Use: Office Construction completed May 22, 2018: https://i.imgur.com/0JX2EA2.jpg Photo credit https://www.instagram.com/p/BjFkEpfF...by=streets.win Construction Camera Live construction video feed Image copyright: Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects From the architect: "The tower takes the timeless form of the obelisk and has a slender, tapering silhouette. The walls are composed of clear glass with pearlescent white, metal accents. These horizontal and vertical accents gradually taper in depth to accentuate the curved glass corners. The walls rise past the top floor to form a transparent crown that appears to dissolve into the sky. Carved into the tower top is a vertical facet that will be lit at night. Like the transit center, the design for the tower emphasizes sustainability and has a LEED Gold objective." http://i.imgur.com/cNk0S7E.jpg http://www.socketsite.com/wp-content...r-Lighting.jpg http://i.imgur.com/f4ei2OK.png http://i.imgur.com/9z21JJQ.jpg |
Awesome. Love it SF.
|
so for about 2 years, we'll have simultaneous construction on four separate sites, in addition to the new terminal itself - this supertall, 181 freemont, crescent heights' 524 howard, and tishman's rounding out the (irritatingly lowrise) foundry square development. now we're talking.
|
Love it!
|
Suuweeeeet!! :awesome::dancingtaco::dancingbacon:cucumber::apple::banger::righton::leek::fireworks:

That's going to produce some interesting skyline views looking down Columbus Avenue with it being so close to the Transamerica Pyramid from that angle.

A tall one for SF!

This will be the first building in San Francisco to soar over 1,000 feet. Celebration time :D.
|
Thanks for splitting the thread on this planned tower and the under-construction adjacent terminal!
|
This is a very good looking building. :)

Nice to see a new/separate thread for this tower! Next summer can't come soon enough...especially since the queen of the NIMBYs (Sue Hestor) has finally managed to put the tower on her radar of "evil skyscrapers that must be stopped at all costs". Though I have a feeling she'll be powerless on this occasion, thankfully.
Here are some older renders that have a somewhat different design, but which are at the correct height of 1,070 feet, so they give an idea of what it would look like on the skyline: http://i.imgur.com/mDVAY.jpg http://i.imgur.com/krFKU.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vZK4q.jpg http://i.imgur.com/k5ViG.jpg sources: http://sfmea.sfplanning.org/2007.0558E_DEIR1.pdf http://www.socketsite.com/archives/2...ransit_ce.html And here's another render showing what it would look like from the bay/across the bay to the southeast (which happens to be one of my favorite angles of SF's skyline), along with the proposed Mission Rock development: http://i.imgur.com/btOLX.jpg |

More cities around the country need to at least have one or two supertalls on average. Especially major cities like San Fran and Miami. |

Aside from SF, LA and Miami have future potential supertalls. If Chicago's wolf point tower gains a bit of height somehow it could too. Which would make for 4 new supertalls outside NY Anyway SF truly deserves this building! |
