SAN FRANCISCO | 555 Howard Street | 418 FT | 35 FLOORS

Looks like those upset over the lack of a tower-top observation space in SF may be getting their wish, albeit one at only 40% of the height of the Salesforce Tower. |

Some serious infill and height is gracing SF. This area has changed so much in the last 10 years.
https://www.google.com/maps/vt/data=...LaTd2u07dVwQ4g On the topic of observation decks, they are money magnets I feel. Even if it's 40% of Salesforce's height, given the lack of decks, a monopoly for the meantime with respect to decks will make it profitable. So long as the market and advertise it effectively. Having a bar is a good idea. That alone will garner interest. |
^^If the rooftop space is their legally required publicly accessible open space, I don't believe they can charge the public to use it so it won't make any money by itself. What it will do is lure patrons to the bar on the floor below which may allow the building owner to charge higher rent for that space.

If that's a spire, this one's height could be close to 460 feet.
|
Looks like the NY Times Building's little brother.

Note in this more realistic rendering the apparent "spire" is gone. |
^^there is a line in the center of the rendering, it may still be there, but hard to see from ground perspective
|
New renderings!

^^^The rooftop is incredible.
I don't know if the building is a landmark though! |
Moderators, may I suggest we have this thread also appear here?
http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/tags...=san+francisco It is not currently doing so. This would be much appreciated. Thank you. |

^^I'm really happy for the city's hipsters having a place to party with some screening from the constant wind but I still suspect that, other than on rare evenings, the "marine layer" (aka fog)is going to make it colder than the proverbial witch's t*t up there and once they've looked at the view for 2 minutes they'll all take their cocktails back down to the bar on the floor below.

Interesting article and a rough timeline.

we ought to be hearing something about this one getting going soon

Don't understand why they assume this to be a shorter "landmark." Looks like exceptional infill, but nothing more. Better than a squat straight box at least!
|
Looks very Tokyo imo. I like it, it's simple and elegant.
|
no peeps about this one?
