One cause, as engineers quickly surmised, was the fact that the developers had failed to drill pilings down to bedrock for the foundation - something that the nearby Salesforce Tower has. The saga of the 58-story tower becoming the "Leaning Tower of San Francisco" dates back five years, to August 2016, when the first report arrived that the high-rise - home to the likes of Joe Montana and Hunter Pence - had sunk over sixteen inches in the eight years since construction began. The ongoing project to shore up the foundation of the sinking and tilting Millennium Tower in downtown SF is temporarily on hold as engineers examine some newly accelerated sinking and tilting of the building.
