iamfishhead, homebucket - I spoke to an engineer at the site today. He told me that tanks hold grout used in conjunction with the drilling & beams put in the holes.

07/27/2022 - An I-Beam shortly after the equipment used to put it in the ground was removed. I was lucky to see the action!

Thanks for the update, Jerry! Keep it up! Especially since you're so close to the action too.

Lendlease Holds Official Groundbreaking Ceremony For 30 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco

BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2022

With site work already underway, Lendlease and city leaders have celebrated the official groundbreaking ceremony of 30 Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco’s Civic Center. The 47-story project, now titled Hayes Point, is set to open by 2025, with 333 homes above offices and retail.

Valued at over a billion dollars, Hayes Point is the largest investment made by the Australia-based developer in the Americas. Lendlease credits its centralized vertical integration with allowing the plan to move ahead while so many others remain stalled. The firm is responsible for financing, development, and construction.

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, San Francisco Mayor London Breed told the audience, “this is exactly the type of project we need to be doing in San Francisco,” praising the integration of housing, retail, and offices. The Mayor also pointed out how the plan integrates arts, community event space, and a public plaza close to public transit.

Solomon Cordwell Buenz is the project architect. The 540-foot tall design communicates the project’s multipurpose function by delineating the 130-foot office-filled podium from the apartment tower. The pinched corner overlooking Van Ness and Market Street creates a striking visual focal point for pedestrians, while the sloped rooftop will contribute to the growing high-rise cluster at The Hub.

09/12/2022 - Malcom equipment being taken apart. The project is now known as Hayes Point. A ceremony has been held for the official start of the project.
(I spent two weeks in France enjoying architecture from Bordeaux to Toulouse. On the 9 hour flight from London to San Francisco Covid caught up with me!)

Sorry to hear that. Get well soon!

The website for this project has a refined rendering of the podium section, the bronze looks super nice: https://hayespoint.com/

Agreed. It looks fantastic! I'll include it here as well.

It is interesting to see the office space/condo mix. I would rather this all be apartments since I worry the condos will be for out of town investors and the office space will sit vacant given the current state of things.

Regardless, this building looks fantastic and I am looking forward to seeing it rise.

Walked past the site on Sunday night. I noticed two big cranes there. I hope to see more activity!

Excellent!

poor lighting, but was by there today

Jerry of San Fran · #**137** Posted **Nov 14, 2022, 8:28 PM**

timbad - great, a nice unobstructed view!

It's so fantastic for that area this project is going up.

Mixed usage buildings like these are the future across this city, and I think Lendlease knows it.

Now if only we could spend less than the next two decades trying to apply the same learnings to the now-empty downtown...

12/19/2022 - Had not been by in a long time. See some giant rusty pipes for support. Anyone know what the name of them?
