Plans for a Modern 200-Foot-Tall Hotel and Condo Tower Revealed

Source: http://www.socketsite.com/archives/2...-revealed.html

Quote:
The designs for a modern 200-foot-tall hotel and condo building to rise at 447 Battery Street, a site which is currently occupied by the three-story Cort Furniture Rental building at the corner of Battery and Merchant, have been drawn and formally submitted to San Francisco’s Planning Department for approval.

As designed by Heller Manus Architects for the Montgomery Realty Group, the proposed 19-story building includes a total of 182 hotel rooms over a 4,700 square foot restaurant and an underground garage for 24 cars...

Besides those who think slapping gold leaf on everything that doesn't move is "real classy" and people with "Daddy Warbucks Issues", who gives a flying fuk about Trump hotels?

Speaking of tacky hotels .... the 200-ft. proposed hotel/condo next to the Pyramid looks a little too Post Post-Modern Modern. But the area could use
jazz'n up. Need better renderings. I could do that on my TurboCAD.

As someone pointed out in the comments to the article, the existing building on this site has some historical protections so I doubt the replacement will be built but we'll see.

I gave it a thread in the "proposed highrises" section when I saw the Socketsite piece earlier in any case because it's tall enough to qualify and maybe someting will come of it.

What;s with the setback? Looks like NYC in the 70's. Ugh.

^^ Progressive set-backs like that create large terraces.

I think the sloped top looks a bit awkward with the rest of the building. At least it won't be too visible, unless you're looking from a neighboring highrise.

This planning department document from November 2016 seems to show an updated rendering of Parcel F. I know a more 'rounded' version was discussed and this looks to be exactly that.

It also shows the Renzo Piano tower at 555 Howard and a new rendering of the soon to be under construction tower ("March 2017") by Studio Gang at block 1.


And speaking of 555 Howard, it looks like Langham Hospitality will be the hotel operator:

Quote:
Langham Place, San Francisco will be located at 555 Howard Street across from the Transbay Transit Center. The Transbay Transit Center promises to become the “Grand Central Station of the West”, redefining the epicenter of the CBD in San Francisco, the world’s technology powerhouse. Langham Hotels and Resorts will bring a full-service luxury hotel to the development as of 2020.

According to Socketsite, 557 Howard will remain:

Quote:
Plans to raze the two two-story buildings at 547 and 555 Howard Street and build a 36-story tower rising up to 380-feet in height across the site have been drafted and submitted to San Francisco’s Planning Department. And as proposed, the tower would be cantilevered over the adjacent two-story building occupied by The Melt at 557 Howard as well.

The view from the 60th Floor of Salesforce Tower

From left to right, the steel going up for the below market rate component of Block 6/7, the excavation for 400 Folsom, the more advanced excation for 500 Folsom, and finally 33 Tehama.

^^I wonder if the people who own in The Metropolitan, who used to be kings of the (Rincon) Hill, so to speak, but are now surrounded by buildings that dwarf theirs, feel bad. I know they unsuccessfully sued to stop at least one of them.

Have any SF/Bay Area locals on here ever thought of doing a Meetup-style group for architecture/urban development? PM me so I can get a sense of how many might be interested.

Or maybe its personnel policies have more to do with it:

The most interesting thing here may not be the $162,000 of overtime but the fact that the base salary for a BART janitor was apparently $109,000 per year.

various things, from Saturday...

from Dolores Park



the Ringold Alley side of the large project on 8th and Harrison. I had hope that at least the alley would turn out OK, but the facades here, as over pretty much the whole project, are about the blandest I have seen anywhere. (and my pet peeve, they left the telephone poles, really?) a disappointment. they're not quite done, so I am holding out slim hope that there will some redeeming finishings, we'll see.



Folsom and Rausch



and FINALLY, the project at Sixth and Howard is losing its shroud! looking north up Sixth



closer





not much different than the previous photo, but the Transbay block north of Solaire



with more context and other projects



from further back along Folsom



South Park is getting there...looking west



and east

LGBTQ "activisits" got their bribe and now:

Mid-Market project a step closer with transgender district deal
By J.K. Dineen, San Francisco Chronicle
January 30, 2017 Updated: January 31, 2017 9:25am



The large San Francisco hotel and condominium complex proposed for 950 Market St. is set to move forward after the developer reached an agreement with a coalition of LGBTQ activists who had opposed the project.

On Monday, developer Group I agreed to pay $300,000 into a fund that will be used to establish a transgender community center, to create a transgender historic and cultural district, and to support transgender-serving businesses and nonprofits in the district.

The Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development will administer the fund, with a board of directors made up of community members . . . .

Since we now have a good rendering of this project--and talking about "blocky", boy is this "blocky"--I started a thread for it since a search didn't reveal an existing one to me.

in case anyone missed it, Hoodline reports that the former Home Restaurant on the corner of Church and Market has been demolished. to make way for this:
