San Francisco saw a number of new buildings this past decade - and most are linked to the region's tech boom.
A 2013 photo of the city's skyline is void of Salesforce Tower's imposing figure. In 2019, it stands high and proud well above the well-known Transamerica Pyramid, beating out the 50-year-old building as the city's highest building.
And other additions to the city, like ultra-luxury condo high-rises and a $1.4 billion world-class sports center backed by Silicon Valley tech money, show just how integrated big tech has become into the fabric of the cityscape and its infrastructure.
Unsurprisingly, most of the buildings on this list are in the city's East Cut neighborhood. This is where a high concentration of condo high-rises and tech offices -like Salesforce, Facebook, Google, and Slack - have set up shop. The neighborhood also sits within District 6, a district that has seen 60% of the city's housing development in the past decade amidst San Francisco's notoriously stringent zoning restrictions.
