Salesforce Tower is an iconic building on the skyline of San Francisco, and the focal point of the Transbay redevelopment area. The tower is located in the SoMa (South-of-Market) district of San Francisco, above the new transit centre which is set to become a major transportation hub for West Coast USA. At a height of 1,000 ft., it is one of the tallest buildings west of the Mississippi river.

High-rise buildings in earthquake zones must meet the same standards of safety, comfort and buildability as anywhere else, but with a whole other set of challenges.

Demolition and redevelopment of a low-rise commercial building, refurbishment of two listed towers and construction of a new 90 m tower across a 9,500 m² site, with a gross floor area of 88,000 m².

A fast-track project to convert the landmark 800-room Plaza Hotel into 182 luxury private residences, 282 hotel rooms and suites, and high-end retail space, all requiring different technical solutions.

A 138m-high, 30-storey tower, with nearly 70,000m² of construction floor area. This was the first time that WSP in Asia used Building Information Modelling (BIM) to cover all design items in a project.

The former bar and, later on, home to restaurants and a gym, will now serve as Warsaw Architecture Pavilion.

In a city with 6 of the world’s 56 skyscrapers over 350m, Shenzhen takes the next step after building tall; building with a narrative. The city’s 3rd tallest building – China Resources Headquarters Tower – invigorates the typical skyline using the form of a Spring Bamboo, a traditional Chinese synonym for life and vitality.

WSP was responsible for engineering services for Przystanek mBank located in Łódź: mechanical, electrical and sanitary services, energy modeling and BREEAM certification.

WSP provided full scope of mechanical services for this top-quality office and retail building.
