Excited to see what the final design ends up looking like. I hope we get to see them sooner than later, though

a spokesperson for Tishman Speyer said, “these changes will create a more viable project. Tishman Speyer is committed to moving the project forward at the point and time that make sense.”

doesn't give me a lot of confidence that this will move all that quickly.

I don't think we should be too worried about the final design being super benign. Tishman Speyer is partially behind Mission Rock just across the creek and that's shaping up to look great. They also developed MIRA on Folsom.

The massing diagram reminds me a bit of this SCB project in Chicago which I think most of us would be happy to have dropped on the corner of 4th and Townsend. https://www.scb.com/project/5252/

Hope i'm wrong about it moving slowly! Also, I wonder what's happening with 330 Townsend?

This one got tweaked a little bit. Went from two 39-story, 429 ft towers with 1,148 units to one 39-story tower but increased to 440 ft, and one 37-story tower at 400 ft, and a total of 1,096 units. Retail and POPOS space also increased slightly and car parking decreased slightly.

The updated specs:

- one 39-story, 440 ft tower and one 37-story, 400 ft tower
- 1,096 units
- 9,750 sq ft retail
- 8,090 sq ft POPOS
- Underground parking for 280 cars and 427 bicycles
- Notable public transportation: diagonal to San Francisco Caltrain station, one block from 4th & King Muni Metro station, one block from 4th & Brannan Muni Metro station

11/22/2023 - New images posted via SF YIMBY today. The busy windows do not appeal to me, but I guess it does not matter looking out of them.

Yikes! Glad this project is moving forward but that is one awful design. Would much rather prefer plain generic glass.

There's a new coffee shop moving into and renovating the building on this site that used to be the Creamery, so I have a feeling this isn't starting anytime soon.

This why I never believe any US projects are "moving forward"

No news but I saw the architect has some additional renderings on their website:
