多样性发展。该场地内设计有250多个自行车停车位,周边还有公交站,方便人们乘坐公交,绿色出行。
The Verde tower at Mission Rock is designed by the architects at Studio Gang with climate resiliency and environmental sustainability in mind. Positioned five feet above sea level, Verde is built to withstand rising seas and storm surges. It also integrates energy-efficient systems, reuses grey-water for irrigation, and draws on a District Energy Plant for heating and cooling. The sky deck features plants native to the region, fostering urban biopersity by attracting pollinators like birds and butterflies. Additionally, the building encourages sustainable transportation with over 250 bicycle parking spaces and easy access to public transit.
On the ground floor, Verde contributes to the neighborhood’s character with shops, a café, and public-facing features like a living wall and a water bottle refill station. Residents enjoy extensive amenities, including a fitness center, lounges, a games room, and a sky deck with panoramic views of Oracle Park and the Bay. The outdoor spaces include shared dining areas, a barbecue, and a fire pit, promoting social interaction and connection to the surrounding environment.

Verde综合大楼是Mission Rock开发项目初始阶段的新建建筑之一,开发项目主要改造的是中央滨水区,面积大小是28英亩。Mission Rock属于公私合营企业项目,与铁狮门(Tishman Speyer)、旧金山巨人队(San Francisco Giants)及旧金山港(Port of San Francisco)合作开发。综合大楼内不仅规划有500多套住宅,还规划有600000平方英尺大小的商业、办公和基础服务设施空间。项目第一阶段是开发一个盆地公园,内部包含有5英亩大小的绿地和建筑,场地内建筑由MVRDV和Henning Larsen.设计。
Studio Gang带领整个设计团队定制Mission Rock开发项目的设计宗旨,即努力提升单个建筑和公共环境的质量,致力于建造一个统一和谐的城市家园。在开工前进行协作检查,确保开发项目第一阶段的所有建筑均符合这一原则。该开发项目的最终目标是创造一个以Verde为中心的社区,并能够与旧金山最具代表的活力地区相提并论。
Verde is one of several new buildings that form part of Mission Rock’s initial phase. The 28-acre development, spearheaded by Mission Rock Partners — a collaboration between Tishman Speyer, the San Francisco Giants, and the Port of San Francisco — aims to transform the Central Waterfront area. Mission Rock introduces over 500 new homes, 600,000 square feet of retail and office space, and extensive public amenities. The first phase includes the opening of China Basin Park, a five-acre green space, and additional buildings designed by leading architecture including MVRDV and Henning Larsen.
Before construction began, Studio Gang led the design cohort responsible for establishing guiding principles across the Mission Rock development. The cohort worked to create a unified architectural vision that would enhance both inpidual buildings and the public realm. Collaborative review sessions ensured that the designs of all Phase One buildings adhered to this shared framework. The goal was to create a neighborhood with a community-centric focus that matches the vitality of San Francisco’s most iconic districts.
