We are proud to announce The Transamerica Pyramid and 505 Sansome were each awarded the prestigious Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council in recognition of on-going energy and environmental practices. The Pyramid and 505 Sansome join only a handful of existing buildings in the United States to qualify for LEED Gold certification - making them two of the most environmentally sustainable properties in the country.

The Pyramid and 505 Sansome's LEED Gold certifications are the culmination of a steadfast commitment to sustainability, water conservation, energy efficiency, waste diversion, indoor environmental quality, and innovation.

The Transamerica Pyramid now:

  • Generates up to 70% of its own electricity
  • Pays 25% less per year for utilities
  • Recycles or composts 70% of ongoing consumables
    that would have been sent to landfills

505 Sansome is among the few buildings
in San Francisco to offer tenants:

  • Operable windows to take advantage of fresh air
  • A premiere location adjacent to Redwood Park
  • Computerized, multi-zone HVAC system with
    automated energy management system
  • Showers, lockers and bicycle storage to
    encourage alternative transportation methods
