It is planned for affordable housing, not sure why there hasn’t been any movement on it yet.

pretty sure there was indeed a functioning off-ramp down to I think Fourth, but maybe Third, seem to remember being in a car that used it a couple times.

Here are a few pictures of the site from today. Trees have arrived for the park, the Studio Gang (Parcel F) building is well underway and the Visa building appears to be going through finishing touches. The streetscape is also starting to come together with sidewalks, street plantings etc.

Thanks for the update, obemearg!

The Canyon (Parcel A) and the Visa HQ (Parcel G) are looking really nice.

Sharing another update from the main SF Projects thread, this time from BobbyMucho.

Speaking of green, I also noticed a TON of trees staged on the north side of the project where the waterfront park is going in. Hoping that it means it'll be near complete by the end of summer?

Thanks for sharing! As I suspected, the green is turning out to be an excellent choice.

I was just gonna ask about this one!

Agree about the green. Turning out nice...

The green reminds of the Wiltern Theater building in LA

Now that Phase I is nearing completion, has there been any talk of beginning Phase II?

Neat tour! They've really knocked it out of the park (and into McCovey Cove) with this development so far!

Soon hopefully. Can't wait to get rid of that last large parking lot!

Anyone know if there's a development planned for the parking lot across from the SFPD, as well as detailed plans for Pier 48? Not sure if Anchor Brewing is still planning on expanding there.

The lease recently got extended to continue using pier 48 as parking for the Giants. The Anchor plan is definitely dead, especially considering how much Sapporo is cutting Anchor back (https://www.sfgate.com/food/article/...n-18148141.php)

I see a very clear homage to the McGraw-Hill Building in NY, which remains a classic to this day.

Some more photo updates and descriptions of the exterior details. Stunning building. Almost a shame it's not taller.

Studio Gang-Designed Tower Topped Out In Mission Rock, San Francisco



BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON JUNE 22, 2023

Construction has topped out with the installation of the eye-catching green ceramic tile facade just one floor from its peak on Mission Rock Parcel F in San Francisco’s Mission Bay. The 23-story tower is the last of four builds in phase one of the Mission Rock master plan. Parcel F was developed by Mission Rock Partners, a joint venture by the San Francisco Giants and Tishman Speyer. Chicago-based Studio Gang is the design architect.

Studio Gang worked with associate architect Quezada Architecture to achieve the imposing structure, with steps to add a human scale to the tower. The green ceramic tiling will bring a subtle and unique texture. Studio Gang wrote about their design while “reinterpreting the typical tower podium, the building’s carved base leads up to a mesa-like space with sunny planted terraces, offering views over the main public square below.”

GLS is the project’s landscape architect. The exterior massing, features a stepped series of carved-out terraces to improve the comfort of residents by reducing solar exposure and wind. A series of gardens on the podium deck, rooftop decks, and terraces will be enlivened with native plants to attract local birds, butterflies, and other pollinators. Each terrace will include a range of seating types and flexible-use spaces for residents to enjoy the diversity of views.
