UC Law SF is barreling ahead with a $288 million redo of a historic tower

UC Law San Francisco’s $288 million renovation of a nearly 100-year-old tower at the edge of the Civic Center and Tenderloin neighborhoods crossed a major milestone in recent days with the completion of major structural work on the building’s gutted core. “We got the building topped off before the rains come,” said a clearly pleased David Seward, UC Law’s chief financial officer. Seward is helping lead the transformation of the 28-story tower — once the West Coast’s tallest hotel skyscraper — into a modern hub of student housing, classrooms, athletics and more.
