Construction Boom in San Francisco

There is a ton of construction going on in San Francisco. It seems like the economy is great in the city, and construction cranes are popping up like weeds in the South of Market (SOMA) area. Here are some of the highlights: The Salesforce Tower, a 1,070 ft, 61 story office tower to be completed in 2017. The building is in the middle of the photograph above, courtesy of www.ctbuh.org.

181 Fremont Street is an 802 ft, 54 story mixed use skyscraper under construction adjacent to the Salesforce Tower and will be complete come early 2016. Photo courtesy of www.181sanfrancisco.com.

45 Lansing is a 430 ft, 320 unit, 39 story condo tower whose construction started in 2013 and is to be completed next year. Photo above courtesy of www.socketsite.com.

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) is closed until 2016 for an expansion to have enough room for the rapidly expanding collection of art that the museum has. The SFMOMA says that it has outgrown its current home in every way. Photo courtesy of www.sfmoma.org.
