The KPMG Building is a 25-story, 100 m (330 ft) Class A office building located at 55 Second Street in the Financial District of San Francisco, California, designed by Heller Manus, and completed in 2002.

History

When the building was first proposed by Jaymont Properties in 1989, the project was called One Second Street. The development was slowed by the early 1990s recession in the United States but was eventually approved in February 1998.

In November 1999, Jaymont sold the development site to a partnership of Cousins Properties Inc. and Myers Development Company for US$22 million. Groundbreaking took place in May 2000 and the building was completed in March 2002.

In September 2004, Cousins/Myers sold the building to an affiliate of Hines Interests Limited Partnership for US$146.4 million.

Like many other buildings in the area, 55 Second Street contains a public space, described by the San Francisco Chronicle as "a big room with hardwood floors, skylights and grand leather chairs, like a private club", which is located on a mezzanine level.

Retrieved 2015-08-02. ... most of the streets are sunny and many have public plazas, an amenity the city requires of potential developers. There are 64 of these public places in private buildings all sandwiched in less than a square city mile. One of the best of these public spaces is at 55 Second St., on a mezzanine up a set of polished stairs. Here is a big room with hardwood floors, skylights and grand leather chairs, like a private club. The public is welcome to sit, read, eat lunch or just hang out.
