I visited the site of the Millennium Tower today and took a couple of pictures. There is nothing dramatic to see even thought the building has sunk 16 inches & is listing 2 inches. I am not an engineer so I can't say with certainty if the damage I am looking at is from the street subsiding or the building. (I can point out the whole length of Market Street to Van Ness where the sidewalk has sunk, particularly after the 1989 earthquake.)
I used to look at the Millennium with awe and admiration. Now when I look out of my window & see it I have a very unsettled feeling!
I found his distortion of the building to be the much more interesting than the cracked sidewalk. And alarming! Mellennium Tower - West Side
still not much to see, but excavation is done at the office project on Townsend just west of the Sixth St ramps, and they were finishing driving piles earlier this week. (at least I think they are done with the piles - it has been quiet over there the past few days.)
Photos from a few days ago. The second picture is Park Tower excav. The most interesting is the last, which shows the completed concrete forms for the park level of the Transbay Center.
Salesforce Tower is almost--almost--taller than One Rincon on the skyline, at least judging from the view from BART in the East Bay. Sooooo close...

No BMR, north of market, and on top of a historical bank...yeah this one isn't gonna get built. Would be nice to have a dense 500 foot area right there though.
