Thanks for the great photos! According to the latest planning doc, there will be five stories of underground parking. As for excavation:
Quote:
The building, a tower-on-podium design, would have a reinforced concrete frame constructed on a mat foundation and would require excavation to a depth of approximately 65 feet, and would occupy the entire 15,025 square-foot lot.
Build Group’s Project Director Andy Schreck said the project broke ground April 3 and crews are now working on the shoring of the excavation, which will go down five levels. He said there would be about 200 workers per day on the project at peak construction. The building will be structural concrete with a unitized glass and aluminum curtain wall. The project is scheduled to be completed by December 2015.
It looks like excavation is all but complete, and rebar for the spot where the core will presumably rise is in place:
(Sorry about the fence, couldn't get a clean shot looking straight down.)
Over in the far right corner is the last of the dirt they were lifting out with the tower crane:

On Saturday night San Francisco-based contractor Build Group completed an 21-hour mat pour for the tower, which is being designed by HKS. The pour started at 6 p.m. on Saturday night and didn’t wrap up until 2:30 p.m. the next day. Mat sections ranged from five to seven feet thick to 14-feet thick in the shear walls around the core of the building.
Wow, it feels like they are flying on this one. The tops of the rebar are already at ground level. I guess having a smallish footprint means it goes vertical more quickly.

They came up a floor - looks like another slab pour will be this week sometime, and in a couple weeks they'll be out of the hole! No more need to "look down" into the hole.
Returning to the forum after an extended absence, I was so happy and overjoyed to see this finally going through, its always been one of my favorites. I'm sorry I missed out on checking out that gigantic hole in the ground, its certainly the deepest I've seen in some time. Next time I'm around I'll see if I can get a few pictures

Checking out the progress today, though because its my first time there I couldn't find an adequate spot
