Embarcadero Center comprises more than 3.41 million sf of office space in five office towers, 350,000 sf of retail and restaurant space and the historic Old Federal Reserve Bank. The center is the gateway to the Downtown Waterfront District.

The renovation of Embarcadero Center's retail areas is the first upgrade to the complex since its acquisition by Boston Properties two years ago. Under the direction of architectural firm Skidmore, Owing & Merrill, Boston Properties says the renovation will bring a fresh and vivid new look to its shopping and dining areas.

Among the highlights of the project will be inviting new entrances along Sacramento Street for Building One, Two and Three, the renovation of Sacramento Alley and a grand new stairway framing Justin Herman Plaza and Four Embarcadero Center.
