Probably not if you've see it already. I must have missed it being posted here for some reason. It's rare, but it happens.

Ironically the red building next to it is also going to be expanded by ~5 floors. Just announced on socketsite but I'm on my phone and too lazy to link.

1401-1415 Mission Street - Architect: Arquitectonica

The skin on the Mission Street side is now revealed. It does not excite me. Those of you who regularly follow development you already know that the artist rendering of a building rarely looks like the finished product. The architecture here is true but the brick red color is quite different from the drawing. You can see 1401 Mission (not occupied yet) reflected in the glass.

1450 Franklin at Bush, 67 condos

An update on the small tower with the unstable looking construction method...looking far worse than its rendering...instant justifiable NIMBY fuel imo. I don't like the glass or plain walls at all.

Rockwell - 1634 Pine at Franklin

This development is more promising, although I still wonder about the glass.

^Ha!

Epic update, viewguy. Thanks! 1450 Franklin looks terrible so far. Just completely awful. But I have high hopes for 1545 Pine and am glad to see it getting started. If it lives up to the renderings, it should turn out great.

No it hasn't, and thank you. Just to note, the rendering is only for the all glass building in the middle (667 Folsom), not the one with gray vertical panels to the immediate left from our angle, which is at the corner (655 Folsom). That is a separate development (to replace a building hosting a dim sum restaurant) and this is just a placeholder. I don't believe renderings for that have been published. Hopefully, they design something with much more contrast than shown here.

But I love the design for 667. That looks fantastic.

Thanks for that, Jerry. You're right, the lighter panels are a different color than what they depicted, but I personally like it. If I recall correctly, you weren't a big fan of the original rendering either so maybe this one just isn't your cup of tea. I haven't seen it in person yet either. But going by the photos, I think it looks good. Hopefully, it will grow on you a little bit.

There has been a lot of buzz in the Tenderloin lately. There have been a few decent sized developments in the past several years with even more developments in the pipeline. Here's another from The SF Business Times and this one is market rate:

Quote:
A vacant auto shop in the heart of San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood could give way to 51 small apartments if a preliminary proposal just pitched by Dolmen Property Group goes forward.

The low-key developer, which currently has its hands full rehabilitating the Tenderloin’s historic Hibernia Bank into offices, is in contract to purchase 135 Hyde St. property, which sits between Turk Street and Golden Gate Avenue. The neighborhood has become an increasingly popular real estate play for developers who like the low-income neighborhood's proximity to public transit and the Mid-Market tech corridor.

Dolmen Property Group's proposal filed with the Planning Department details plans for an 80-foot-tall apartment building with a private roofdeck and public open space, with “studio/efficiency units” ranging from 396 square feet to 567 square feet. Those don’t qualify as so-called “micro-apartments,” which are usually between 220 and 350 square feet.

This is the latest in a small slew of market-rate housing proposals in one of San Francisco’s poorest neighborhoods. The 31-square-block, predominately low-income neighborhood will soon see its biggest rush of market rate housing development in a century, as more than 1,000 units slowly work their way toward groundbreaking.

-------------

Like most new developments in the Tenderloin – a neighborhood with small plots of land and lots of buildings with historic protections – 135 Hyde may also have complications. The developer and architect Brian Kaufman Design plan to build a separate structure on top of the 20-foot-tall auto shop building, due to its historic designation.
There is a rendering at the link (can't hot link to Business Journal images), but it is hopefully just a preliminary placeholder because it couldn't possibly be more underwhelming.

Sorry for the multiple posts. I forgot I wanted to add this little tidbit from the Business Times:

Quote:
Move over California Street. San Francisco's priciest office rents are now on once-gritty Mission Street.

Companies renting space in offices on Mission Street are paying the highest rents in San Francisco for the first time. Office towers in the Transbay area are renting at the biggest premium in the city, according to a report by real estate services firm JLL. In past years when JLL surveyed the most expensive streets for office towers, buildings along the North Financial District’s California Street came out on top.

---------------

Office rent on Mission Street – between the Embarcadero and 5th Street – hit $89.58 a square foot annually, 34 percent more than the average commercial street in San Francisco. That’s the highest in San Francisco, but dwarfed by some Bay Area counterparts, like Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park ($141.60 a square foot) and Hamilton Avenue in Palo Alto ($124.44.), and by the iconic Fifth Avenue in New York ($119.27).

It’s clear the price of a Mission Street address has gone up recently, and some of what's driving that is the transportation infrastructure, with the Transbay Transit Center and the Central Subway coming online in the next few years. Tech companies are ponying up to secure a piece of the burgeoning area. Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) leased half of its now-namesake tower for $83 a square foot annually last year.

Mission Street’s rise over California Street underlines the power shift in San Francisco’s office market. Mission Street is becoming a more coveted address than California Street, especially as technology companies like Salesforce, WeWork, Trulia (NYSE:TRLA) and New Relic starting to inhabit the former street’s floors.

But there’s a practical read to the data, too. Simply, Mission Street is home to new offices like Salesforce Tower, 535 Mission and 555 Mission. Meanwhile, the North Financial District and California Street has been mostly built out. New buildings begets higher rents, typically. It's also meant the highest returns for landlords selling or recapitalizing buildings.
What do you guys think? Is it access to transportation? Is it due to "hotness". Or simply a function of newer buildings?

Personally, I would guess it's mostly the newness plus access to transportation. There is a flood of commuters coming in from the Peninsula, so being closer to CalTrain must be appealing (both sides of Market have equal access to BART and ferries).

Yeah, no kidding. I couldn't imagine paying a lot for a place to look into that and wouldn't buy a property on a street without buried utilities. The units in back should have a GGB view, at least for now. It was noted on here before the project started that the renderings conveniently didn't show the utility poles and lines.

Don't worry about multiple postings when you're providing good information (although I subscribe to the SFBT and am right there with you)!

It's a very happening, dynamic subdistrict with so much going on that makes it very appealing--just look at how we swoon over it. That, in combination with Caltrain, 280, and 101 access, plus all of the development marching south (Rincon Hill, Mission Bay, Dogpatch, Pier 70, etc., etc.), makes for an unbeatable combination.

350 Bush will somewhat enliven the North Financial District and it will always remain an awesome place in its own right. Once things settle down and blend more together, we will have a knock out downtown.

I'm almost positive that the gray walls are just painted Sheetrock. The renderings show stone siding. The fact that the window frames are not flush with the walls as it is now seems like evidence to that.

1450 Franklin Street - The Spindly Looking Steel Frame

1 - The spindly looking steel frame, if I am not mistaken, is the ConX Tech construction method. There are certain advantages, like made in a factory to fit & put together like an erector set onsite. Interesting details with diagrams here: http://www.conxtech.com/conx-system/

2 - It appears to me that the outside glass insulation is being plastered. I suspect a metal skin may be applied over that.
