List of tallest buildings in San Francisco

From SFBARE

The tallest building in San Francisco, California is the Transamerica Pyramid. There has not been a new tallest in San Francisco since the completion of the Transamerica Pyramid in 1972, but that may change in the next few years. The city went on a Manhattanization wave from the 1960s to 1990, so many of the tallest buildings, moreover, office skyscrapers in San Francisco are dated from 1960 to 1990. Due to the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989, for a decade, until 1999, there was little building activity in San Francisco. However, in the last few years, that has changed, as the city is now experiencing a second wave of Manhattanization.

Under Construction and Approved

Residential skyscrapers comprise much of the highrises that are being constructed in this second Manhattanization wave. With a few exceptions, much of the residential development occurs in the South of Market area, especially in Rincon Hill and Mission Bay. However, as office vacancy rates are dropping in downtown San Francisco, a few office towers are likely to be constructed as well. This second wave of highrises will significantly alter the San Francisco skyline as well, such as One Rincon Hill South Tower, a skyscraper rising out of Rincon Hill, where there are no completed skyscrapers currently.

Proposed

Over the last two-three years, there have been many proposals brought up to the city, most notably the fourteen (five Renzo Piano towers, nine Transbay) Transbay Project towers. The Transbay Project is a replacement of the current run-down Transbay Terminal that will be funded by the fourteen towers. In addition, these Transbay towers will create a new neighborhood in the northeastern South of Market area and three of these towers could possibly the tallest supertall skyscrapers on the West Coast. Many other tall notable proposals have been submitted as well, such as the Treasure Island Tower, Sheraton Palace Hotel Residential Tower and the stale proposal of the tri-tower complex of Harbor Village Resort, all over 60 stories tall.
