Two rooftops

The open space is two sun terraces rather than one, and the further of them sits on the historic bank building at Montgomery and Post, reached by stairs or a lift.

Not yet documented: the developer, the early tenants, who designed the open space and the date of the last recorded sale. The assessor records 165 Sutter Street's year built as 1983; Wikipedia and SPUR's POPOS guide both give Crocker Galleria's opening year as 1982. Submit an update
