Phelan Building
The Phelan Building is an eleven storey office building in the Financial District of San Francisco.
The second of two Phelan Buildings on this site – the original Phelan Building was damaged by the 1906 earthquake and fire.
The building was designed by architect William Curlett and bears the name of one of San Francisco’s most prominent early families. Completed in 1908, the flatiron shaped building is a San Francisco Designated Landmark.
It was instantly one of the most prominent and preeminent office structures in San Francisco and, in keeping with Phelan’s strident advocacy of the City Beautiful Movement and the Burnham Plan, it greatly dignified both Market Street and the retail district with its two monumental façades.
As one of the earliest office buildings to be rebuilt after the catastrophe. Its prominence was further heightened by the choice of glazed cream terra cotta; it is probably the largest structure in the city clad with this favourite reconstruction material and an outstanding example of the desire to make of the downtown a Great White City.
This asset was commissioned by nicocn383 for his fictional city of Strathcona based on a mix of Seattle, WA and Vancouver, B.C. Essentially a rainy and green North American city on the Pacific coast.
A big "thank you" to nicocn383 for providing the excellent screenshots.

I’ve tried to make this asset as realistic as possible and therefore the geometry tri count is high and the textures large. All of the texture elements have been created specifically for this asset in order for full control over the final look.
