Building a supertall skyscraper in one of the most seismically active regions of North America is not easy.
But with San Francisco’s booming tech industry demanding ever more high-end office space, engineers had to develop ways to push buildings to new heights. Rising from the corner of First and Mission Streets in San Francisco’s South of Market or “SoMa” district is the city’s tallest structure; the 326m (1,070 foot) Salesforce Tower.
Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, the tower stands over 200 feet taller than the Transamerica Pyramid and provides 1.6 million square feet of office space across 61 storeys. 55% of the building is occupied by its main tenant; Salesforce.
