A filled cove, a rebuilt commercial core, and a changing warehouse district
Before intensive development, Yerba Buena Cove reached inland near today’s Financial District. During and after the Gold Rush, extensive filling created new streets and commercial land along the waterfront.
The Financial District expanded around shipping, banking and trade. The 1906 earthquake and fire devastated much of the commercial core, and rapid rebuilding produced many of the early twentieth-century buildings that line its streets.
The Transamerica Pyramid opened in 1972. Designed by architect William Pereira, its tapered form became one of the most recognizable features of the San Francisco skyline.
South of Market developed around industry, warehouses, rail connections and working-class housing. Large blocks and former industrial buildings later accommodated offices, residences, arts organizations and technology companies.
Yerba Buena Gardens opened in 1993 after decades of redevelopment planning. The gardens and surrounding museums, hotels and convention facilities created a major public and cultural district in SoMa.
Market Street, Montgomery Street, the Embarcadero and SoMa’s broad avenues produce very different delivery conditions within a compact area. Security desks, loading docks, conventions and controlled elevators make the recipient’s company and phone as important as the street address.
