Aerial Photography of San Francisco Skyscrapers May 4, 2011 June 22, 2013 / Aerial Photographs / By Herb Lingl Aerial photograph of the tops of several San Francisco skyscrapers in the heart of the financial district. This aerial photograph created with a very long lens shows a unique perspective on these office towers which are relatively close to each other but actually have quite different heights. The aerial shows two buildings of the Embarcadero Center complex (a five office tower and two hotel commercial complex designed by John Portman and Associates): Embarcadero West (275 Battery Street)(left center), 34 stories and 404 feet tall and One Embarcadero Center (background), 45 stories and 569 feet tall. Also shown in this aerial photograph is the rooftop of 353 Sacramento Street (the office tower with the tinted wall middle right) designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and the top of 345 California Center (right front) a 48 story, 695 foot office tower also designed by SOM.
