San Francisco permits — week of 2026-05-18

Office tenants are quietly reshaping San Francisco's Financial District one floor at a time — six of this week's ten largest permits are interior build-outs at Class A towers, collectively pushing past $6M in declared value. The standout outlier is 1111 Gough St, where someone is dropping $1.5M to remodel just three restrooms. Meanwhile, the city's new construction pipeline remains nearly dormant, with only two wood-frame residential permits filed all week.
