Three Tower Project between Harrison Street, Second and Third.

Cresleigh Development is proposing to construct three towers on the south side of Harrison Street between Second and Third. The application calls for a 478,000-square-foot office building, a 406,000-square-foot residential tower and a 300-room hotel along the south side of Harrison.

I see a fight over shadows on South Park.

I'm excited about his development, and the Central Corridor project in general (http://www.sf-planning.org/index.aspx?page=2557). Can't wait to see some renders.

I doubt it, seeing as South Park is south of the towers. The Earth would have to flip on its axis for those towers to cast shadows on south park . Due to the fact that we're in the northern hemisphere, the sun stays in the southern part of the sky, and shadows will only be cast northwards.

Though on second thought, I wouldn't put it past idiot NIMBYs to argue that shadows would magically land there somehow.

We finally have a new render for 41 Tehama:

It's designed by Arquitectonica now, not SOM. Looks kind of boring and boxy in my opinion, though at least it's shiny. The design would look a little better/less stubby if it were at 550' instead of chopped down to 342', but it could be much worse too.

tech12 - I agree with you, not somehing to write home about.

I took this picture November 26th. This is the south facade of the complex. I'm alarmed by the dark color & design. Hopefully the 10th Street & Market Street face will be a lot more friendly. There is a grey building across the street at Polk & Market Streets - we don't need another one. The artist's rendering I had seen in the past presented a light colored building.

From what I can tell, the Market Street side will be mixed--some of the dark stuff, some more glassy stuff. Here are the renderings for comparison:

now we're talking: http://sf.curbed.com/archives/2012/11/29/supervisor_ceqa_changes.php

moreover, appeals would be even more limited on large sites (over 5 acres), just in time for the basketball stadium.

Nice! I hope it gets passed...the NIMBYs are probably going to raise hell over it.

A milestone. The construction of the 12 story part of Crescent Heights facing Market Street has reached the top floor.

New renders and info for 181 Fremont have been released:

http://www.socketsite.com/archives/2012/...oop_181_fremont_redesigned_and.html#more

Having been waylaid by the market, the project is now making its way back through planning, but the proposed steel framed tower has been downsized to 52 stories reaching 700 feet with a decorative screen reaching to 745 feet and a spire to the 802-foot mark

As proposed, the tower would contain a subterranean garage for 200 cars; 2,000 square feet of retail; 404,000 square feet of office space on floors 3 to 35; 74 condos on floors 38 to 52; and 7,000 square feet of residential amenities and a two story open air terrace around the building for residents on level 36.

A bridge to the elevated City Park atop the future Transit Center extends from floor 5.

Tech12 -Thanks for the update. Nice looking. I do find the pinnacle to be a bit sharp to my taste- ouch!

I love 181 Fremont--that's one cool proposal.

[mongoXZ]

Reminds me of Bank of Hong Kong Tower

Me too--I agree. Build it without shortening or VE'ing it!

[LMich]

181 Fremont is looking nice! This is exactly a style San Francisco could do well with in its skyline. It looks very moder and very sharp, but without being pretentious. I'm getting a bit bored with deconstructivism.

[tall/awkward]

Lots of nice new renderings on this thread!

If I had any talent, I would update the pictures on the SF building diagram...
