JPMorgan Chase Building

If this is your destination, I highly suggest commuting using a Muni or a BART because parking here is going to be difficult. Although parking can be found nearby, if you’re looking to save money, commuting is in your best interest.
To go to a floor, you must go to the front desk and show them your credentials. When you’re approved, you can go to the elevators on the side. There’s three entrances depending on the floor you’re going to. A staff is there to make sure you have access.
One of my favorite part about working here is the view. I’ve never worked in a building this high before and I just like the fact that I could see San Francisco from a different point of view. Although it can be noisy sometimes.
Fire escapes are color coded so if you ever need to refer to which side you’re on, all you need to do is say the color of the walls.
What I also like about this building is the friendly front desk agents and staff I encounter when I go in for work. They make your morning if they’re super nice. I’ve had good experiences the times I’ve been here.
Would love to show my friends where I work!

Nice building!
In January 2010, I attended a VITA/​TCE lecture training session for three consecutive Saturdays. I walk by this building since Golden Gate University is the next building over. The building had concierge staff members at the front desk so that is always a good thing.
*VITA & TCE — Volunteer for Income Tax Assistance & Tax Counseling for the Elderly. This was an activity I did for volunteer work with my accounting professor and an IRS expert being advisors for this activity.
Overall, this is a very nice office building!

Chase changed there web site and did not get the credit card linked to my account.
I think there mission statement is
Chase all the customers away from Chase

Let’s talk parking!
$ 2.50 for the first hour! Four hours for $ 8.50! Do don’t be a goof circling all over the financial district looking for a meter. If you can find Anthony Street, a hidden alley between First and Second (you can even turn left off Mission), you save 75% off the going rate, 15% less than the meter rate. It’s covered, it’s secure, and there are friendly attendants.
Why here instead of the nearly identical 55 Second Street lot across the street?
560 Mission is a lot cooler than 55 Second. For $ 2.50 you get a really nice ramp, a clean elevator, and one of the most serenely beautiful modernist building lobbies in town. Guards stand alert and erect as you walk through the building lobby past some very good modern sculpture, while a tall bamboo forest ripples just outside the glass lobby wall. 55 Second is one of those silly postmodernist buildings, all show but no depth, like a cake with too much icing. Forget it, your brain will be rot. If you have an important meeting downtown, start off right by parking in a high class building.

This is one of San Francisco’s most successful architectures. Cesar Pelli brought an architecture to the city that is formidable, delightful and is a evidence of accumulated knowledge. The green lattice work encompasses the space for a delightful and lyrical view. The lattice work make the buildings silhouette that more progressive and it is hard to tell where the building lines begin and end. The dark green metallic work brings the building to a harmonious relevancy and juxposition between old and current. There is a power containment of the building but it is soft and more importantly content and confident. San Francisco has a lot of dreadful architecture but this piece is simple and pleasing and wish there was more comfortable architecture and after all isn’t that the ethos of the city?

Great building; it’s almost all glass. The architect, Cesar Pelli & Associates, did a great job.
