Texas-based developer Hines has submitted plans for a new supertall skyscraper in San Francisco that, if approved and built, could become the tallest building on the U.S. West Coast. Rising to a height of 1,225 feet (373 meters), the proposed tower at 77 Beale Street would surpass both the 1,100-foot (335 meter) Wilshire Grand Center in Los Angeles and the 1,070-foot (326 meter) Salesforce Tower in San Francisco, also co-developed by Hines.

Part of a broader redevelopment of the former Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) campus, the project would also include the restoration of two historic buildings at 215 and 245 Market Street, the conversion of an existing office building at 25 Beale Street, and the creation of a new park. In total, the mixed-use development would encompass 1.6 million square feet (148,644 square meters) of office space.

The supertall may ultimately be renamed 200 Mission, in keeping with earlier plans which were revealed in 2021. Pickard Chilton is listed as the master-plan architect for the broader site, but an architect has yet to be selected for the 77 Beale design.

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie voiced strong support for the proposal, calling it a chance to revitalize a vacant downtown block with a dynamic mix of housing, office, retail, and public space. If realized, the project would mark a significant milestone for the city’s skyline and serve as a catalyst for downtown renewal.
