67-Story Skyscraper Approved for 10 South Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco

The San Francisco Planning Department has approved plans for a 67-story mixed-use skyscraper at 10 South Van Ness Avenue.

This approval comes soon after reports that the developer, Crescent Heights, hopes to start construction as early as 2027.
