Information concerning the square footage being proposed for commercial use. Above is the mass-model. Solid proposal renderings will be seen hopefully by June or July.

The proposals are in, and there were four submissions:

The Chicago team!
(Golub/John Buck Co, SCB architects) I sincerely hope they do not win. What would be interesting is a KPF skyscraper in this town. Go team BXP! Though I hope we can see all the designs first before rushing to judgment. Usually office towers of this magnitude make much larger statements than their residential counterparts, so this could be iconic for SF. |
Apparently, the Chicago team is the front runner:

Backside is boring, but the other side would be one of the more interesting towers ever built in SF. Long ways off for completion.

I like the back side! I think those terraces are overrated (and same architect is doing the same exact thing for TB Block 7 rising right now).
I basically wet myself when I saw these, pretty amazing architecture going up in a confined area. Tall buildings, too. this is 550 ft to SF's definition of "roof line" but we know that mechanical + ornamentation (eg glass curtain extended up) can easily bring this to 600 ft, which is where several other buildings in the city are (talk about table top!) |
Nice tower San Fran. I look forward to visiting again soon and seeing these towers.
|
Wow!
|
I actually prefer the backside in renderings...of course, the finished product may not look that sleek.
|
I like it, but then again I'm easy. Still remember the time when nothing was getting built.
Is it maybe more silvery than other new towers? I hope so; would help it stand out. I like the terraces. They've been done before, but not on this scale in this area. |
Definitely better from the back side. The terraces are really cool. And maybe just a little bit scary as hell? But from the perspective of the terrace, it would be tough to tell you're about to fall to your death.
|
Awesome! The exterior (not the shape) reminds me a bit of the Rincon Hill towers, I personally prefer that they change a couple small details/colors/etc so it doesn't look so similar.

^^^Steelblue was hired as an exclusive contractor with TJPA, so I think that makes sense. They have confidential inside scoop I'm sure.

I like the base a lot better, and I think I like the redesign better, however, I did like the Mission St side of the previous proposal.
