One of the better critiques of this building I've read in this forum. Well said. The textural sense that this tower's curtain wall conveys is truly impressive, mesmerizing to a degree.

It looks like the sides are finally beginning to taper as they get higher.

My ocd is greatly comforted by the fact that the building tapers to the original dimensions of the core.

View from ATwater Bar & Restaurant Patio

10/28/2016 - In a few years this view will probably be mostly blocked by development. The T streetcar line goes within 2 blocks of this area. The rusty shipping container below the patio has been converted into a toilet.

They still have to finish the mechanical penthouse. Three or four more levels of core.

The top of the forms is at the bottom of the mechanical penthouse. Four more form raises.

The steel is up to floor 56.

This thing is beefy. It's easy to forget how "small" the pyramid is at the top. Salesforce bulks it up nicely.

Rest of SoMa

That angle makes the rest of SoMa look like an urban dump. We need the Central SoMa plan ASAP.

Have you walked around 6th or 7th street? Doesn't even feel safe in broad daylight.

You're right. 6th Street does not look as good as the epicenter of SF's building boom. Maybe there's some dodgy characters and few rundown buildings/businesses but I routinely traversed The Tenderloin and lived in Hayes Valley in the 1980's so it feels safe enough to me.
