The Embaradero Center is comprised of 4 buildings linked together by pedestrian walkways. The pedestrian bridge the connects building 1 to 2 is the only thats covered. Below the bridge is Front Street which is a one-way street poiting north
All the other connectors are open to the sky to let you view the many skyscrapers in the area. At each of the centers, there is an office building attached to it housing many big corporations and companies, Like the building to the right in the picture below
The walkways are landscaped and prvided with tables and chairs for the mealtime crowds. Open areas on the second floors are usually occupied by restaurants and eateries that provide validated parking for the expensive underround garage parking
At the east end of the facility, anchored by the number 4 buidling, is the bayshore. The Ferry Building butts up against the bay and the Hyatt Regency is ideally loacted for those in the area.
Once you reach the end of the last building, it opens up to Justin Herman Plaza. Vaillancourt Fountain sits at one end of the plaza. Here, Bono of U2, while holding a free concert, vandalized the fountain and caused an uproar with the citizens of the city.
