Building Tour: 550 Vanderbilt
West facade.
Construction has wrapped up at 550 Vanderbilt, the first of four condo towers to be built at the Pacific Park mega development. Developed by Greenland Forest City Partners and designed by COOKFOX Architects, the 17-story tower is located at the eastern most fringe of the Pacific Park development. The massing of the building references the existing structures on Dean Street, matching their 60' street wall and confining the larger tower to the Vanderbilt and Pacific Street corner of the site.
