Final Design for SF’s Transbay Transit Center Includes Rooftop Park

All of our patient waiting has finally paid off – the final design for San Francisco’s new transit center was finally revealed last week! The San Francisco Transbay Transit Center is designed to hold 12 transit systems and will also house the future high speed rail terminus. Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli, the final design for the center includes some changes from past incarnation, most notably an awesome 5.4 acre green roof and public park that will have an amphitheater for music performances and movie screenings. Downtown SF is getting better and better, now let’s get that HSR line under construction!
