Facade Installation Starts For 555 Bryant Street In SoMa, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON APRIL 22, 2024

Construction is moving quickly for the dense residential complex rising at 555 Bryant Street in SoMa, San Francisco. A recent site visit by YIMBY shows concrete has reached the 11th story, and crews have started facade installation. Strada Investment Group is the project developer, and Swinerton is the general contractor.

During our last site visit in December 2023, concrete had passed the first floor. Now, construction is just over two-thirds of the way to topping out, with facade panels as high as the fourth floor, showcasing one of the five alternating rows of sawtooth bay windows from the dynamic design of the architecture firm Solomon Cordwell Buenz.

...

The exact date for opening has yet to be revealed, but at the current pace of construction, the structure is likely to be topped out with facade installation completed well before the end of the year.

^Look nice! Presumably the windows are angled towards to bay view?

Yes that's right, although it looks like the pattern will change every few floors or so. And I'm guessing the view of the actual bay will be partially blocked by the downtown skyline.

Can't wait to see this in person!

Anyone know if it's topped out? Hard to do a floor count from Jerry's pic but it looks at or almost at its full height. Definitely a prominent structure considering the size and location, I'm looking forward to seeing how the cladding comes along.

Looks like they've done 12 or 13 of the 16 stories, so it's very nearly full height. Still a little more to go though.

Was able to snag a shot from T Third. Looks like it should be just about topped out now.

Thanks for the photos homebucket!

Definitely has a lot of presence looking down Bryant St.





And the view from Welsch St.

From 6/25. This view will be very different in a few years if the other projects along 4th St. move forward.

Thanks for sharing, obemearg! Awesome vantage points! Central SoMa is starting to densify nicely. Hopefully they figure out something to do with those big empty parking lots all around 5th and Brannan soon. Does anyone remember what's being planned there again?

Thanks! The aerial angles are from the WeWork at the Salesforce Tower. Worth getting a day pass for the views alone

Just for funsies... I put together a quick mock with all of the projects I could think of (surely missing a few small ones). Fingers crossed we see a lot of action in the area over the next 5 to 7+ years.


Note, that this is a grab bag of projects at various stages; some are fully entitled and others are just initial proposals. Heights and massing should be roughly accurate.

^ Nice! Thanks for putting that together. Great way to visualize what's in the pipeline. Hopefully the City gets all their ducks in a row, so by the time we get out of this downturn and into the next construction cycle, all these projects will be shovel ready.
