Thread movements for SF buildings recently have been very successful with buildings rapidly rising shortly after movement to official construction thread. I would hope the same turn of events happens here with this building because the real estate market and construction boom out here are hot hot hot!

This looks like soldier-piles for excavation. Drill rigs can also be used to install soldier-piles. Do you have photos of installed caissons?
