How about building in any of the areas not in green?
I think the City Hall/ Market/ Van Ness/ Upper Market Castro would have been a great place for the tallest buildings (outside of the green zone of course). It would look great up against Twin Peaks as a backdrop. It also has MUNI and BART access. SF hasn't had a major quake like in 06 and there was nothing near what the financial district is now. Imagine the 06 quake today, or worse. http://i.imgur.com/5oTmnMR.jpg |

It might not have been as powerful a the 1906 earthquake but a 6.9 is pretty damn serious. |

The construction cam was moved. Great view of 181 Fremont and SFT as well. |
^ great view! Is it from the 2nd Lumina tower? They need to straighten the camera a bit.

Did we ever verify if the foundation was drilled into bedrock on this project?

The excavation continues. They seem to be welding more steel around the edges. I'm curious if they're going to go down another floor.

I'm eager to see this one start rising and completed. :cheers:

I think that is a Donald Trump quote.

Its a line from a brilliant episode of Veep. Awesome photo. Thanks!

Why doesn't this building have a diagram? I was just wondering since it's already under construction and the designs probably won't change much
|
This may be as deep as they're planning to go with this one - now visible are the tops of the piles previously placed, with rebar protruding and ready to tie in to the basement levels. Plus it looks like they are down far enough to accommodate the three planned levels of underground parking.
It would be a pleasant surprise to see Park Tower up and out of the ground by the end of this year or very early 2017 - and it will be nice to have it, along with Blocks 8 & 9, to tide us over as Salesforce and 181 wrap up and until 50 First and Parcel F get underway. |

mat pour today

I'm assuming this will be steel frame, since a concrete frame of this size not anchored to bedrock could be Millennium v2.

Some of the rebar is above street level. The pier the red crane is on is also noticeably shorter.

Concrete pumping equipment is getting set up and you can pretty clearly see where the core is

The red crane is now gone.

Is this one ready to start rising out of the ground yet?

According to Bisnow, this one should be topped off in November:

More progress on the lower levels

The supports for the side of the pit are gone and it looks like maybe they're starting work on the climbing formwork.

Looks like they could soon be pouring the ground floor:

^^No, hadn't seen it. Thanks.
Wish I really understood how they get those big pipes they brace the foundation with out of the hole after they pour floors above them. |
