It's not 100% clear from the article, but it looks like this project as designed and approved won't be happening.

The Registry (subscription) had an item about this that stated the project was just purchased from Crescent Heights and was being combined with the adjacent building.

It's separate from the 540 Howard design we've seen, but here's a quote: "The buyers, who are the owners of the neighboring 530 Howard building, intend to combine the two parcels for greater efficiency and advance an appropriate design for one of the final significant developments in the neighborhood."

Damn was so excited for this. Another squat box instead.

Planning says an approved 48-story project at 524 Howard that would have included 334 dwelling units will likely not move forward as its approvals sunset this November.

Isn't Parcel F effectively dead?

I think so. The site went up for sale and also in the SF Yimby article for 530 Howard it states that Hines has cancelled the project. I don't know if it's true or not.

Permit Activity For 530 Howard Street, SoMa, San Francisco

BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON NOVEMBER 30, 2023

It has only been two weeks since plans were first announced for the region’s potential second-tallest residential tower, and a flurry of permit activity has already been submitted to the city’s Planning Department. The 72-story proposal for 530 Howard Street is expected to rise 844 feet tall, among the tallest in the country, and could become the third or fourth tallest skyscraper in San Francisco. Bayhill Ventures, the project developer, has also submitted a request for new building permits.

...

The 844-foot tall structure will yield around 882,250 square feet, with 730,975 square feet for housing and 48,000 square feet for parking. Of the 672 apartments, there will be 424 one-bedrooms, 180 two-bedrooms, and 68 three-bedrooms. Parking will be included for 149 cars and 458 bicycles.

Amenities will start on the fifth and sixth floors, accessible via elevator from the ground lobby. The elevators open to a double-height spiral staircase on one side, which rises to the sixth-floor pool deck and fitness center. The Howard Street side of the fifth floor will include a co-working space, library, lounge, and game room. The other half will be occupied by residential services such as concierge, leasing, the mail room, and a connection to the public-access Salesforce Park bridge. On the 70th floor, nearly 800 feet above street level, residents will find access to a second amenity lounge, entertainment zone, and a shared terrace.

Among the exciting new details revealed from the permit activity is a collection of new renderings, particularly how the public will see the publicly accessible bridge that connects the tower and pedestrians along Natoma Street to the Salesforce Park, which features landscaping designed by PWP. House & Robertson Architects is the executive architect, and Pickard Chilton is the design architect. The tower facade will frame the floor-to-ceiling windows with steel-beam panels.

The foundation structural system will extend below the upper and lower layers of sand and into bedrock. According to the project report, “preliminary studies indicate that the pier embedment into the bedrock will vary between 30’ to 75’.” Magnusson Klemencic Associates is responsible for civil and structural engineering, Meyers+ is the MEP engineer, and Atelier Ten is consulting on sustainability.

Build it NOW. How will the BOS mess this one up? I saw that Mayor London Breed loves it and wants it built, so that helps(?)

Permit Activity For 530 Howard Street, SoMa, San Francisco

Sorry, I know 71 floors have been indicated in various other articles, but this is the latest. Same goes for 840 vs. 844 feet. I believe it also depends on how one counts floors, or rounds off measurements.

[homebucket]

^ Thanks for catching that! Even better! Edited my original post.

At 72 floors, this would be the tallest floor count in the City, beating the 61 floors in Salesforce Tower.

[Iceman12]

Such a shame. At what point do we create a use it or lose it policy?

Separately, anyone have a clue what's going on with Parcel F (next door)? I biked by this weekend and it's still a pile of rubble. Hines is out getting approvals for several other parcels, but this continues to stay untouched.

[Zapatan]

It would be cool if someday something could rise here along with Parcel F.

That'll be if SF ever builds a skyscraper again... there's plenty of demand but for some reason no execution.

Back from the dead! Mods, can we update the thread title to reflect the new address and specs?

Should be "SAN FRANCISCO | 530 Howard St | 840 FT | 71 Floors".

- Parking included for cars and bicycles

Plans Surface For 71-Story Residential Tower In SoMa, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON NOVEMBER 16, 2023

Bayhill Ventures has announced plans for a new skyscraper at 530 Howard Street, overlooking San Francisco’s Salesforce Park. Initial plans shared with media this morning suggest the tower would stand 840 feet tall, making it the third tallest structure in the city skyline if built today and the second tallest in the city’s pipeline. Bayhill Ventures is a relatively new firm led by the former chief at Hines, Paul Paradis, and former president of the Sobrato Organization, Rob Hollister.

The current application will rise 840 feet to create 672 for lease apartments. Unit sizes are expected to vary between one- to three-bedrooms. At least ten percent will be designated as affordable. Parking will be included for cars and bicycles, while residents will enjoy nearly 30,000 square feet of amenity space.

...

Pickard Chilton is responsible for the design of 530 Howard Street. Renderings show the slim tower rising from the five-story podium, with a four-floor-high cantilevered amenity terrace facing the pedestrian bridge connecting the public to Transbay Park via an elevator. The facade appears to be treated with bold horizontal lines established by steel beams between each floor, while metal panels represent pilasters rising up to the 840-foot-high parapet.

Today, a surface parking lot and a four-story office building occupy the project site. Crescent Heights had pursued plans in 2016 for a 48-story mixed-use tower with 350 units. The Handel Architects-designed apartments never materialized, and over the years, its most common permit activity regarded the temporary parking lot’s two-year lease renewals.

Nice. Expecting to see every dead office proposal rebirth itself as all residential.

[Zapatan]

Awesome news, the design could be more interesting but still cool

[twinpeaks]

Cool, I hope this breezes through permitting into construction. We need many more mixed types of housing
