Encompassing an entire city block, the building is comprised of 357,477 rentable square feet of Class "A" office and retail space. The Langdon Wilson Mumper design effortlessly integrates the sleek efficiency of contemporary architecture with traditional elegance and latest technology. The pre-cast concrete exterior and gray-tinted, spandrel glass bay windows create a distinct identity for the building.
The unique open-air lobby of 550 Corporate Center provides a natural feeling of airy openness and sets a tone of professional elegance. The ground floor height is over 24 feet and provides a spacious, open environment throughout the foyer. The lobby features polished African black granite flooring. The soaring walls of the lobby are completely lined with imported Italian green verde marble. The open-air lobby affords direct access to a 16,000 square foot urban park plaza. The plaza is beautifully lined with Canary Island Date Palm trees and has lushly landscaped planters to enhance its beauty.
The building is served by an attached four-story, six-level parking structure. The building offers a full range of amenities, including an on-site deli, 24-hour security, men's and women's locker rooms with showers, and several providers of high-speed internet access. From its prestigious location, the upper floors command breath-taking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean to the west and a city skyline to the east.
