Thanks for the update pseudolus. Do you know if the Performing Arts Center has been scrapped or just put on hold? It looks like it'd be a great addition to the area.

^Jerry - You're not the only one. I liked it too, but I am happy to see that corner return to life.

I really liked that theatre on VN too, I once saw the moon perfectly framed by the glass blocks and it really was enchanting.

It's hard to argue with it being replaced by infill housing though, even if the design is rather uninspired.

Sep 7, 2011, 7:34 PM

Maybe it's the fact that I've walked by the old theater hundreds of times since it became graffiti-covered (well, at least a couple days of the week - they were usually pretty good about painting over the graffiti within a few days) and trashed and that's clouding my judgment, but I really don't get the love for the old building that you guys are doling out. It had a fairly interesting corner I guess, but most of the building on both sides was just a blank wall, and the building itself was way too short and stubby considering the location :shrug:

It looks like the parcel at Laguna between Fell and Oak should be moving forward sometime in the near future. Hopefully, the farm can find another vacant parcel nearby as it was a great addition to the neighborhood and one less blighted lot.

Hayes Valley Farm forced to uproot due to condo plan in San Francisco neighborhood

Hayes Valley Farm will be vacating its home soon, but the urban oasis is not drying up.

Located on a 2-acre parcel at Laguna Street between Fell and Oak streets, the farm was notified in May that its temporary home would need to make way for a condo project, which is in early development stages.

This is Parcel P, which is "described in a notice that was distributed around the neighborhood as: one wood-framed, 5-story building with 182 units and 127 parking spaces" per the Hayes Valley Farm website (http://www.hayesvalleyfarm.com/blog/570-community-meeting-with-developers-of-parcel-p.html).

Parcel P will be market rate housing. O is supposed to be 100% affordable housing.

The Market and Octavia Neighborhood Plan (http://www.sf-planning.org/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=4913) states: "the physical fabric of the surrounding residential district is extremely fine-grained, with small individual residential buildings on narrow lots. This pattern should be extended onto Parcels O and P, by subdividing it into narrow lots that reflect the prevailing 25-foot rhythm of parcels in the area, and encouraging the development of individual buildings on these lots."

A single wood-framed, 5-story building doesn't seem to match that requirement. Nor does it match Developer Build Inc's original plan to break the design up among various architects. Maybe they'll just use a facade to make it look like many smaller buildings. Can't wait to see some renderings.

Looking at it from various angles, I'm a little disappointed. From the renderings I expected a sleek, elegant, attention-grabbing building. Instead, it feels a little squat and plain. It's not horrible or anything. But I thought it would be really sexy, not a wallflower.

The re-cladding of 680 Folsom is back on (http://www.socketsite.com/archives/2011/09/renovation_of_680690_folsom_slated_to_finally_begin.html):

http://www.socketsite.com/690%20Folsom%20Future.jpg

In 2010, an equity partner in the project deeded their interest in the building back to Wells Fargo but has since been replaced by Rockwood Capital. And now, TMG Partners is expected to start the $87 million renovation of 680/690 Folsom in two months.

The renovated building will yield 505,000 square feet of commercial space and a new public plaza on the corner of Folsom and Third streets, "where there eventually will be a new 15,000-square-foot retail or cultural building constructed" (see rendering above).

Source: SocketSite (http://www.socketsite.com/archives/2011/09/renovation_of_680690_folsom_slated_to_finally_begin.html).

And according to JK Dineen at the San Francisco Business Times (http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/2011/09/moscone-east-expansion-still-alive.html), that doesn't preclude the proposed Moscone East expansion:

For several years TMG and city officials have been in negotiations over how 680 Folsom St. could be incorporated into the so-called Moscone East, a much needed expansion of the convention center underneath Third Street. For a while -- when the real estate market was ropes in 2009 and 2010 -- the city and TMG were talking about razing 680 Folsom St. and building a new complex that would include some convention center uses and a mix of other development.

...

But the 680 Folsom St. project is being built in a way that could accommodate an underground expansion. In addition, there are two other smaller buildings on the property -- 50 Hawthorne and 690 Folsom -- that could be incorporated into the Moscone expansion.
Source: Bizjournals.com (http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/2011/09/moscone-east-expansion-still-alive.html).

JK Dineen's article has lots more interesting tidbits about the project, the broader SOMA office market and which companies are looking for space there right now.

^In case you're like me and forget what happened last week let alone what happened two months ago, that's the project we were talking about in July on page 154 of this thread. With four teams submitting bids and a minimum offer of $18M for the land, it sounds like the process should end up much better than the last time they tried this.

One other thing to note, I think this development will be the first to reflect the new vision for the Folsom streetscape with wider sidewalks, trees, etc. You can do a fly-through and see renderings under New Neighborhood on the Transbay Transit Center website (http://transbaycenter.org/interactive).

AvalonBay has plan for old freeway site

AvalonBay is pushing into San Francisco’s Hayes Valley neighborhood with the pending acquisition of Parcel P, the largest of the city-owned sites along Octavia Boulevard freed up when the Central Freeway was knocked down.
The apartment real estate investment trust, which has built 800 units in Mission Bay and is developing projects in Mid-Market and on Ocean Avenue, injects fresh capital into a 50,000-square-foot site where the city hopes to see 180 units built. The developer is working with Build Inc., a Hayes Valley firm that won a design competition to develop the property four years ago...

Some new plans for the old AAA headquarters. This will be a boon to the currently blah Market/Van Ness intersection.

From www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco:

Auto club tower revs up for housing
San Francisco Business Times
Date: Friday, October 21, 2011, 7:18am PDT

Emerald Fund and National Real Estate Advisors are exploring a plan that would convert the former California State Automobile Association headquarters at 100 Van Ness Ave. into 400 apartments.
In anticipation of the eventual residential conversion, the groups are clearing the last remaining tenants out of the building, which was mostly occupied by the CSAA until it decamped for Walnut Creek in 2010. Emerald Fund and NREA, which operate as Civic Center Commons Associates LLC, have agreed to pay a $750,000 lease termination fee to the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, which will likely move its offices to nearby 1455 ...The project would likely include a new exterior skin, according to Marc Babsin, a principal with Emerald Fund. The San Francisco office of Solomon Cordwell Buenz is working on the design.

Some other mid-Market highlights from the article:

The developer has an option to buy 101 Polk St. and has filed a preliminary project assessment application to build 175 housing units there. The property is currently a 13,200-square-foot surface parking lot. Emerald Fund is proposing a 13-story building with 53 parking spaces.

Apartment real estate trust AvalonBay has tied up a development site at 55 Ninth St., and expects to begin work next summer on a $125 million, 260-unit project.

One of the largest projects in the area, Crescent Heights’ 750-unit, two-tower development at 1401 Market St., was expected to break ground this fall but there has been no construction activity at the site.

Patrick Kennedy is planning 200 units of student housing at 104 Ninth St.

I can't believe 55 Ninth is actually going to start. That's been an empty lot forever. I wonder if they'll change the design from the previous developer (Anka, I believe):

I'm not holding my breath about Crescent Heights. We've been told construction is imminent so many times.

On the AAA building, I never thought it looked bad though I'm definitely in the minority on that. No matter, I'm sure the new skin would be better if they eventually decide to pursue that plan.

Next year we could see a lot of dust flying in my neighborhood - I'll be doing a lot of vacuuming!

Biggest S.F. apartment project in years gets go-ahead; 800 jobs

San Francisco Business Times by J.K. Dineen, Reporter
Date: Monday, October 31, 2011, 4:44pm PDT - Last Modified: Tuesday, November 1, 2011, 12:11pm PDT

http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/2614/10thandmarket1.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/543/10thandmarket1.jpg/)

Swinerton Builders has received the green light to start work on a long-stalled 749-units apartment complex at 10th and Market Streets.

The $200 million apartment project, being developed by Miami-based Crescent Heights , is a central piece of the city’s plan to bring new activity and investment into the city’s Mid-Market neighborhood. The development, originally for-sale condos, was shelved before the recession started in 2008; it was redesigned as apartments last year.

“We got the notice to proceed today,” said Jeffrey Hoopes, president of Swinerton. “Tomorrow we will be moving trailers in and putting up fencing.”

The project will bring significant relief to the ranks of the city’s construction trades, which have struggled with double-digit unemployment for three years. The 10th and Market project will be built all at once, rather than phased, and will be the largest new housing development in San Francisco since the recession started in 2008.

“It’s pretty exciting. We’ve been waiting for some of the larger projects to start,” said Hoopes. “At the peak there will be 800 workers on that site.”

Swinerton is also the general contractor on phase two of Angelo Sangiacomo’s Trinity Place, a 417-unit rental project at Eighth and Mission. The two developments represent 1167 new Mid-Market housing units. Earlier this year the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a Mid-Market payroll tax break in an effort to lure tech firms to the area. The geographically target tax break resulted in Twitter’s announcement that it was moving to 1355 Market St., the former San Francisco Furniture Mart building.

Glenn Rescalvo of Handel Architects, who also worked on the Millennium project at First and Mission streets, designed the revised project.

Forgive my ignorance, but the last few times I've driven into SF from the East Bay, I've seen a crane sitting more or less where One Rincon Hill's North Tower would be built. I doubt that it has anything to do with the North Tower, is there anything else going on around here?

That's 333 Harrison:

Btw, leasing signs were posted at the parking lot for last (southwest corner) of the Foundry Square buildings. I haven't been to that area in awhile but I think they are relatively new.

Here's the site:

It'd be great to see the last piece of the square filled in.

Thanks for that find. Foundry Square III looks pretty significant, and a while coming. 333 Harrison looks smaller, but should look nice from the Bay Bridge. I'm glad to see both are going forward :)

I would love to see this building active and lit up again. I really miss it's presence in the skyline at night.

SoMa fever is leading San Francisco redevelopment master Wilson Meany Sullivan and its money partners, San Francisco-based Stockbridge Capital Group, to rethink plans for the historic Pacific Telephone building at 140 New Montgomery St. in the city.

Elizabeth Billante, a vice president at WMS in its office development division, told a Silicon Valley audience that office-tenant interest in the 26-story building is pushing the re-calibration.

Wilson Meany had intended to redevelop the striking, white Art Deco-era property into condominiums and a swanky hotel when the company acquired it in 2007 for $117 million. But the developer has been approached by users who are looking for offices in the SoMa district, where demand has driven office vacancy rates below 5 percent.

1977 - The building was awash in light recently, mayber for a movie? A lovely building. I love the granite eagles on the top. I'd preferred to see it as a condo/hotel but the market rules. The lobby as I'm sure you know is stunning. I worked next door for 15 years in the Rialto Bldg., a pre 1906 earthquake structure that burned & was dynamited but did not fall & was rebuilt.

I got a view of the 10th and Market development today from Mission Street. This view will not exist in a few months. Pictured from left to right is the AAA Building (to be converted to apartments), The Argenta apartments and the Fox Plaza office and apartments (Archstone). A part of the Bank of America building can be seen on the left. B of A was to build a twin tower at 10th and Market Sts. but got angry that the city of San Francisco passed an employee tax and built instead in the East Bay. The property then passed out of B of A's possesion.

Tishman picks affordable site for 201 Folsom St.

Tishman Speyer is lining up the affordable housing piece of its next San Francisco housing development.
The prolific developer is working with the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corp. to build 188 units at 1400 Mission St. The building would consist of for-sale affordable units for households earning 90 percent of area median income, according to planning documents.
The fully approved project at 1400 Mission would satisfy the affordable housing requirement for 201 Folsom St., Tishman Speyer’s 725-unit, 736,000-square-foot development. The two-tower complex — one building would be 38 stories and one 43 stories — would be the second phase to Tishman Speyer’s Infinity project...

So much good news, I don't know where to begin. It's amazing that we've waited so long for 10th and Market and now suddenly that whole block will be built out. And 140 Montgomery might finally get brought back to life? I'm as happy about that as anything. This and the Russ Building are probably my two favorite older highrises in the city. I've missed its lighting. Can't wait to see it lit more regularly again.

Jerry - I understand what you're saying about the appeal of turning it into condos. It would be a great building to live in and you're right, the lobby is amazing. But I'm happy it can still function as an office building. It's what it was built for and I have a sentiment for certain aspects of the office culture of the 30's and 40's. You can tap into the feeling a little bit when the old timers are still active as office buildings.

One Rincon Hill's Little Brother Could Actually Be Built Soon

Wednesday, May 26, 2010, by Andy J. Wang

http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/9880/201005rincontwo.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/521/201005rincontwo.jpg/)

Following Gavin's signing yesterday of his own widely touted fee-deferral "stimulus" program for new developments, the SF Examiner has a tantalizingly vague story saying that the second tower of One Rincon Hill is "poised to finally be built." This, after news hit in fall 2008 that the second tower would be put on hold indefinitely due to inclement financial weather. What's changed? Either 80 or 85 percent of the impact fees that developer Urban West Associates owes the city can be deferred now to completion of the project — the combination of that, plus another law on transfer fees, could "bring $19 million in savings" for the 46-story second tower, says a consultant. "It will lower costs and make construction start that much earlier." How much earlier he doesn't say, but it sounds like the shackles could be loosening sooner rather than later on this beast. Given the debacle over the fees that Urban West was accused of not paying the last time around, the developer may want to tread carefully this time. At least around reporters!

This afternoon the Planning Commission debated the Certification of Final Environmental Impact Report for the SFMOMA Expansion by Norwegian firm Snøhetta. The project expands the existing SFMOMA (with a 200-foot-tall, 230,000-square-foot addition) and demos-and-relocates Fire Station No. 1 from 676 Howard Street to a new building at 935 Folsom Street. First up, since it was the final certification of the (very long) EIR, public comment was kept short, and it was certified.

SocketSite is usually pretty good at getting hold of renderings -- hopefully they'll have something soon. They also mentioned it will be 284 feet tall. There's a small triangular block right in front of this that has been discussed for use as a playground. Might be a nice selling point if it doesn't kill the condo project entirely because of shadows.

Side note: the top of that garage was a favorite filming location on Streets of San Francisco because of the great views from the top. Will be even better from a taller condo tower.

Team Picked For 300-Foot Tower (And More) At Folsom And Fremont

The development team of Chicago-based Golub & Company along with affordable housing partner Mercy Housing bid the most and has been picked by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency to develop 557 units of housing on Transbay blocks 6 and 7 between Beale and Fremont on Folsom.

The development team was one of four that responded to the city’s request for proposals last summer. In winning the agency staff nod, Golub and Mercy beat out Related Cos., Avant Housing, and Grosvenor Americas. Golub agreed to pay $30 million for the market-rate site, 36 percent more than the $22 million runner-up Related agreed to shell out. Avant proposed to pay $18.05 million. Grosvenor Americas offered $21 million. The city guidelines required that the chosen developer would have to pay a minimum of $18 million for the land.

As proposed, a 300-foot glass tower designed by One Rincon Hill designer Solomon Cordwell Buenz will rise at the corner of Folsom and Fremont with 407 units of market-rate housing and 150 affordable units designed by Santos Prescott and Associates rising in an assortment of buildings across the site.

The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency Board which still needs to approve the deal is expected to review the Agency recommendation on December 6. Construction is expected to start in 2013, assuming it's approved.

With 79 percent of the capital campaign goal raised two years ahead of the groundbreaking for the expansion of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), the museum's Board of Trustees has approved visitor- and city-friendly enhancements to the original design program and, in turn, has raised the capital campaign goal to $555 million from $480 million, an increase of 15 percent. These additional funds will enable the museum to increase the number and types of spaces dedicated to education, public engagement, exhibitions, collections, and programs. Expanding strategically on the conceptual design announcement made in May 2011, SFMOMA today unveiled new design details including ground-level galleries and orientation spaces that will be free to the public and new educational spaces throughout the museum. The design also features new pedestrian pathways that lead to and through the museum from the surrounding streets, creating a nexus for the neighborhood. The expansion is designed by architectural firm Snøhetta in collaboration with SFMOMA; groundbreaking is scheduled for summer 2013, and completion is projected in early 2016.
