One Maritime Plaza

One Maritime Plaza is a striking modernist office tower in San Franciscos Financial District, recognizable by its signature X-braced steel exterior and elevated garden plaza. Completed in 1967 as the Alcoa Building, it sits within the Golden Gateway redevelopment area and is surrounded by an elevated park and public art, with easy access to nearby business hubs, the Ferry Building, and the Embarcadero waterfront, making it a worthwhile stop for both work and sightseeing.

The complex is built atop a multi-level city-owned garage directly below Maritime Plaza, so most visitors rely on structured parking rather than limited, highly competitive street parking in the busy Financial District. Traffic around the building is typically dense on weekdays and during commute hours, so arranging parking near One Maritime Plaza in advance helps avoid circling for spaces and makes it easier to coordinate meetings or sightseeing on a tight schedule. Because local regulations, pricing, and time limits can change, visitors should always confirm current parking rules and official guidance before they arrive.
