It would be appreciated if you'd provide links to threads you create.

I think it's 1075 Market, called 'Stage 1075'

The Latest Plans and Timing for This Van Ness Corridor Site
March 1, 2018

. . . the plans for a 168-unit apartment building to rise up to 13 stories in height upon the 600 Van Ness Avenue parcel are progressing, as newly rendered below.

While the proposed building would reach a height of 130 feet on the corner, it would step down to 8 stories and 81 feet along Golden Gate Avenue, down to five stories and 51 feet in height at the corner of Van Ness and Elm Street, and down to 2 stories and 22 feet in height along Elm.

In addition to the 168 apartments, the plans now include a 102-car basement garage with its entrance on Golden Gate, 6,200 square feet of ground floor retail fronting Golden Gate and Van Ness, and a total of 26 new street trees.

Assuming the project is approved, the development is financed, and the ground is broken, the building could be ready for occupancy in 2022 based on a projected 24-month construction period . . . .

disappointingly, I didn't see signs of new activity at 1554 Market when I walked by yesterday...

Exclusive: After $250 million Macy's deal, Morgan Stanley to overhaul Union Square site
By Katie Burke – Food/Hospitality/Retail Reporter, San Francisco Business Times
Mar 5, 2018, 2:08pm

Morgan Stanley dropped $250 million to buy a prime Union Square property. Now that the company's real estate arm plans for a top-to-bottom overhaul, its investment there is likely to rise.

Morgan Stanley put in an offer for the former Macy's (NYSE: M) Men's Store after the beleaguered retailer decided to put it up for sale in 2016. Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) closed on the 263,640-square-foot property early last year through a joint venture with Blatteis & Schnur.

The new owners of 120 Stockton St. have enlisted heavyweight design firm Gensler to help transform the single-tenant building into space for up to six new retailers, two floors of office and a rooftop restaurant. Morgan Stanley's plans will go before the Architectural Review Committee this week, and if approved, will then head to the Historical Preservation Commission and Planning Commission for approvals.

If it gets the green light, the revamped property will keep retail on the basement and first through third floors. Up to 49,999 square feet of existing upper floor space will be converted to office.

The exterior — described as "a concrete bunker easily mistaken for a cell tower" in the project's proposal — will be replaced with a glass curtain wall to bring in more daylight and connect the retail levels. The new owners are also planning to link the updated property with the nearby Neiman Marcus and Barney's New York . . . .

Make your voice heard! Sign SFHAC/YIMBY's petition to the Board of Supervisors urging them to support Senator Wiener's Pro-Housing, Pro-Environment bill.

Amount the many variables seen with the demolition of old single screen movie palaces. A major catalyst for the decline of theaters on mid market (frankly also Mission St) was the "boulivardization" of Market, where the sidewalk was widened, and trees were planted. The widening of Market St was also meant to accommodate the entrances to then, the subway and BART which were under construction. Due to accommodating construction, many theaters that still operated lost their Marques. During this time, Mid Market slowly blacked out. making it more or less uninviting, deserted, and dangerous. Much of the other commercial business also fell in decline. The scabs of urban renewal efforts in the area have still plagued development efforts in the area perhaps until now. SF overall has still done a better job of trying to preserve its old theater palaces than many other cities. But still, such a shame to loose some of these gems. Thanks for posting a little piece of history

Thanks to timbad's post I was alerted to the trees on the patio. The photo was provided by my neighbor on the 24th floor of the Essex Fox Plaza.

Soil is in planters now. Work still being done on the roof's floors. My neighbor took the photo from his apartment on the 24th floor of the Essex Fox Plaza. Tenants on the west side of the Fox Plaza will have a nice garden view mixed in with the mechanical equipment.

It looks like the Fire Department had some issues with the design, but your interpretation is as good as mine.

Upzoning for Conservatory of Music Development Approved
March 9, 2018
200-214 Van Ness site

The upzoning, development agreement and authorization needed for the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s proposed twelve-story building to rise up to 120 feet in height at 200 Van Ness Avenue, between Hayes Street and Dr. Tom Waddell Place, were approved by San Francisco’s Planning Commission last night.

In addition to a ground floor restaurant, recital hall and student center, the development includes a double-height performance hall on its top floor and 113 units of “group housing” outfitted with 420 beds for students of the Conservatory, three apartments for Conservatory faculty and 27 apartments to replace those which would be razed in order to make way for the development, in-between . . . .
