Not a bad project although I think they could've gone 10-15 stories for this one to help with gradually building up Central SoMa.

If the developer is aiming at the tech market, they probably didn't want to build a high-rise. Tech companies don't seem to really like high-rises. And, as the article says, they wanted to keep it to a size where a smalll or medium tech company might lease the whole building.

Looks like 921 Howard (across from 5M) is making some good progress. I was surprised to already see it's more than halfway above the final floor count:

Looks like it's going up at a pretty good pace!

From Reddit. Majestic shot of the skyline from the Bay at sunset. Doesn't get any better than this.

Nice shot of the skyline from Chase. Shoutout Dubs! I wasn't able to make it to the parade today but it looked LIT.

And a few more. Someone even brought their goat and with a Curry jersey on it

. There's something about a downtown SF parade down Market St that just hits different. The cheers echoing down the skyscraper canyon, the people watching from their offices and balconies and rooftops, on Muni bus stop roofs, climbing trees, breaking down the barriers and joining the party in the street. Simply amazing.

Here's a new one that just broke ground. 180 Jones Street in the Tenderloin.

Specs:
- 9 floors
- 70 units (100% affordable, 1 on-site manager unit, 35 subsidized units for homeless, 34 units for low-income residents making between 40% and 65% of the area’s median income)
- Additional amenities: ground-floor community room, tenant lobby, property management with 24-hour desk clerk, on-site social workers, free fiber internet (courtesy of the City’s Fiber to Housing program), and a second-story landscaped courtyard open to the street, providing much needed green relief to the dense urban neighborhood

Some nice shots of Serif SF and the LINE Hotel (opening this September). Love a well done flatiron building. Will be interesting to see how this further activates the neighborhood.

IKEA’s Redevelopment of Mid-Market Center Closer to Reality
July 6, 2022

Following a couple of false starts and mis-reports, the formal application to proceed with the conversion of the ill-fated and long-vacant “6×6 San Francisco” shopping center at 945 Market Street into an IKEA-anchored Market Street Place has been submitted to Planning.

In addition to an 87,000-square-foot IKEA, the conversion will maintain 46,000 square feet of space for other retailers; 21,000 square feet of space for restaurants and eateries; 13,000 square feet of “entertainment” space; and 47,000 square feet of space that was previously converted from retail to office use on the building’s 4th and 5th floors.

Interesting. Looks like they'll be redoing some of the exterior as well as the interior to prepare for IKEA.

New Renderings For Livat-Branded IKEA At 945 Market Street, San Francisco

BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON JULY 8, 2022

Ingka Centres has filed updated plans for the future home to IKEA at 945 Market Street in SoMa, San Francisco. The project will provide a major tenant and new life to the mall under the Ingka Center’s Livat branding for their new urban shops. Gensler, the original architect, will be responsible for recladding and upgrades to the interior and exterior.

...

The application provides an exhaustive list of work required. The exterior work will include new cladding of the existing building marquee, new cladding of existing cable net curtain wall surround, new retail display window at the building entrance, exterior lighting upgrades, demolition of existing banner outriggers, and new punched window openings at the rear facade. Interior work will include building a new structural pedestrian bridge on the second floor, non-structural partitions, doors, ceiling, millwork, lighting, and new architectural finishes where indicated.
