As a reminder, THIS was proposed across Harrison St. at 650 Harrison:

Gosh, while are these designs looking outdated already? There is nothing there to grab my attention. Come on, let's do better for THE landmark Californian city. Boring as fuck as it is now.

^^I don't think the intention is to grab your attention so much as to house people at reasonable cost and enliven a dead neighborhood with human activity . . . again, at reasonable cost. These buildings don't look "outdated". They just don't look dramatic or controversial, but they can get the job done. Every city needs lots like them--the premier cities of the world are full of them. I'd rather see block after block like this than the old gas stations, underused light industry and parking lots we've got in this area.

Approved by the planning commission.

I was thinking it might be a good location for The Standard since they pulled out of 950 Market: Quote:

This is great, and these designs don't look outdated to me at all.
|
definitely looking forward to the activation of the block.
I would actually prefer they kept the easternmost existing building at least as a facade or podium; I think that one has character, and I personally like it more than the middle one. but, a smaller consideration than the overall positive this project is. will also be curious to see if all this development (and presumably increased pedestrian volume) results in any kind of makeover for Harrison. I don't think it can be calmed to the degree of Folsom with all the freeway/bridge traffic here, but it would be nice for it to be tamed at least a little. (Bryant has similar challenges on the south side) |
Any news of this project breaking ground?
|
its a functional people box that isnt an eyesore, so its good.
are the developers connected to vassar somehow? |
^ I haven't heard anything about this project getting going. when I was looking around yesterday I did see that it got its Prop M office allocation, so at least that is not holding it up.
the Vassar name refers to an alley, Vassar Pl, located between the easternmost building and the middle one. |
is it just me who is not excited at all that the middle building is being preserved? I just don't see anything remarkable about this:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...08db4318_b.jpg this one on the eastern end at least has a historical, and noteworthy, architectural feature of what I assume was once a loading dock, perhaps for railcars: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...75f52846_b.jpg if they were going to save one, I would have chosen the latter, easily. |

I wonder when that parking lot at 404 2nd St will bite the dust.

The office tower proposal should become residential too.
