And some additional renderings. The street wall pedestrian interaction appears to be exceptionally conceptualized.

This thing is massive, look at that footprint!

Very MASSIVE

It’s been fully approved but so too has an entitlement extension to 2027: https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/artic...t-17729655.php

I guess their lawyer said that doesn’t mean they’re going to wait until 2027, but a lender required it to close a loan. Here’s hoping we get a 2024/2025 start.

Extension Requested For 10 South Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco

BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON APRIL 20, 2023

Crescent Heights has filed an extension request for the project approval of 10 South Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco. The planned 55-story tower would create nearly a thousand homes above retail. If the extension is approved, the team will have until 2026 to start construction.

The original plan was approved in September 2020 before the Zoning Administrator’s Letter of Determination approved the first extension in March 2021. In this latest application, the development team writes that the “Project sponsor proposes that each above-mentioned condition of approval be modified to require a Site or Building Permit to be issued no later than March 15, 2026.”

...

City records show the 1.2-acre property was sold in 2014 for $58.25 million. New building permits were filed in mid-June of last year, with an estimated construction price of $430 million, a figure not inclusive of all development costs. Once crews start, the building is expected to last 36 months.

That's good, I feel we shouldn't have to wait that long for a project like this.

Extension - the good news is that the project has not been abandoned. In this environment I am not surprised about the delay. Meanwhile across the street 30 Van Ness if moving along nicely!

Crescent Heights has filed a revised application with a new design.

• Height increase from 590ft to 775ft
• Unit decrease from 1,012 to 952
• 73 affordable units with 515 1br, 408 2br, 29 3br

SF YIMBY shared some some more images and an article with a few more details.

Architect has also changed from KPF to Arcadis. I'm sure this new design pencils out better and is more feasible, but the new design is a pretty substantial downgrade in my personal opinion. While the previous KPF design did have a lot going on the stone and bronze elements looked really nice, where as this new design appears to just be glass curtain wall from top to bottom on all sides. Feels more like a generic building in Hells Kitchen than a cornerstone for "The Hub".

Also has about 10k fewer sqft of retail than the previous version and loses the mid block paseo. But in reality I guess whatever they put up there will be better than what's currently on the site.

agreed. i like the previous design more. this one is definitely more generic looking. we’ll see if there’s any more detailed renderings that come through over time. the height is pretty nice though and should be a major skyline changer at 775 ft vs the previous 610 ft although 610 would’ve been a pretty substantial skyline extender in its own right.

I like the design a lot, Van Ness would be an epic place for a building this high too.
