Most of the building faces the wider, prominent First and Harrison Streets, a zone allowing taller height. The Lansing Street frontage faces the narrow pedestrian/auto “shared street,” with a smaller scale residential focus. The proposed building expresses these two zones with a light glassy 14 story tower element at First Street, and a stepped 5 to 7 story podium fronting Lansing, Harrison and First Streets. The base element employs projecting bay windows, balconies, and private stoops to further scale the building in a manner sympathetic to traditional San Francisco residential architecture.
The building includes a lobby, amenity spaces, a corner cafe at First and Harrison Street, and multiple roof decks with views of downtown San Francisco, the Bay, and Bay Bridge.

Not bad, but another proposal to under build what is zoned (400'). In this case, that's probably due to the minimum 100' buffer required between towers on Rincon Hill.
