In fairness to Facebook in this instance their land is right on the shore of the Bay and probably isn’t on bedrock might be landfill Constructing very tall buildings there might be very challenging to do well given earthquakes etc (see Millennium tower for what could go wrong)

Not a comment specifically about their building but a general comment about how much of the Bay Area’s non-liquefaction, non-fire risk, flatland areas have an effective ban on everything except for single family homes.

but if you stop your car in the entry driveway and get out & look at the backside of the Facebook sign you will find Sun Microsystems there - I have these images in my mind of FB getting keys to campus hiring a crane, turning around the slab & then putting their brand on front

Land-banking at its best. Check back in 100 years to find huge towers along the bay (or what's left of the bay). When I see the relatively squat office buildings for BVHP I think the same: one day that shoreline will have 100+ stories. Commercial landlords have long time horizons
