301 Mission Street is a high-rise residential building[7][5][8] in the South of Market district of downtown San Francisco.[1] A mixed-use, primarily residential high rise, it is the tallest residential building[5] and the 6th-tallest overall in San Francisco. In May 2016,[9] residents were informed the main tower was both sinking and tilting,[10] resulting in several lawsuits concerning repair costs and whether the existence of the tilt had been withheld from buyers.[9][10]

Opened to residents on April 23, 2009,[11][12] 301 Mission includes two buildings: a 12-story tower located on the northeast of the property,[4][1] and Millennium Tower, a 58-story,[7][5][8] 645-foot-tall (197 m) condominium skyscraper.[1] The blue-gray glass, late-modernist buildings are bounded by Mission, Fremont, and Beale Streets, and the north end of the Salesforce Transit Center site.[11][12] In total, the project has 419 residential units,[2] with 53 of those units in the smaller tower.[1] The larger tower's highest level, 58 floors above the ground,[4][11][12] is listed as the 60th, because floors 13 and 44 are missing for superstitious reasons.[13]
