LIST OF TALLEST BUILDINGS IN SAN FRANCISCO

This 'list of tallest buildings in San Francisco' ranks skyscrapers in San Francisco, California by height. The tallest building in San Francisco is currently the Transamerica Pyramid, built in 1972. Several taller buildings are proposed in connection with the Transbay Terminal redevelopment project. Many of the City's tallest buildings, particularly office skyscrapers^[1], date from the 1960s through 1990^[2]. There was less building activity from 1989 through 1999 due to the effects of the Loma Prieta Earthquake and a building moratorium. Construction of tall buildings resumed in 1999, although with more concern for environmental and aesthetic factors, and overall function and liveability^[3].
The two tallest and most prominent buildings in San Francisco are the Transamerica Pyramid and the Bank of America Center^[4]. Adjoining these are 17 other skyscrapers over 492 feet (150 m) in San Francisco's Financial District and Union Square, where the majority of San Francisco's tall office buildings are located. Other neighborhoods in San Francisco with tall buildings include Nob Hill^[5], Russian Hill^[6] and Pacific Heights^[7], with many older residential highrises. There is also a cluster of buildings near the Civic Center^[8]. Until recently, most of South of Market was an industrial area, but residential, hotel and mixed use skyscrapers have risen in the last few years^[9][10]. In all, San Francisco has 401 highrise buildings^[11].
Over the last few years, there have been many proposals brought up to the city. One notable development is the thirteen Transbay Project towers proposed in conjunction with the Transbay Terminal replacement project. If constructed, three of these Transbay Towers would be the first buildings in San Francisco to pass the 1,000 foot (305 meter) threshold, sometimes given as a criterion for a supertall skyscraper. Many other tall proposals have been submitted as well, such as the Sun Tower, a tower proposed to rise on Treasure Island.
