Welcome back to our new series, Building Profiles. Last time we took a good look at one of San Francisco’s older condo buildings, The Bellaire Tower. This time, we’re taking things into the 21st Century. As a matter of fact, this building was the first skyscraper to be completed in the 21st Century in San Francisco.
Part 5-star hotel, part luxury residences, the Four Seasons of San Francisco is a magnificent complex located at 757 Market between 3rd and 4th Streets. You can access the hotel from Stevenson Street, a small alleyway off of 3rd.
