Facebook just dropped $35 million to take over all 33 floors of commercial space at 181 Fremont, a mixed-use skyscraper that will the third tallest building in San Francisco upon completion in 2017. It's the social media giant's first outpost in San Francisco.

When Facebook and Instagram, which was acquired by Facebook in 2012, move into their new offices later this year, employees will share the 70-story tower with some well-heeled residents.

181 Fremont — the tallest residential tower west of the Mississippi River — contains 67 luxury condos, including a full-floor penthouse. The $42 million penthouse price tag makes it one of the most expensive listing San Francisco has ever seen. It hit the market in March and has yet to sell.

"The vision for 181 Fremont is not simply to raise the bar for luxury living in San Francisco, but to set an entirely new one," said a brochure for interested residential buyers.

The tower rises 70 stories over San Francisco's Financial District and will house 2,000 to 3,000 Facebook and Instagram employees across 436,000 square feet of office space.
