Downtown Plan Annual Monitoring Report 2018

Publication Date: June 2019

SF Planning has published the Downtown Plan Annual Monitoring Report 2018. It summarizes business and development trends affecting downtown San Francisco as required by SF Administrative Code, Chapter 10E, and reviews data for 2018. It notes changes in the amount of commercial space, employment, housing production, collection and use of fees and other revenues relative to the objectives of the Downtown Plan and mandated monitoring requirements. 

The report indicates that the economy continued to grow downtown and citywide in 2018, at a slightly faster pace than the previous year. Moreover, employment and office rents continued to grow. In 2017, Downtown continued to account for a large proportion of the city’s employment (41%), housing production (38%), and transit ridership.
