They are columns, not beams.

^ I am at a complete loss for what the scaffolding will be used for?

Protection for people using the alleyway?

Reminiscence · #**491** Posted **Jun 23, 2015, 12:25 AM**

^^ I was wondering the same thing, then I thought that maybe they will serve as support for the diagonal (concrete?) base seen in previous plans that will in turn support floors above the office lobby? Something like what they did for 350 Mission.

Core is rising baby!

Here's a look at the site from 50 Beale. Bonus shots of the Transbay Center and three other towers rising in the background.

^No concrete core on this one?

All steel for this one. It should start rising fast.

It is indeed a walkway.

Nice!

This tower reminds me so much of the Bank of China tower in HK. This is truly a great piece of architecture, and one that I've been waiting eagerly to rise. A great tower for an iconic skyline.
