I had an interview last Friday, and decided to take a few update pictures for this thread. These pictures are from Dec 5th.

This next one isn't under construction, just fairly new. Looks really nice so I decided to snap a pic.

That's all I got.

LOL

go to the website and look at the view. They mashed up Cathedral Heights with the Tenderloin and Nob Hill looking north. It took me a while to figure out what angle they were trying to show, then I realized they photoshopped some stuff in for some reason.

I'm not the one trolling, dude.

I thought it looked weird too initially, but I think it's just because it's at an angle we don't usually see.

the google earth render from roughly the same spot:

patriotizzy - thanks for the nice collection of photos. It is good to see steel beams coming out of the hole for the Trans Bay Terminal!

That Franklin St tower - looking at this tower it doesn't look well built. Like, at all.

CPMC tower, base for 2 tower cranes installed:

Took a late afternoon stroll (12/14) through Transbay and Rincon Hill to catch up on progress.

Was walking down Beale and this caught my eye sitting on the vacant Parcel M (southwest corner of Mission / Main)... Probably samples (?) for the aluminum skin of the TTC.

Lumina

Mid-rise along Folsom... I like

Context shots with The Infinity Towers.

Beale Street mid-rise. Behind is the 375 Beale retrofit and reno for regional government HQ (MTC et al.).

Construction on Block 8 (Rem Koolhaas / OMA with Fougeron Architecture), with 222 Second in the background. Nasty off-ramp is finally closed for good.

View down Folsom, the future neighborhood commercial corridor of Transbay / Rincon Hill... Patiently waiting for Jeanne Gang's design for Block 1.

Block 6, "Solaire" (SCB). This one is also rising quite fast. The basic form of the adjacent Mercy Housing mid-rise looks to be complete as well.

399 Fremont. Was surprised at how fast this was rising. In contrast, there doesn't seem to be much progress on 325 Fremont at all.

340 Fremont. Core is above street level.

quashlo · #**6592** Posted **Dec 15, 2014, 9:25 PM**

View from the mid-block passage between 333 Fremont and 399 Fremont. Love the intimacy and feeling of enclosure from these passageways.

So much construction on Fremont...

45 Lansing

This side doesn't look too bad.

Not sure if I like this side... Reminds me too much of the InterContinental

, although the glass here is much less offensive.

quashlo · #**6594** Posted **Dec 15, 2014, 9:26 PM**

The PG&E substation at 401 Folsom is really going to stand out like a sore thumb when everything is built… Huge blank wall.

Nothing happening on 41 Tehama yet.

222 Second, adding some nice bulk along the western edge of Transbay.

Not sure I like the exterior though. The smoked glass is almost black, although maybe it looks better under different lighting.

With One Hawthorne behind. Maybe they should have picked a lighter color for the glass or for the frames of the panels… There’s not enough to break up the façade when looking at the building head on, and the shingle effect is only visible at angles.

quashlo · #**6595** Posted **Dec 15, 2014, 9:27 PM**

Future Oscar Park and bus ramps.

Parcel F, still a staging area for construction of the terminal.

Crescent Heights plan for 524 Howard, currently still a parking lot. Interesting, if only for how thin it is.

Some of the "tree branches" have already been erected.

The exterior on 350 Mission looks exceptional… Interesting to contrast the glass here with 222 Second. Just wishing they had built closer to the height limit they were given under the Transit Center District Plan.

From Minna

Transbay Tower

The high atrium / lobby should be a really nice addition to street level.

181 Fremont

Thanks quashlo. Is it possible to move each of these to their specific threads, though? Your pictures will get buried on the main thread, and each of these buildings has its own specific thread.

Again, thanks!

350 Mission's skin is simply beautiful.

45 Lansing looks surprisingly cheap.

Fremont Street has the most construction activity in the city, eh?

350 Mission is a stunner.

399 Fremont is soaring...totally snuck up on me. I can only really see Lansing from my daily commute and barely realized this thing was as high as it is.

The terrible project on Franklin keeps looking sloppier...I drive past it almost every day and it's just bizarre. No crane, floors going up piecemeal, terrible clunky concrete parking garage base.

Excited for the one on Franklin and Pine, however.
