Its dynamic façade, made of *Solarban*® 70 glass by Vitro, and its LEED® Silver certification underscore its commitment to both aesthetic innovation and environmental responsibility. This year marks two decades of *Solarban*® 70 glass, the industry’s most trusted and widely specified triple-silver-coated low-e glass. With over 700 million square feet shipped since its debut, *Solarban*® 70 glass has become a benchmark in performance and design. In a standard one-inch insulating glass unit (IGU), *Solarban*® 70 glass delivers a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.27 and a visible light transmittance (VLT) of 64%. The ideal balance of VLT, solar control and exceptional clarity provided by *Solarban*® 70 glass aligned perfectly with architect WRNS Studio’s vision for a dynamic and engaging design. Featuring a metal facade with flowing curves that reflect sunlight and a translucent curtain wall design that brings natural light into its eight stories, 700 Santana Row also features a breezeway that connects the public plaza to the office lobby and parking garage for better accessibility and connectivity. At the center, the building includes a public plaza that serves as a space for community gatherings, events and activities. 700 Santana Row showcases a range of environmentally sustainable features, including cool roofs, water-efficient landscaping, an eco-friendly irrigation system and the use of recycled materials. This innovative development transforms its surroundings, elevating the district from a renowned shopping and entertainment hub into a dynamic, integrated space for living, working and leisure.
