Congrats to Sarah Dennis Phillips and Anne Taupier on their new leadership roles. We’ve had the privilege of working alongside both and have seen firsthand their extensive experience, collaborative spirit, and unwavering commitment to moving the city in the right direction.
The new planning director in San Francisco has plenty of experience in the department. bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco…
"Understanding the dramatic economic changes unfolding in San Francisco will take years, and we must learn to adapt." Advance SF's opinion piece yesterday underscores the vital nature of the City's budget process amidst its current financial situation.
With a looming deficit, the question to ask about the city's $15.9 billion budget is whether the money's going to the right places, Wade Rose writes. bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco…

Downtown is at its best when people are having fun together — look no further than Downtown First Thursdays. It's great to see the event, which draws up to 20,000 people a month, extended through 2025, with key expansions to other parts of Downtown.
Downtown San Francisco's skyline could soon be bolstered by the addition of 530 Sansome by Related California -- an exciting project that would bring brand new office space, a five-star hotel, and a new firehouse at the adjacent 447 Battery site. (1/2)
The next big tower on San Francisco’s skyline could be a 41-story skyscraper with hotel and office space that would anchor a block across from the Transamerica Pyramid.
And it may rise a lot sooner than most people imagine. trib.al/2IJVeOW
@Waymo's mapping permit is not only an important step toward bringing service to the millions of people who travel to and from the city every year but also an important representation of the city working with a leading business to help drive innovation.
San Franciscans and tourists are one step closer from having the option to take a Waymo to and from the airport.

And in case you missed it, @FastCompany just named Waymo at the top of its World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies of 2025 list!

San Francisco was named the "undisputed culinary capital of the US." Whether it's exclusive Michelin-starred restaurants, your favorite local mom-and-pop eatery, or brand-new cuisine, San Francisco will always be a destination for foodies worldwide.

Making office-to-housing conversions more economically feasible is a key piece of Downtown's recovery. (1/3)
San Francisco’s dreams of office conversions have gone nowhere. Will these two changes unclog the pipeline?trib.al/g5j9zv3
The Land Use and Transportation Committee recently approved legislation that removes fees for such projects and it's a great sign that other upcoming policies will help pencil more housing Downtown. (2/3)
Check out these thoughtful responses from Dan Schrauth, managing director at @jpmorgan Private Bank, about the bank's long-term and growing commitment to the City. bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco…
SF continues to improve its standing as an office hub while making substantial strides toward turning Downtown into a diverse neighborhood. @patrickcsisson spoke with Advance SF President Wade Rose about how efforts to give people a reason to come downtown are bearing fruit.

(1/2) San Francisco remains @WellsFargo's corporate headquarters location, and the sale of 420 Montgomery is a result of the city and the financial sector's evolving economy.
Wells Fargo is selling its longtime SF HQ building at 420 Montgomery but will keep its HQ in the city at a nearby tower sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s…
Bank previously sold 550 California for a loss, and CEO Charles Scharf is based in NYC, but has "no plans to move [HQ] out of the city"
The Vacant to Vibrant program from Mayor @LondonBreed, @SFNewDeal, and @sfoewd is a proven initiative helping Downtown's recovery, which is why it's great to see additional funding to support the program's expansion and more small businesses opening Downtown.
On Powell Street between Geary and Market streets, significant ground-floor stretches on all three blocks remain vacant.

Congratulations to @DanielLurie on becoming San Francisco's 46th mayor. We look forward to working with Mr. Lurie when he takes office to address San Francisco's most pressing issues, including affordability, Downtown renewal, and safe and clean streets.
We thank Mayor @LondonBreed for leading San Francisco these past six years and for being an effective partner with the business community. Her leadership has helped push the City in the right direction, especially regarding renewing Downtown following the pandemic.
