SAN FRANCISCO | Projects: Under Construction, Approved, and Proposed

[craigs]

In all these years, I had no idea that garage had a circular lightwell! Also, I remember when that California Pizza Kitchen was actually a small food court, with Mom 'n' Pops selling food from all over the world. I used to love the Thai place in there.

Same here! I'll have to swing by and check it out sometime. But yeah, 600' would probably not alter the table top effect all that much. Here's a photo of mine that needs updating. I'm guessing it would fit right in between The Paramount and Park Central, and cover up McKesson.

From Hospital Curve's angle, it'll fill in the gap in between 44 Montgomery and One Montgomery.

In downtown Portland, OR, there's a full-block, 10-story parking garage with a similar circular ramp in the center. Driving down ten stories of that as fast as I could muster was one of my favorite parts about going downtown while in high school.

You definitely need a wide angle lens to capture photos like that in the garage lol.

@colemonkee, I'm sure then there's a photography scene with that parking garage too! Nothing like it in San Jose for me... haha. Sounds like fun though that it brings you back to your high school days!

I would love to see a before and after picture from that angle, homebucket!

[BobbyMucho]

Exciting!

I actually thought this was the SMTA garage down the street at first... but, alas, a new tower proposal!

[Pedestrian]

People discovering new proposals for projects at least 120 ft should go ahead and make threads for them in the "Proposals" section, especially if the proposals are fairly "concrete" (pun intended), meaning there are renderings and details about uses, unit numbers and so on.

Just follow the formats of existing threads, titling the thread "SAN FRANCISCO | (address and/or project name) | XXXX FT | XXX FL"

If you don't want to do it, let me know and I will but if you found it, you should get the perpetual credit as author of the thread. Even poor BTinSF lives on in some of these threads, to the distress of some .

It has a certain Salesforce Tower look to it, other than the top. But the rounded corners and how it tapers up.

[38 Geary]

I personally wouldn't mind if SOM rehashed their Transbay Terminal design. At 800+ ft, it would still look stunning.

[AndrewK]

That was definitely my favorite of the tower designs.

[kingkirbythe....]

It is quite stunning.

I walked the other way on Sunday and was disappointed to see that there's pretty much nothing happening south of McAllister even though the utility work seems finished.

I have a feeling they may be waiting for the Conservatory project to wrap up before tackling that whole section.

[700 Level]

Are there links to good web-cams showing activity on projects that are in-progress?

[Iceman12]

Passed by this lot today and was pleased to see it fully demolished. I’m not sure which plan is moving forward, though.

New proposal from Strada and Trammel Crow for Pier 30-32:

San Francisco’s Pier 30-32, once the site of a proposed Golden State Warriors arena, would be redeveloped with an audacious mixed-use project that would include a floating public swimming pool and more than 850 housing units, according to a proposal that city staff recommends go forward.

Developers Strada Partners and Trammell Crow beat out two other developers as the preferred option in a Port of San Francisco competition for both the piers and the 3.2-acre lot across the street known as Seawall Lot 330.

IKEA's sister company buys troubled 6X6 shopping mall
By Alex Barreira – Staff Reporter, San Francisco Business Times
Sep 4, 2020, 2:59pm PDT Updated 7 hours ago

The 6X6 shopping center has a new owner — and IKEA could be on its way to Market Street.

The long vacant six-story, 250,000 square foot shopping center at 945 Market St. in downtown San Francisco has been purchased by Ingka Centres, the mall owner division of IKEA's parent company, Ingka Group, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The sales price was not disclosed.

Plans for an IKEA store at the mall were not announced, but the world's largest furniture retailer told the Chronicle that its U.S. retail division would play an "integral role" in the project and would reveal plans "in the near future."

“This investment and the addition of IKEA will be transformational for our Mid-Market neighborhood, and a welcome reminder that while the present is challenging, San Francisco remains a place businesses want to locate,” said Mayor London Breed in a statement to the Chronicle.

Since fall 2016 the only active business in the 6X6 mall has been a 167-space parking garage. The empty shopping center has struggled with flagging demand from retailers and nearby drug use and dirty street conditions.

The 6X6 mall cost $150 million to build. Developer Cypress Equities sold the empty property to Alexandria Real Estate Equities and TMG Partners last year after years of unsuccessful bids secure retail tenants . . . .

It'll be great to get something there.

VERY modern/futuristic and I welcome it with open arms
