thanks as always '77... something I have been wondering about for a little while that this just reminded me of... I've noticed that quite a few development sites in the City are replacing gas stations. this is not an issue for me, but for those that drive out there, is there any sense that gas stations are becoming less convenient to find?

Nice find! I like the wood finishes, which help distinguish an otherwise fairly mundane design.

It seems like it will be the tallest building in the area, which might draw some opposition, but hopefully the higher density will win out.

And since we're on the Upper Market tip...

Here's an article and nice overview of the the projects in the area:

Quote:

Construction should start soon at two other sites. Demolition permits were pulled in March for 2200 Market Street at Sanchez. A new 22-unit, 55-foot-high building is planned for the corner lot where the now-closed Leticia's restaurant stands.

Down the street at the site of a former gas station at 1998 Market Street at Buchanan a groundbreaking for the 115-unit, 85-foot building should occur by the middle of June. Approved back in 2008, the development languished due to a lack of financing.

"Finally banks are back in business after a three-year hiatus," said developer Brian Spiers. "It is just a great area. We should build housing along our most busy thoroughfare."

Rather than have 17 below market units on the site, Spiers sought city approval last December to construct 23 units of affordable housing at the corner lot he owns at Market and Franklin streets. Both projects will start construction at the same time, and Spiers hopes to have them completed within 18 months.

2175 looks awesome, and is two blocks from my home. I'm officially located in the middle of all the new construction in Upper Market--Dolores and 15th, Dolores and Market, Market and 15th....

^Fantastic! You know that means we will expect photo updates from you on all these projects.

I like the corner and the way they've split 2175 into two buildings. I hope all that white area isn't just stucco. The material choice for those areas will make or break the look of this one for me.

wow, that bay area reporter article is an excellent summary of recent developments and some great timelines. plus that note about the gold's gym building getting a couple more floors is a genuine scoop.

Even in SF, I don't think we're to that point yet. It all sounds very idealistic but there will always be gas stations. Gas stations along transit-rich Market is some of the most ironic uses of land I can think of anyway.

San Frangelino · #**3708** Posted **Jun 2, 2012, 9:47 PM**

Is this still the design for 2200 Market Street ?

From Socketsite:

easy as pie · #**3709** Posted **Jun 4, 2012, 6:12 PM**

from what i can tell, that's the design.

btw, the site for this one has been under prep and excavation for the past month or so: http://sf.curbed.com/archives/2009/05/15..._lands_on_lower_nob_hill_parking_lot.php

the bush street midrise (here between larkin and polk) is getting started with cladding and fenestration, i'll cruise by for a photo later today. looks great so far. bizarrely, i can't find any listing anywhere for it, which makes me think that it's tldc-built or something like that. a pipeline report from 2007 shows 1465 being entitled for 37 units and 1461 being entitled for 15 more units - this will come with replacement rate commercial, so ~5000sqf of grade-level commercial space. i wish i could find a rendering, but i'm too lazy to dig around anymore. egress looks like it's off the lane too, which is nice, especially since it's next to a school.

this is the big one though, my scoop for the week these three lots are being proposed as the site for 120 units over 10 floors, with grade-level retail and egress on the austin street laneway side. one of my new fave projects and it's being built by mega-money developer trumark. hoohoo.

Great find and info! Thanks. I really like the design as well, and am happy to see Grubstake won't be leveled. ha.

Btw, here's an article about the project (1533 Pine St) from the SF Business Times:

Not sure how up to date this is, but here's a website for 1080 Sutter: http://www.1080sutter.com/

thanks Jerry! I was by there a couple weeks ago, and for what will be such a large building, it seems that it will crowd the not-very-wide sidewalk. we'll have to see how it turns out and how the corner feels.

333 Harrison St.

25 Essex St.

Hotel in Mission Bay on 2nd st. right next to the Ballpark

peanut gallery · #**3715** Posted **Jun 6, 2012, 10:16 PM**

Nice! That building on Essex is going to look great. Yet another non-market rate housing development that will look better than a lot of similarly-sized market-rate housing.

BTW: that last one on Second (behind MoMo's) is condos, not a hotel.

Wakamesalad - thanks for the updates. The last picture I found to be very funny. A port-a-pottie in evey unit?

easy as pie · #**3717** Posted **Jun 7, 2012, 11:47 PM**

man, trinity plaza really wasn't joking - there's like zero setback there, nuts.

I came across this at Studios Architecture's website- the 38 story Sailor's Union Residential Tower (across the street from ORH). This is the first I have heard of such a concept and the web site is quite vague. I really like tower, though!

the thing about sf is that it's a real shame that much more of it wasn't built out long ago, like the ternderloin. it's the difference between a beautiful street wall and sidewalks interrupted every 10 meters by driveways.

The Tenderloin was built out long ago, much of it just like you see it today. It has a considerable amount of interesting architecture that is quite admirable and will most likely never become a highrise district. I, for one, am content with that.
