Just my opinion . Should we not create a forum for general photos of SF since this particular forum is for projects approved, under construction and proposed?

Sure. I'll keep it as such and post those only if it shows the development around the area.

Thanks!

Van Ness Ave. is a mess. It has been a mess for a while and it will apparently be a mess for 2 more years (or so).

But when it reopens it'll have one more new attraction (besides a new hospital, medical office building and BRT):

Korean-developed cinema with 4D screen and motion seats to replace shuttered Van Ness AMC
Alyssa Pereira , SFGATE
April 18, 2019 Updated: April 18, 2019 3:14 p.m.

An entirely futuristic movie-going experience is headed to the heart of San Francisco, courtesy of CJ-CGV, a South Korean cinema company.

The new 14-auditorium movie house will take over the space that formerly housed the beleaguered AMC Van Ness 14, which had been operating at 1000 Van Ness since 1998 before it closed in early February.

CGV is reportedly executing substantial renovations to the space — a good idea, considering the spate of bad reviews around the theater's cleanliness and even bedbugs — to premiere a cinema with some brag-worthy sensorial upgrades.

For starters, in at least one auditorium they're installing a 4D screen with "synchronized motion seats and environmental effects such as wind, rain, snow, fog and lightning."

In another, they'll build a ScreenX, which the Hollywood Reporter describes as a "270-degree, three-screen multi-projection system that uses a proprietary technique to expand select key scenes of feature films to the left- and right-side walls."

(But) the theater won't open until early 2020 . . . . It may, however, help to reinvigorate the Van Ness corridor, which has been the victim of incessant (and extremely delayed) street construction for years . . . .

Exclusive: Dutch developer to break ground on 195-room Union Square hotel
By Katie Burke – Food/Hospitality/Retail Reporter, San Francisco Business Times
Apr 22, 2019, 6:04am PDT Updated 4 hours ago

Another San Francisco hotel is breaking ground with the construction of a 195-room Union Square development.

Amsterdam-based citizenM will begin work Thursday on its 12-story property at 72 Ellis St., the operator's first of three proposed developments in California.

The hotel should be delivered sometime in the first quarter of 2021. The developer is also working on another hotel in SoMa at 816 Folsom St . . . .

In addition to its newness factor, the citizenM Union Square will include a public rooftop space, high-tech amenities and standard features such as a fitness center, meeting rooms and up to 6,100 square feet of ground-floor retail space.

Lee said the retail space was designed to accommodate soft goods or food and beverage uses . . . .

"We don’t want to be just another building. We want to become part of the neighborhood’s fabric while showing San Francisco’s visitors a different side of the city," said Chadha . . . .

For citizenM, that will mean rooms with wall-to-wall mattresses, a library of on-demand movies and an iPad that controls everything from the blinds and television to lights. The hotel, which was designed by Gensler, is being built by Webcor . . . .

“Our site selection process is fairly simple," he said. The company finds "prime sites (that) allow our guests to not only walk to destinations such as the Moscone Center, but just as easily the Orpheum theater or the American Conservatory Theater. We hope to integrate ourselves into the neighborhood, and through jobs, tax revenue and the arts, offer back as much as we take in from this incredible city.”

Wall to wall mattresses . . . within walking distance of Tenderloin hookers!

Walked by today and the Citizen M hotel site at 72 Ellis is fenced (was formerly a functioning surface parking lot) but there's nothing on site yet.

this sounds promising

Quote:
Related California, the developer selected to construct a fire station at 530 Sansome St., is proposing to combine that property with an adjacent parcel just to the east at 425-439 Washington St.

Taken together the combined development would include a new firehouse, 35 deluxe condos, a 200-room fitness-oriented Equinox Hotel, and a 36,000-square-foot athletic club.

While the condos, gym and hotel will be high-end, the project will also provide $12.1 million in fees to help fund an affordable housing development nearby at 772 Pacific Ave. in Chinatown.

Demolition - Polk, Sutter, Hemlock Streets

Many businesses have come & gone in this building. The Giraffe bar used to be on the corner of Polk & Hemlock. On the Sutter side there was an antique store. Soon most of us will have forgotten what was on the corner!

That’s another student housing building by Panoramic (builders of the one at Mission and Ninth). I went on a hard hat tour through it on March 27th, when only four floors were up.

^^Very convenient to Best Buy and, more importantly, the Tonayense Taco Truck because all impoverished students in SF should be living on burritos and theirs are among the best.
