SAN FRANCISCO — The first phase of a 2-year renovation project commences in August at Moscone Center, San Francisco's largest convention facility. The $55 million project includes cosmetic improvements to the main exhibit halls, A, B and C, and minor HVAC work in the North meeting rooms. The second phase, which will begin in December, include cosmetic upgrades to selected restrooms and the renovation of meeting rooms in Moscone North. Built in 1981 and most recently expanded in 2003, the 20-acre convention complex consists of three main buildings — Moscone North, South and West — totaling more than 2 million square feet and offering 740,000 square feet of meeting and exhibition space. The renovation project is being funded by the City of San Francisco, providing $35 million, and the San Francisco Tourism District Management Corp., which is providing $20 million. Jones Lang LaSalle's Project and Development Services group has been selected to manage the project.
