T3 Bayside Office Building Phase 1
T3 = Timber Talent Technology
Located in the East Bayfront Precinct, Hines describes T3 Bayside Phase 1 as an office with a soul. T3 Bayside aligns with Eastern’s portfolio of brick-and-beam structures integrated with technology, style, amenities, and sustainability. The development serves as yet another example of the expertise developed by Eastern in the construction of sustainable buildings using mass timber.
- TIMBER—Inspired by industrial buildings, timber construction provides the authentic creative energy while limiting its environmental footprint.
- TALENT—Market-leading amenities enhance productivity, elevate lifestyles and curate a tenant-driven experience that will allow companies to retain and attract top talent.
- TECHNOLOGY—Revolutionary technological advancements craft a community for innovation, ensuring employees are functioning at the height of their potential.
Achieving LEED Gold Certification, T3 Bayside measures 254,000 sq ft distributed over 10 floors plus mechanical penthouse. Amenities include rooftop patios with a 360-degree view of the city, double-height amenity office space, and underground parking.
