An Overview of Salesforce's Historic San Francisco Lease

Construction is now underway at Hines and Boston Properties' massive new tower at 415 Mission, in the heart of the booming Transbay neighborhood. When completed, the Cesar Pelli-designed building will be San Francisco's tallest skyscraper and will forever transform the city's skyline. Impressive as it may be, the tower's height isn't the only aspect of the project that's making the record books. Last week, Salesforce announced it would lease a huge portion of the building, which will now bear the company's name, in what represents the largest commercial real estate deal in San Francisco's history. Now that the lease has been confirmed, real enthusiasts can pour over nitty-gritty details on the prodigious deal.
