San Francisco's first skyscraper was the {{convert|218|ft|adj=on}} Chronicle Building, which was completed in 1890. M. H. de Young, owner of the San Francisco Chronicle, commissioned Burnham and Root to design a signature tower to convey the power of his newspaper.{{cite book|author=Carol S. Prentice|title=1906 San Francisco Earthquake Centennial Field Guides: Field Trips Associated with the 100th Anniversary Conference, 18-23 April 2006, San Francisco, California|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CwchZE54dWYC&pg=PA48|date=1 January 2006|publisher=Geological Society of America|isbn=978-0-8137-0007-6|pages=45–50}} Not to be outdone, de Young's rival, industrialist Claus Spreckels, purchased the San Francisco Call in 1895 and commissioned a tower of his own that would dwarf the Chronicle Building.{{cite book | last=Korom | first=Joseph J. | pages= [https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_JVzYO1TyZ6AC/page/n210 211]–213 | title=The American Skyscraper, 1850-1940 | location=Boston | publisher=Branden Books | year=2008 | isbn=978-0-8283-2188-4 | url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_JVzYO1TyZ6AC| quote=Call Building. }} The {{convert|315|ft|adj=on}} Call Building was completed in 1898 and stood across Market Street from the Chronicle Building. The Call Building (later named the Spreckels Building, and Central Tower today) would remain the city's tallest for nearly a quarter century.

Both steel-framed structures survived the 1906 earthquake, demonstrating that tall buildings could be safely constructed in earthquake country.{{cite book|author=Marshall Everett|title=Complete Story of the San Francisco Earthquake: The Eruption of Mount Vesuvius and Other Volcanic Outbursts and Earthquakes, Including All the Great Disasters of History ...|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NG4UAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA73|year=1906|publisher=Bible House|pages=73, 204}}{{cite book|author=Mel Scott|title=The San Francisco Bay Area: A Metropolis in Perspective|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xlE4hwWVqqwC&pg=PA79|date=January 1985|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-05512-4|page=79}} Other early twentieth-century skyscrapers above {{convert|200|ft}} include the Merchants Exchange Building (1903), Humboldt Bank Building (1908), Hobart Building (1914), and Southern Pacific Building (1916). Another skyscraper boom took hold during the 1920s, when several Neo-Gothic and Art Deco high rises, reaching three to four hundred feet (90 to 120 m) in height, were constructed, including the Standard Oil Building (1922), Pacific Telephone Building (1925), Russ Building (1927), Hunter-Dulin Building (1927), 450 Sutter Medical Building (1929), Shell Building (1929), and McAllister Tower (1930).{{cite web|url=http://www.sf-planning.org/ftp/general_plan/downtown.htm |title=San Francisco General Plan - Downtown Area Plan |publisher=City & County of San Francisco |access-date=2012-12-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121208211709/http://www.sf-planning.org/ftp/general_plan/Downtown.htm |archive-date=2012-12-08 }}

The Great Depression and World War II halted any further skyscraper construction until the 1950s when the Equitable Life Building (1955) and Crown-Zellerbach Building (1959) were completed. Many of San Francisco's tallest buildings, particularly its office skyscrapers,{{Cite web|title=Tallest completed skyscrapers in San Francisco|url=http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?30211481|publisher=SkyscraperPage.com|access-date=September 9, 2007}} were completed in a building boom from the late 1960s until the late 1980s.{{cite news|title=15 seconds that changed San Francisco: Part 6|url=http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/10/22/MNCITY6.DTL|date=October 22, 2004|newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle|access-date=August 17, 2007 | first=John | last=King}} During the 1960s, at least 40 new skyscrapers were built, and the Hartford Building (1965), 44 Montgomery (1967), Bank of America Center (1969), and Transamerica Pyramid (1972) each, in turn, took the title of the tallest building in California upon completion. At {{convert|853|ft}} tall, the Transamerica Pyramid was one of the most controversial, with critics suggesting that it be torn down even before it was completed.{{cite news |title=San Francisco Not The Same As High-risers Start Rise |date=July 1973 |first=Earl |last=Caldwell |publisher=The New York Times via The Ledger (Lakeland, FL) |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1346&dat=19730710&id=qYROAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Z_oDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6193,2824554}}

This surge of construction was dubbed "Manhattanization" by opponents and led to local legislation that set some of the strictest building height limits and regulations in the country.{{cite web|url=http://www.verlang.com/sfbay0004ref_timeline_06.html|title=High Rise Boom (1960-1980)|access-date=September 23, 2007|publisher=Verlang.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070105111704/http://www.verlang.com/sfbay0004ref_timeline_06.html|archive-date=2007-01-05|url-status=dead}} In 1985, San Francisco adopted the Downtown Plan, which slowed development in the Financial District north of Market Street and directed it to the area South of Market around the Transbay Terminal.{{cite web |url=http://commissions.sfplanning.org/cpcmotions/2012/R18630%20TCDP_GenPlanAmendments.pdf |title=Transit Center District Plan – General Plan Amendments |date=May 24, 2012 |access-date=April 11, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202235915/http://commissions.sfplanning.org/cpcmotions/2012/R18630%20TCDP_GenPlanAmendments.pdf |archive-date=December 2, 2013 |url-status=dead }} Over 250 historic buildings were protected from development and developers were required to set aside open space for new projects.{{cite web|url=http://www.verlang.com/sfbay0004ref_timeline_07.html|title=Downtown Plan and SOMA (1980-Present)|access-date=November 23, 2013|publisher=Verlang.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120524094759/http://www.verlang.com/sfbay0004ref_timeline_07.html|archive-date=2012-05-24|url-status=dead}} To prevent excessive growth and smooth the boom-and-bust building cycle, the Plan included an annual limit of {{convert|950000|sqft}} for new office development, although it grandfathered millions of square feet of proposals already in the development pipeline. In response, voters approved Proposition M in November 1986 that reduced the annual limit to {{convert|475000|sqft}} until the grandfathered square footage was accounted for, which occurred in 1999.{{cite news |url=http://www.spur.org/publications/article/1999-07-01/proposition-m-and-downtown-growth-battle |title=Proposition M and the Downtown Growth Battle |date=July 1, 1999 |access-date=November 23, 2013 |work=SPUR |first=Brad |last=Paul}}{{cite news |url=http://www.spur.org/publications/article/1999-08-01/san-franciscos-downtown-plan |title=San Francisco's Downtown Plan |date=August 1, 1999 |access-date=November 23, 2013 |work=SPUR |author1=Macris, Dean |author2=Williams, George }}

These limits, combined with the early 1990s recession, led to a significant slowdown of skyscraper construction during the late 1980s and 1990s. To guide new development, the city passed several neighborhood plans, such as the Rincon Hill Plan in 2005 and Transit Center District Plan in 2012, which allow taller skyscrapers in certain specific locations in the South of Market area.{{cite web |url=http://www.sf-planning.org/ftp/CDG/CDG_transit_center.htm |title=City Design Group: Transit Center District Plan |access-date=November 23, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131025134105/http://sf-planning.org/ftp/CDG/CDG_transit_center.htm |archive-date=October 25, 2013 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }} Since the early 2000s, the city has been undergoing another building boom, with numerous buildings over 400 feet (122 m) proposed, approved, or under construction; some, such as the two-towered One Rincon Hill and mixed-use 181 Fremont, have been completed. Multiple skyscrapers have been constructed near the new Salesforce Transit Center, including Salesforce Tower, which topped-out in 2017 at a height of {{convert|1070|ft}}.{{cite web|title=Boston Properties and Hines Close on Record Land Sale for Transbay Transit Tower Parcel|url=http://www.marketwatch.com/story/boston-properties-and-hines-close-on-record-land-sale-for-transbay-transit-tower-parcel-2013-03-26|work=The Wall Street Journal|publisher=Business Wire|access-date=31 August 2013|date=26 March 2013}}{{cite press release |url=http://news.theregistrysf.com/salesforce-tower-tops-off-tallest-office-building-west-chicago/ |title=Salesforce Tower Tops Off As the Tallest Office Building West of Chicago |date=April 4, 2017 |publisher=The Registry}} This building is the first supertall skyscraper in San Francisco and among the tallest in the United States.
