http://i916.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps0335a8de.jpg Lower section topped off, setback commences this week, as well as crane jump. |
They have glass up now on Floor 2. Also, this has surpassed the height of One Hawthorne by a few floors and can be seen from the West (and easily from the Bay Bridge). I won't be able to get pictures for a while, maybe someone else can?
This is an impactful building for the skyline. |
from earlier this morning

Thanks..you can kinda tell there are a few glass panels up on the 2nd floor facing E/NE (2nd St).

SFHog posted some pictures of the glass - looking good.

Agree the glass is look phenomenal. Also love the overlapping of each piece of cladding.
|
Looks good so far. Can't wait to see how it looks with several more floors in place.

222 Mission has now completed the wall in this direction from my dentist's office on the 21st floor of 450 Sutter--I wish it were taller!

Also from yesterday, sorry about the crappy quality. I need a new phone.
Were we all out there taking pics yesterday? :cheers: From the site of 350 Mission and over the Transbay Tower/Terminal site: https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3874/...df7e2546_b.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3852/...31acb5fc_b.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5586/...94694441_b.jpg |
k, I'll get in on the party... here looking from 4th and Folsom past the Central Subway construction, 222 Second peeks out over the wall
https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5582/...1877713c_b.jpg similar angle, from inside Yerba Buena Gardens (bonus of SFMOMA addition) https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3906/...b3213027_b.jpg |
Perhaps more than the other new buildings going up, you have to see this one in person to appreciate the impact it makes. It's only 350' but it feels taller than that since everything immediately surrounding it is shorter. It really commands your attention from street level in the neighborhood.
https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3909/...9d28af17_b.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3873/...d4644767_b.jpg Looking west down Howard, which is probably its least flattering angle: https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3916/...138fb19b_b.jpg The glass is beautiful and almost reads as black. Way back, I thought this was going to look very similar to 555 Mission, but there's no chance of that. The glass and massing are totally different: https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5552/...8043a77b_b.jpg Notice how the glass along Second extends beyond the skin on Howard: https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3859/...ab171613_b.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3860/...78722259_b.jpg |

It it were being built in the heart of the financial district, it might not be noticeable. |
I thought it was actually 370 ft? Only 10 ft shorter than 535 Mission... Either way, not "tall", but actually still one of the absolute tallest office towers going up in the entire country right now since everything everywhere is residential! I agree that in person from many angles it also appears very tall, from street level and about 1-2 blocks away. It doesn't really seem to have a large impact on the skyline, though.

^^^which for all intents and purposes is 370 ft. If a spire is officially counted as height, then the official height of this building is 370 ft.
Also, SF defines a roof as essentially the ceiling height of the top floor. The rest of the world defines a roof as a roof + physical structure/extension of facade (basically anything less than spire, antenna, or decorative element that isn't entirely structural). Many of the country's buildings would be 30-100 ft shorter in SF if they were located here and used local definitions for height. |

Going back one page, the first steel popped out of the site in late-April, so it only took four months to go from ground level to topped out. 26 floors in 18 weeks is almost 1.5 floors per week. |
from Moscone Center North, so looking east down Howard:
