The Gateway is a ten-acre project including shops, office space, 1,200+ housing units, and a series of second-level plazas and pedestrian bridges separated from automobile traffic. It was designed by landscape architects Sasaki, Walk-er and Associates in conjunction with architects Wurster, Bernardi & Emmons and DeMars and Reay. The residential portion was completed in 1967. It consists of two 22-story buildings, two 25-story buildings, and 58 townhouses. The housing units are constructed over twostory garages covered by landscaped plazas, which are accessible via pedestrian bridges and stairs from the street level. The commercial component includes approximately 62,000 square feet of office and retail space that includes Safeway, Bank of America, 42nd Moon Theater, Starbucks, and other restaurants/services.
