The firm has moved out the three-floor offices at 45 Fremont Street, spanning a larger 55,000 square feet. The firm has been in the Fremont Street offices for five years. The firm has over three hundred employees in its San Francisco offices, over a hundred in Oakland, and eighty in San Jose.
“San Francisco has been our home for 57 years,” said Hao Ko, co-Managing Director of Gensler’s San Francisco office. “It’s the founding office of Gensler and an important hub office in the firm. This new lease reflects our deep commitment to the City of San Francisco and the business community here.”
Gensler is indeed the largest architecture firm in the United States, with a revenue of $1.37 billion last year, according to the Architectural Record, and nearly seven thousand employees in 52 offices worldwide.
The new offices in 220 Montgomery are expected to open by the summer of next year.
