Salesforce Tower Opens as San Francisco's Tallest Building

Salesforce's first employees moved into San Francisco's new 1,070-foot Salesforce Tower, the anchor of the Transbay district and the city's tallest skyscraper.

Salesforce Tower, a 61-story, 1,070 ft (326 m) tower at 415 Mission Street designed by Cesar Pelli, is San Francisco's tallest building^[2][3]
It officially opened on Monday 8 January 2018 with the first tenants moving in, when it was 97% leased^[2][3]
Groundbreaking was 27 March 2013; Salesforce signed a 714,000 sq ft lease on 11 April 2014 and has since expanded to eventually 36 floors; cost was US$1.1 billion^[2][3]
Developed by Hines and Boston Properties, which bought Hines' remaining 5% in May 2019; the last Pelli building completed in his lifetime^[2]
An LED light sculpture of 11,000 LEDs is visible up to 30 miles away; it won CTBUH Best Tall Building Worldwide in 2019^[2]
