Maybe a little early for a thread on this one, but why not? We've had some discussion on it in the SF Rundown thread, but I'll add a couple of tidbits again here.
They're going to auction this parcel (in September) rather than the typical RFP process. There will be sealed bids, then an option for the participants to raise their bids verbally in person. The winner will be approved the following week and their payment will be due by the end of the year. So no renegotiating after being selected like Hines did on the Salesforce Tower site. It is zoned for 750' to the roof, which in SF means with mechanical screens/parapets/crown/etc it can reach up to 825' (assuming 10% is allowed, though if I'm reading this correctly, it is only 7.5% for buildings over 550'). Finally, at least 2/3 of it must be commercial, so there's the potential for mixed use here. |
SF kills live auction for $200M Transbay highrise site, but here's who is ...
any news on parcel F? |

Here is some additional detail on the cancelled auction and who is involved. From the SF Business Times:

Other developers who are in the mix include: Crescent Heights, Urban Pacific Investors and Lincoln Property Co. |
A small update from the SF Business Times:

I feel like the thread title should be changed. This could be well over 800'. 750' is just to the roof. Hell, stick a 400' pole on top and call it the tallest building in the west.

yeah, i really hope that wanda gets it and does something like they did in chicago with the studio gang tower.
|
^That would be awesome.
lol, fflint. Double-wides in the sky. Given that 2/3 is supposed to be commercial, perhaps Lincoln has an edge here? Hopefully we find out -- and see some initial plans -- next week. |

Well, you guys aren't going to like the latest scuttlebutt on this. The SF Business Times' Cory Weinberg, who seems to be pretty well connected, has some dirt:

damn. so another architectonica building, potentially ranging the length of the block from foundry :(
|
Someone in the brokerage community in San Francisco, or someone with TJPA or City has a big big mouth. Wow.
Cory's piece is a huge rumor mill of basically information that should be kept under wrap. But since I'm just a spectator, I'll appreciate it for what it is. But damn, that's the most confidential gossip we've heard in a while and it was actually a little tough to read knowing that this information made the Business Journal and likely made a lot of people squeamish. |

I don't see any mention of potential architects yet. Judging from the site constraints, whatever the design may be, it is going to be a rather tall (800'+) and slender tower. It may also be angled on the west side in plan if floor plates are maximized.

Mr Weinberg was right and now brings us the confirmation:

No Crescent Heights for Parcel F?
