If Facebook comes through, this means there is virtually no class A office space coming online in SF until Oceanwide opens in 2021.

... and east (for those of us who remember Townsend in the 90s, when none of these buildings existed, this shot is striking)

Not the outcome I hoped for. Balconies in SF seem relatively pointless. The glass rail on them is atrocious. Regardless, I'm excited to see another underutilized lot get built up.

Noticed this building going up in the Tenderloin today on Larkin St (near O'Farrell). 8 stories "with 42 condos over 1,400-square-feet of retail space and parking for 22 cars" replacing this:

As of today:

Kind of a rough-edged spot to buy a cond, though it happens to be across the street from my go-to Asian grocery. All the luck to them, though. It's what 'hood needs. Can't find a rendering but if JS Sullivan is still doing it, I expect good things. They are doing a couple of other pretty nice looking infill buildings around town.

Exclusive: Union Square's first new retail development in 20 years to break ground after years of delays
By Katie Burke – Food/Hospitality/Retail Reporter, San Francisco Business Times
May 14, 2018, 12:00pm PDT Updated May 14, 2018, 1:39pm

The corner of Grant Avenue and Sutter Street will be home to Union Square's next retail transformation now that plans for the district's first new development in decades is at the starting line.

Lincoln Property Company and St. Bride's Managers, the joint venture spearheading the 300 Grant Ave. project, will break ground this week on a 6-story, 70,000-square-foot property with room for retail and office tenants. The development, with an estimated construction cost of $19 million, is slated for a late 2019 completion and early 2020 opening. It's not clear yet what the mix of retail vs. office will be . . . .

Plans to develop the coveted corner lot in San Francisco's premier retail district have been in the works for more than a decade. After a proposal to build a 10-story residential and retail tower failed to survive the recession, a new owner swooped in about four years ago to reposition the plans to include retail and office.

The joint venture purchased the site for $49.25 million in 2014, according to Property Shark research.

The development will be Union Square's first ground-up project in more than 20 years after construction on Crate & Barrel's store at 55 Stockton St. and the 7-story Bvglari Building at One Union Square . . . .

Socketsite as well as Robert Becker have a few renderings on their sites. Hopefully it's evovled a bit since then; regardless, a peek at what it may become.

Is anyone else concerned that a $9 Bay Bridge toll will inhibit business development (and office construction) in San Francisco? I don't commute; don't even work. So like most people, I'd be inclined to support a tax somebody else will be paying. But I am worried there could be a bit of a revolt from commuting employees forced to pay this (or their employers if they reimburse it) and it would constitute motivation for businesses--and buildin--to relocate to the East Bay or Peninsula.

Any thoughts?

Prolific investor jumps into Mid-Market with $110 million deal for 1390 Market St. in San Francisco
By Blanca Torres – Reporter, San Francisco Business Times
May 18, 2018, 1:30pm

Prolific deal-maker Swift Real Estate Partners picked up its first office building in San Francisco’s Mid-Market area.

The investor snapped up the first 12 floors consisting of 220,000 square feet of office and ground-floor retail in 1390 Market St. from Broadreach Capital Partners. The price was $110 million or about $500 per square foot, according to a source familiar with the deal.

The 29-story tower, formerly known as Fox Plaza, includes apartments on the upper floors owned by San Mateo-based Essex Property Trust . . . .

The space is 89 percent leased up to mostly tech and government tenants including Twitter (NYSE: TWTR), Arista Networks and the City of San Francisco.

Swift plans on sprucing up the building’s lobby, common areas and exterior and has hired on Cushman & Wakefield to handle the office and retail leasing . . . .

I wouldn't expect it to be too bad. According to this report by BART only 20% of people commuting to FiDi, from East Bay, commute alone. An additional 12% carpool, but presumably this would have less of an effect on each individual in the carpool since the increase for each commuter is not as much. If anything, I think it would make more people take buses or BART.

I agree. I like the fact that it is phased over three years. Also, relatively speaking, tolls here are cheap compared to New York.

I wouldn't expect it to have much impact, maybe a bit on the margins as people adjust, like with higher gas prices. There's already plenty of motivation to locate your business outside of SF: higher rent, crushing traffic, expensive parking, extra regulations on health care, sick leave, minimum wage, etc. Yet, there's no shortage of businesses that want to be here.

The toll doesn't rise to the $9 peak until 2025. Presumably those driving into the city are already paying much more than that to park anyway (or their employer is). BART is already $7 roundtrip from DTO, and the ferry more than $10 roundtrip from Alameda. The GGB toll is rising to $7 (with Fastrak) this summer, so $9 in 2025 isn't really going to be out of line with the alternatives.

Proposed Hub Heights Raised, Impact Report about to Be Drafted

While originally envisioned to allow building up to 600 feet, in addition to evaluating a higher 360 foot height limit for the International School parcel at 98 Franklin, the proposed height limits for the redevelopment of the San Francisco Honda site at 10 South Van Ness has officially been raised from 500 to 590 feet.

And the proposed height limit for the corner parcel at 1 South Van Ness Avenue, upon which an 8-story building currently sits, has been raised from 600 to 650 feet in height, in order to help mitigate “a “table-topping” effect on the area’s rapidly evolving skyline with uniform heights of tall buildings and little transition to adjacent areas” and cement the corner as the visual hub of the neighborhood.

Also note that the height of One Oak has also been raised from 400 to 450 feet. We could see a taller (re)design for One Oak in the future.
