These skyscrapers, typically covered in glass and featuring all-white interiors accented by stainless steel appliances, are known for their amenities. A 24-hour doorman, expansive rooftop terraces, dog pens and even workspaces have become common perks. And as rental prices remain below pre-pandemic levels in the Bay Area, many apartments are still running deals to attract potential tenants – and the perks could become more lavish.
