The Natomas Company, which controlled American President Lines (APL), formed a subsidiary which purchased the land and constructed the building. At the time of the completion of the building APL were the primary tenants. The lot was 10,000 sq. ft., but by purchasing air rights over the adjacent city-owned St. Mary's Square Garage, they were able to cantilever the top 18 floors 17 feet beyond the property line. As a result, a typical floor is 12,900 sq. ft., which is 129% of the site footprint. [5][6]
The architectural firm was Anshen & Allen.[7] The engineers were John J. Gould & H. J. Degenkolb (structural), Robert D. Dewell (structural), William Brewer and Associates (foundation), Eagelson Engineers (mechanical), and Charles Krieger (electrical). The landscape architects were Royston, Hanamoto & Mayes and the general contractor was Dinwiddie Construction Company. [5] The structural steel contractor, Bethleham Steel Company, fabricated 4,047 tons off structural steel and erected the frame, which was connected with 113,500 A-325 bolts and 9,500 extra strength bolts.
