San Francisco is getting a new residential high-rise downtown. The new tower will stand in the city’s South of Market neighborhood, about two blocks from Salesforce Tower.

In an email to The Epoch Times on Nov. 4, a spokesperson for the San Francisco Planning Commission said, “The proposed project proposes to demolish the existing office building at 530 Howard Street and surface parking lot at 524 Howard Street and construct a new 72-story, approximately 795-foot, residential building.”
