Why the number changed

The tower opened as Shaklee Terraces and was later renumbered from 444 Market Street to One Front Street, because four is an unlucky number in several Asian cultures. Its facade closely follows Emil Fahrenkamp's Shell-Haus, built in Berlin in 1931. The Shaklee Corporation left for Pleasanton in 1999.

Not yet documented: the developer, the early tenants and who designed the open space. Wikipedia records completion in 1979 under the original address of 444 Market Street; the assessor records 1981. Submit an update
