Looks like 6 more floors and the windows will be in place. There are 2 highrises going up across the street from Rincon, 400' and 450', which will block part of the bay view from my apartment view. It will be interesting to see what the view will be like in a couple of years.

Some of the renderings for 340 Fremont seem to imply that will be rehabbed and incorporated into that project, as seen on the far left here:

But I haven't been able to find confirmation of that anywhere. In fact, the planning documents I've seen indicate that lot is outside the 340 Fremont project area, so perhaps it's just creative license on the part of Handel. It appears to be occupied and maintained, so not sure I'd call it dilapidated. Definitely a little weathered though.

Anyone else know for sure?

By Monday 02/3/2014 the last windows will be installed on the west side. Exciting to see the building nearing completion.

I actually had the opportunity to spend part of yesterday in the community area / pool and grill platform of Rincon Hill. Having never been inside the building, I have to say it is very elegant and modern. The community space is excellent and surprisingly tranquil, and the new tower looks great soaring above it. I was there on business so I didn't snap any pictures, but it looks very nice.

I want your camera!
Looks like a panel of glass is missing and boarded up on the taller tower. Makes me wonder how they would replace it, I guess this can be done from the inside.
I don't think these windows open at all, unlike Millenium. I need my fresh air.

the same platforms which drop from the roof and are used to wash the windows are used to replace/repair them.........

I guess I never thought of it that way...

I'm really interested in how the window was broken in the first place. Did somebody chuck a bowling ball at it?

It must have been one heck of a party
