Facebook Inc is constantly expanding in its Silicon Valley hometown of Menlo Park, California. Now it’s making a bigger push into San Francisco. 

The social media giant reached a deal Friday to take all the office space at the newly constructed Park Tower at Transbay, according the asset management arm of MetLife Inc, one of the building’s developers. It’s the second big step into the city for Facebook following an agreement last year at 181 Fremont, another new tower.
