Boston Properties and Hines’ Salesforce Tower is not only the tallest tower in San Francisco at 1,070 feet, but also offers one of the most sustainable and greenest buildings in the city. Hines Senior Managing Director Paul Paradis said during the grand opening ceremony for the tower Tuesday that the building has some of the cleanest indoor air quality in the city.

Additionally, the building's ceiling heights are much higher than traditional San Francisco offices. He said buildings with normal ceiling heights would have to span 90 stories to reach the height of the 61-storey Salesforce Tower.

“This is a place where workers want to come to work,” he said.

Each floor was designed with employees and the environment in mind. Floors have a differing mix of phone booths, conference rooms and training rooms based on the needs of the workers, Salesforce Senior Communications Specialist, Real Estate Benny Ebert-Zavos said.

Employees have access to balance boards they can use at their desks for a mini workout. Each floor also has a meditation room.

Salesforce floors have interior staircases connecting three floors at a time, allowing employees to go back and forth between floors. Salesforce Tower Vice President of Global Workplace and Strategic Events Michele Schneider said some teams are just too big to be on one floor.

Each floor has a social lounge that faces Salesforce Park. The fifth floor will provide employees with direct access to the 5.4-acre park, which has a 1.8-mile track that employees could use during a break. The park also includes an outdoor amphitheater, an open grass area, a children’s play area, a café and a restaurant.
