Today guests and dignitaries kicked off a series of celebrations marking the grand remastering of Transamerica Pyramid Center at a morning ceremony hosted by luxury real estate development firm SHVO. The program, held in the newly reopened Transamerica Redwood Park, included remarks from Former California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, Mayor London Breed, Pritzker Prize Laureate Lord Norman Foster and Michael Shvo, Chairman and CEO of SHVO. A fifty-year old time capsule unearthed at the base of the Pyramid, was also revealed for the first time along with plans to put the contents on public display. Guests enjoyed performances by Kronos Quartet, a string quartet founded at the time of the Pyramid’s construction, while indulging in signature dishes from Cafe Sebastian and Ama, two eagerly anticipated food concepts scheduled to open in the coming weeks at Transamerica Pyramid Center by James Beard Nominee and Finalist Chef Brad Kilgore.
