Great vintage photo! This photo shows how bad the Embarcadero Freeway was!

[SFView]

^That looks like it was taken somewhere around 1971-1972 from the Carnelian Room (top floor) of the Bank of America (now 555 California) Building. With all those relatively new and tall buildings seen there, it is sort of like the Rincon Hill/Transbay area of the day. I can see the Hyatt Regency under construction (middle right), and Embarcadero Center No. 2 just beginning site work.

Looked to be on the Mission St side of Stevenson, and maybe about 1-3 floors up (I was in a cab at the time so hard to tell).

could this be what you saw, Stevenson and Seventh?



this is the back of the renovation of this building, as seen from Market:

the makeover of Dogpatch continues, piece by piece. this is 19th St and Tennessee

[timbad]

other randomness...

Moscone Center revamp:



SF MOMA addition:





more detail of the work on Clementina Alley in 'back' of Solaire



more wide sidewalks on the way, here on Beale next to the MTC building

[slock]

Didn't see a thread for 525 Harrison, but there's been permit movement for the first time since approval.

Maybe this one could move forward this year as well.

a little dark, but here are the granite bands on the Folsom sidewalk in front of Solaire in person:



and here a look into the mid-block passageway from Folsom to Clementina Alley, in progress

Fremont St is getting fancy. this is looking north from in front of 399

[fimiak]

Great looking sidewalk. My prediction is that those fancy bushes are going to be dead soon. Three new apartment buildings, 1000s of new units, and many hundreds (at least) of new dogs. NEMA had to re-build their planters on with a high base so that their entire front area didn't smell like foul pee 24/7, and that was just from their own residents.

[timbad]

can't remember if I'd posted something along these lines before, but the pedestrian experience around Potrero1010 will be much improved when the project is done. here is a sneak peek of the 16th St side. it's a shame the streets along the edges of this plot are so wide and not particularly cozy feeling - it would have made a nice complement to the future greenspace.



the shroud has come off the stand-alone building on the corner of Seventh and 16th:





covering also coming off the large project at 8th Harrison. this is the SE corner



and looking east down Harrison:



wider view



the building at Franklin and Page also just starting to peek out



6th and Howard, the building that replaces the 'Defenestration' installation

i like this little guy because it's to an appropriate scale and without parking.

this was in response to simms, who had spotted a crane:

I goofed here. while the first pic is indeed on the south side of Stevenson (maybe more accurately the north side of Jessie), and was likely what simms saw, it is *not* the back of the renovation of the building in the second pic.

here are more shots from different angles of the project on Jessie. looking east from Stevenson:



and as seen from Mission

agree!

[simms3_redux]

Timbad, that is what I saw.

I remember seeing renderings of this in the past 1-2 years but I'll be damned if I can find it again (socketsite article).

In doing a deep dive search for it I did uncover interesting reminders for everyone.

Palace Hotel condo tower article:

http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfranci...8800%5E1377675

The big concerns back then were that the Garden Court would be shadowed. So essentially the Garden Court is a park and those with a stake in their own hotel/land cannot even build condos on their own dirt connected to their own hotel because Planning is so concerned on their behalf of shadowing their own restaurant. In a nutshell that was part of the article.


This is the same block:

http://commissions.sfplanning.org/cp...10.0948XV1.pdf



Not a peep on this one nearby in a while.

http://www.socketsite.com/archives/2...this-week.html



Because it's been a year:

http://www.socketsite.com/archives/2...ent-plans.html

I'm sure we can expect at least another 10 before something, smaller than this already fairly small project, gets built. Yay! Rent will only triple in that time.



This is also that area, but not the project:

http://www.socketsite.com/archives/2...ctivities.html

What's the update there?


Can you believe Market City Place is a decade in the making?!?

Mid-market and Tenderlin recap with rendering porn:

All of these projects heavily contested by the lovely SRO and homeless residents of the area, of course.

[a very long weekend]

for those who don't read socketsite, a proposal for that blighted corner of powell and california, designed by the famed faux historicist robert stern:


44 condos, 48 parking spots, no commercial space (damn).
http://www.socketsite.com/archives/2...-underuse.html

[ozone]

^^^ wow that lot has been empty for as long as I can remember. I'm glad it's finally being built upon. This and 500 Pine St were for so long two of the weirdest out-of-place lots North of Market.

The U.S. Census Bureau released county and metro population estimates for July 1, 2015 today.

Here are the year-over-year estimated changes (2014 to 2015):

• Alameda County (+25365, +1.6%) from 1,612,850 to 1,638,215
• Contra Costa County (+15035, +1.4%) from 1,111,710 to 1,126,745
• Marin County (+671, +0.3%) from 260,550 to 261,221
• Napa County (+905, +0.6%) from 141,551 to 142,456
• San Francisco (+12279, +1.4%) from 852,537 to 864,816
• San Mateo County (+6802, +0.9%) from 758,333 to 765,135
• Santa Clara County (+22004, +1.2%) from 1,896,040 to 1,918,044
• Solano County (+5301, +1.2%) from 430,791 to 436,092
• Sonoma County (+2472, +0.5%) from 499,674 to 502,146

• San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA Metro Area grew by 60,152 (1.3%) from 4,595,980 (2014) to 4,656,132 (2015)
• San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA Metro Area grew by 22,488 (1.2%) from 1,954,348 (2014) to 1,976,836 (2015)

Across the board, except for SF, the growth rates are down slightly from last year's estimates.

Since 2010, SF has grown by 59,581 people or 7.4% (from 805,235). Or, another way of looking at it: SF has grown by about 11,900 people each year since 2010. In terms of population density, the city has grown from 17,180 people per sq. mile in 2010 to 18,451 per sq. mile in 2015.

Here's all the Bay Area county estimates in one chart:
