8/22/2021 - view from the corner of Brady & Colton. Windows are being installed. The building has nice legs. I like the rounded corner & indentation when viewed from Market St. I think this development will be a very nice addition to the area. 2021/08/22_1601-1637 Market St. Development

I think this development will transform the area which formerly was not much more than an extension of the mid-Market wasteland--not as scary, perhaps, as 6th/7th/8th & Market, but with little reason to go there other than one pretty good Indian restaurant and some antique shops. But this development should bring some life to the area and I think it's very nice looking.
10/11/2021 - two of timbad's photos posted today show a high rise condo in the distance from the alley street with arches at the base. For those who are not aware or forgot, the arches are the façade of an older building that was incorporated into the new one.

This may be the shortest street in San Francisco. The building on the right is part of the large development at 1601-1637 Market Street. Today I discovered this dead-end street which was hidden to me. Next time you folks go behind the development continue on to see this hidden street.
Surprised to see the buildings in the view have a parking outlet to Chase Court.
7/15/2022 - Reported in YIMBY the permanent support housing has opened. Known as Jazzie Collins Apartments the building is 68 feet tall with 96 units. It is located behind & part of the development at 1601-1637 Market Street. Colton St. is parallel to Market St. Photo of rendering from David Baker Architects. The BART tunnel is underneath the complex - the ventilation vent is pictured here. I have heard the trains from the ventilation tube as they move underground!
Uh I'm pretty sure there's something else between BART level and street level lmao
If you’re talking about the Muni tunnel, not at this location. This development covers part of the area where BART turns south to travel under Mission St after leaving Civic Center.
10/31/2022 Went by today & got this view from Colton St. (and heard BART rumbling through the air shaft in the middle of the development). Noted that painters are working on the rescued fascade on Market St.
