That would make me choose Oaktonwn over SF.

at the site at 270 Brannan - as far as I know, still Splunk - the first support columns are starting to peek up at the back:



and the DropBox site down the street:



this is looking down Stanford Alley, on the site's east side:



and 72 Townsend is starting to look like something:

Does anyone know why they decided to set back the upper floors of 72 Townsend so much, thus keeping exposed the blank wall of the neighboring building?

Since this thread is going kind of slow...I was noticing when looking at this render:

It looks like eastern SoMa between the freeway and Market is completely built in now, no more parking lots left. Do you think they'll start tearing down lowrise 1-5 story buildings to build up higher? Or will they shift their focus to western SoMa?

Western Soma has a bigger problem that it is only serviced by busses...at least the Central Subway will serve parts of Eastern Soma, and there is the XBay terminal (yes, busses, but a lot of them). Thoughts?

I think the Central Subway will drive a lot of development in SOMA around 4th street, in particular between 2nd and 6th and anywhere between Mission Bay and Market. The subway is due for 2019; there are already a few proposals for redeveloping certain parcels. I expect many more to come forward in 2017 or so, once the subway's completion nears.

Frankly, there are a ton of parking lots, gas stations, and warehouses in that area. It's also next to the current Caltrain station on 4th, which may go underground, creating more space. It's also next to the freeway that may get torn down, creating further space

hoodline extracted a couple new renderings for 2100 market street (the former home restaurant at church st)



the old design was neater, with bay windows instead of balconies. oh well,

60 rental units (six studios, 31 one-bedrooms, and 23 two-bedrooms)
60 indoor bike parking spots, plus two bike racks on Market Street
15 parking spaces (13 in an automated stacker machine, two for handicapped-accessible vans)
A 4,800-sq-ft roof terrace
Below-market-rate units on site

[a very long weekend]

from this morning, we have the sfmoma expansion from the 3rd floor of the metreon:


and from the howard street side


edit: realized that i'd initially named it as the fisher addition but that it has yet to be named as such, so must remain as simply the 'sfmoma expansion' until there's some clear fisher designation to the snoehetta wing to the building there. also, originally wrote mission for howard.

[a very long weekend]

as of today

1400 mission


1415 mission


the panoramic (at ~1301 mission)

^^^Note that the Panoramic is waiting on its skin to arrive via ship, but there is a port strike.

I've been waiting for an explanation for the slow progress on that. Thanks.

It looks like a big PC board.

Another interesting land grab:

We never post about real estate plays until there is a rendering or a rumor of a tower, but this is likely to be big.

And more insanity...

There are people in this town of mostly smart people that I believe are quite literally missing brain cells.

huge news out of hastings college:

The public law school plans to build an academic building on a vacant lot it owns at 333 Golden Gate Ave., between Larkin and Hyde streets, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. That building would replace Snodgrass Hall, a structure at 198 McAllister Ave. that originally housed the law school. Eventually, the school plans to tear down Snodgrass Hall and replace it with a residential tower with up to 400 units of student housing, the Chronicle reported.

http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfranci...s-housing.html

from the hastings college news release:

The Governor’s budget plan embraces the college’s recently concluded long-range campus planning process. The plan proposes $43.6 million over the next five years. Of that amount, $36.8 million is proposed in 2015-16 to construct a new academic building to replace the portion of the 198 McAllister building that was constructed in 1953. The project will develop a new academic facility of approximately 57,000 gross square feet on a vacant site owned by UC Hastings at 333 Golden Gate Avenue.

amazing! yes! i still wish that garage had never been built but maybe in a decade or so they'll covert it to classroom space. replacing snodgrass hall with a building conforming to modern institutional design practices will do a huge amount for the neighborhood, that's for sure.

next up is 101 hyde, the post office general delivery across the street from hastings college, which is reasonably far along in the entitlement process. that one will bring an 8 story building containing 85 units over 19 parking space (i know, like we need parking there) and ~6200 square feet of ground floor retail.




looks great for a tl proposal!

[a very long weekend]

we also have 1740 market street, where rebel used to be (i think the only business still there is proposition chicken), adjacent to 8 octavia. we're looking at a 9 story, 85 foot tall, parking free. 7600 square feet of retail (a net loss of around 19k square feet, sniff) but it'll add sro-ish efficiency 110 units.



and here is 1567 california, what's proposed to rise on the corner of california and polk and comprising all those businesses from out of the closet to the polk street gym.
