San Francisco Skyscrapers

509 Howard Street (also called Foundry Square III) is a proposed skyscraper set to rise in San Francisco's South of Market district. It will be one of four high-rise towers at an integrated site called Foundry Square. The tower will stand 500 feet (152 m) above street level. The skyscraper project is notable for exceeding the local 200 foot (61 m) height limit by a wide margin. The building, when built, will soar significantly taller than most buildings in the surrounding area.

San Francisco City Hall re-opened in 1915, in its open space area in the city's Civic Center, is a Beaux-Arts monument to the City Beautiful movement that epitomized the high-minded American Renaissance of the 1880s to 1917. The structure's dome is the fifth largest in the world. The present building is actually a replacement for an earlier City Hall that was completely destroyed during the 1906 earthquake.

The San Francisco Federal Building is a building designed by the architectural firm Morphosis. It is located at 90 7th Street on the corner of Mission and 7th Streets in South of Market, San Francisco. Thom Mayne of Morphosis designed the building using a concept of "resistance," juxtaposing gray concrete walls with custom, zig-zagged 9Wood wood ceilings. The building was expected to be completed in 2005, but construction issues and delays pushed the project completion to 2007.
