First Market Tower, Office skyscraper in Financial District, San Francisco, United States.
First Market Tower is a modern office building with 39 floors that rises prominently on Market Street in downtown San Francisco. The structure features extensive glass surfaces on its exterior and houses major companies in its large office spaces.
The tower was completed in 1973 and was one of the largest office buildings in the city at that time. Its construction marked a period of significant growth in San Francisco's downtown area.
The building represents the economic growth of San Francisco during the 1970s, with its design reflecting the architectural preferences of corporate America.
The building is centrally located on Market Street and is easily accessible by public transportation. As a private office building, visitor access may be limited to common areas and lobbies.
The building is among several San Francisco high-rises that required structural reinforcement due to welding techniques used during its original construction. City geological surveys identified this issue and led to improvements in future building projects.
