The St. Regis Museum Tower rises 484 feet over Yerba Buena Gardens to be the 36th tallest tower in the Bay Area planned or built. The mixed-use building has added 260 hotel rooms and 102 residential units to the San Francisco housing market in SoMa, along with the Museum for the African Diaspora. Skidmore Owings & Merrill is responsible for the design.

Opened in 2005, the 42-story building yields 775,650 square feet from the 33,030 square foot parcel. The Museum of the African Diaspora faces Mission Street, where a curtainwall floods the 20,000 square foot institution with natural light.

SOM describes the building as such, writing that “the building’s precast concrete exterior has deep-set windows that cast shifting shadows, dramatically changing the facade’s appearance over the course of the day. The project sensitively addresses the character of its urban setting.”

The property last sold in 2016 for $166 million according to city records, changing hands from Marriott International to the Qatar Investment Authority. Chapi Chapo Design helped with renovations of the guest rooms and meeting spaces in late 2020.
