16th St is one of the City streets
getting a make-over. my walk today took me along it, and I tried to visit as many of the projects that I was aware of getting built either directly on it or within 2-3 blocks.
its eastern end starts next to Chase Center, and is covered in the
Mission Bay thread, so won't include here. but moving to the west...
16th is the border between Potrero Hill to the south, and Showplace Square to the north.
in Showplace Square, you have 1 De Haro...
... the CCA housing
and, I know you probably can't tell from this pic, but there were some trucks and light equipment on site of the
CCA expansion area, making me think it will indeed get underway fairly soon
should mention the (
already reduced in scope)
Recology site in passing, since that is the one that seems like it will be the linchpin that pulls that neighborhood together. but only in passing because it seems the City wants to weigh heavily how it will interact with the wider area, so I'd be surprised if anything happened there in the next 5 years.
on the Potrero Hill side, will also mention in passing the
Corovan site, and
Corovan site.
moving west, you have
Alta Potrero
Mason on Mariposa
the back side passage
east side (Arkansas St)
88 Arkansas
continuing west into the Mission, the
KQED building is getting renovated...
down the street from KQED is
2000 Bryant, turning out quite nice
I think that gap is where the affordable building will go
I like how the corner looks different, not sure if that is preserved
the project going up near 17th and Folsom is visible from some distance away now
closer
looking towards 16th St, its relation to the next one
so now back on 16th itself,
1990 Folsom:
490 S Van Ness on the corner with 16th, still shrouded
looking down 16th to show the relation of the last two
almost just pivoting from the location of the previous shot, looking past the 16th St BART station at the monstrous project at
1950 Mission St
I didn't go further west past the BART station, so am not sure if there is more up that way to see. there was nothing I could think of
here is a sample glimpse of some of the work in progress on 16th St itself: bus island, paving, landscaped sidewalk
