Salesforce founder and co-CEO Marc Benioff opened the tower’s top floor (the Ohana Floor) to the public early in the year, but visiting proved to be so popular that now public visits are limited to tours one Saturday per month, starting Feb. It’s safe to say a lot of people will be seeing these horticultural displays. “I’ve always been interested in how plants affect people, the beneficial effects they have on our moods and well-being,” said David Brenner, founding principal and lead designer at S.F.-based Habitat Horticulture.īrenner and his company worked with Salesforce Tower’s architects to create what is certainly - at 1,070 feet - the highest garden in San Francisco. Employees, clients and visitors lounge around on comfortable chairs, looking out on the cityscape while nestled amidst greenery that would do any jungle proud. Inside, the glass-walled circular space is punctuated by 24 floor-to-ceiling columns of living plants, like half-hour increments around a clock. From the 61st floor of Salesforce Tower - that is, from the tippy top - the 360-degree views of San Francisco and the Bay Area are blue with water and often grey with fog, but not very green.
