This is one of the reasons I love living in San Francisco! People dream big here and you can see that in the buildings and the history. It's like the Gold Rush is still alive. This gives me hope and inspiration to go after my own seemingly impossible dreams! It takes courage to build a company, a building, even a city, and I commend those great men and women that pulled together vast resources to do things like this.
- Jesse Boyd, 34, Laurel Heights - quoted in the Chronicle
well said! I was really amazed at these exciting ideas.

A Cesar Pelli inspired work.
The footprint of Salesforce Tower rests on land fill near San Francisco's original waterfront, an area prone to soil liquefaction during earthquakes. To account for this seismic risk, the tower uses a design that is modeled to withstand the strongest earthquakes expected in the region. Its foundation includes 42 piles driven down nearly 300 feet (91 m) to bedrock and a 14-foot (4.3 m) thick foundation mat.
Below:
Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects (PCPA), the Transbay Transit Center is about 1,430 feet (440 m) long and 165 feet (50 m) wide. Shown is the main entrance to the Grand Hall, located at Mission and Fremont Streets. The outer "skin", made of white aluminum, is perforated in the pattern of a Penrose tiling.
The transit center was abruptly ordered closed on September 25, 2018 following the discovery of a crack in a steel beam supporting the rooftop park. A crack in a second beam was found the next day. As of May 2019 repair of these beams is complete.
