26 High-Rise Projects Changing San Francisco's Skyline
San Francisco's real estate market is hot, hot, hot right now, and that means developers are salivating. Right now cranes can be spotted all over town, but only a couple of 'hoods are zoned for highrise projects. Below is a roundup of 26 of the most high-profile towers under construction, approved or planned, in handy map form. These projects will deliver some of the tallest buildings in the city, contribute to revitalizing dilapidated areas, and increase neighborhood vibe in mostly commercial areas. The tipline's always open, and you can leave comment after the jump if a building you've been eying was left off the map.

Trinity Place

55 Ninth
This 17-flor apartment tower, by developer Avalon Bay, now dubbed AVA, is rising quickly across from the future Twitter headquarters. The glass-enveloped structure will add 260 units to the already busy Mid-Market area.

Lumina
The "sister" project to the Infinity Towers across the street will feature 37- and 42-floor towers, along with 2 8-floor low-rise buildings. Designed by Arquitectonica, the 669 unit residential project is currently excavating for the foundation and basement levels.

325 Fremont
This planned tower is set for 25 stories and 118 residential units. Developer Crescent Heights is already building both Nema and 45 Lansing, so don't expect to see this one begin until the other 2 are further developed.
340 Fremont
Located on what will be a a pretty crowded block once all the proposed towers are finished, this Handel=designed tower is expected to break ground before the end of the year. At 440 feet, and 41 stories it will join towers 399 and 325 Fremont on the block, as well as One Rincon Hill and 45 Lansing just around the corner.
75 Howard

524 Howard
This proposed tower would feature up to 285 residential units in its 44-story frame with 71 parking spaces and ground-floor retail. The project has yet to receive any type of approvals, so it could be quite some time before this one breaks ground.
Mexican Museum Tower
This planned 480-foot, 47-story tower has been nothing short of controversial. After years of planning and negotiating they are currently being sued by residents of the nearby Four Seasons tower, who are also threatening a ballot measure which will make it more difficult to build just about anything in San Francisco.
One Van Ness
Plans for a 400' residential tower and attached 65' commercial building are currently working their way through environmental review. If approved and ultimately built the mixed-use project would contain around 250 dwelling units, 3 commercial units, and space for the Conservatory of Music.
100 Van Ness
While technically not new construction, a full-scale conversion of the former AAA headquarters from commercial to residential is underway. When completed this 400' tower will contain 399 units and 112 parking spaces. Topping it off will be a 29th floor roof-deck with fire pits, a hot tub, and landscaping. The swapping of masonry for a sleek new glass skin will help this tower look as good as new.
Sol
Also known as Mission Bay Block 13, this development form Equity Residential and Nibbi Construction will produce a 5-story podium building with a 16-story tower rising above. The finished product will feature 273 one- and two-bedroom units, and 273 parking spaces. Construction has already begun on this building, with expected delivery in March, 2015.
