In 2003, renovation of San Francisco's Ferry Building was completed. The redevelopment effort created 65,000 square feet of first floor Marketplace space and 175,000 square feet of premium second and third floor office space. The Marketplace celebrates food in all forms and brings together the agricultural wealth and specialty food purveyors of the Greater Bay area under one roof. Its 240 foot clock tower is modeled after the 12th century bell tower in Spain's Seville Cathedral to serve as a welcoming beacon on the Bay. A columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle wrote "The waterfront without the Ferry Tower would be like a birthday cake without a candle." May all of our birthday cakes have such a majestic and bright candle!
