Unfortunately I don't see that happening anytime soon. Here's the most recent proposal but I don't think it's gained any traction since it'd require the removal of one lane on the bridge, which would be better served as a bus lane.

You'd be better off taking the ferry and then biking around TI.

Once link21 is built a bike line might be more feasible.

The first 'high-rise' (Tidal House) on Treasure Island broke ground today:

Progress on Tidal House is going strong! Yesterday, the 321,954-SF, 22-story residential project became the first high-rise to break ground as part of the Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island Development in San Francisco.

Not a fan of the LA/Miami-style podiumism, but at least it's well executed with townhouse style residences and decent ground level interaction instead of a parking garage podium.

The specs:
- 22 floors
- 250 units
- 1,900 sq ft retail
- Below-grade parking for 109 cars

It is really straddling the line of high-rise, who knows whether it is or not, because they don't list the actual height anywhere on the website. At 22 floors, it really depends on how high each floor is. If it is 14 ft, then the total will be 22x14, 308', which is approximately 94 meters (not a high-rise). If it is 15 ft, then the total would be 330', or 100.5 meters (high-rise). If it is a situation where each floor is 14 ft, and the base is double height, making it 322 ft high, then it is approximately 98 meters (not a high-rise).

A skyscraper would be 200m+ and a supertall 300m+. These technical details are somewhat fuzzy, as in some places a high-rise is anything over 50m, and a skyscraper is over 150m. Either way it is definitely a welcome project for Treasure Island.

Not sure if there is a standard definition of a skyscraper.

Per Wiki: Modern sources currently define skyscrapers as being at least 100 metres (330 ft) or 150 metres (490 ft) in height, though there is no universally accepted definition.

At least for SSP's definition, a building can be considered a highrise if it is a minimum 12 floors or 35 meters / 115 feet in height.

So much of it depends on where and when we are talking, for sure. The CTBUH (https://www.ctbuh.org/resource/height) suggests that they are the arbiters of these classifications, and define it along the lines of 50m as 'tall building', what would generally be called a high-rise, and 300m for a supertall. Definitely 50m is too short for a 'skyscraper' and 300m too large, so it's up in the air (pun) if a skyscraper starts at 100m, 150m, or 200m, though I suppose 150m is probably more generally accepted.

Speaking for myself, I would consider 50m too short for a true high-rise, and 35m definitely too short. SSP is a little crazy for having the forums be split from 35m for high-rises and then nothing up to supertalls at 300m. SSC has high-rise at 100m and skyscraper at 200m like my previous post, though I don't think either forum follows anything official.

Bristol is now open.

YIMBY Tours Newly-Opened Bristol On Yerba Buena Island



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2022

The Bristol is now open on Yerba Buena Island. The condominium building is perched on a forested hillside in the center of the bay. It is the first of many projects that will transform Yerba Buena and Treasure island into a new dense neighborhood of San Francisco. The opening is announced by developer Wilson Meany and investment firm Stockbridge Capital Group.

In celebration of the opening of the Bristol, YIMBY was given a personal tour of the six-story project designed by the local architecture firm Hart Howerton. The building offers for sale 124 residences ranging in size from studios to three bedrooms. With each unit, residents are provided with a suite of amenities, services, and close proximity to the island’s 72 acres of parks and five miles of trails.

Doesn't look like the park is completed yet.

And a quick refresher of the overall plan:

Quote:
The master plan was designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill, who oriented the project around three compact neighborhoods with public transportation emanating from the mixed-use hub with connections to San Francisco. Of the 8,000 units, plans include 421 townhomes, 2,232 low-rise units, 519 mid-rise units, 3,144 tower units, and 1,684 to be managed by Authority Housing.

For now, the Treasure Island and Yerba Buena have seen the opening of Bristol, Maceo May Apartments, and Clipper Cove Beach. With the landscaping and five more projects under construction at the moment, there are nearly a thousand units either complete or rising. The first phase will open around 1,500 units. Tidal House is expected to open by 2024. Completion of the master plan is anticipated by 2036.

The crane for Tidal House looks ridiculously tall considering the building is only just above ground level. Looks kinda goofy. I wonder why they set it up at full height instead of raising it in segments as the building grows.

I'd assume it's cheaper and logistically simpler to just put the whole thing up at once, if you can. Is it at full height? Does anyone have a measurement as to how tall it is?
