This has downtown SF at around 80 million square feet, as of last year:
http://www.corfac.com/MarketReports/TRENDS-2014Q2.pdf
Financial District - 29,616,341
South Financial District - 26,655,795
Rincon/South Beach - 5,450,192
Jackson Square - 3,044,634
Union Square - 5,581,038
Mid-Market - 6,834,920
Civic Center - 4,256,475
South of Market - 1,944,485
total: 83,383,880 sq. ft. of office space
Of course that's probably including a little extra that should be excluded, such as South beach (but not Rincon Hill) and part of SOMA (depending on what they're counting as "SOMA")...so the total is probably more like 80 million square feet, give or take a couple million.
It definitely looks more correct than 50 million square feet. I remember seeing another report several years ago that also had downtown SF at around 80 million.
