Much more detailed information about the building dimensions and setbacks at SocketSite. |
You can get the images (and more) without the socketsite watermark at http://propertymap.sfplanning.org/
It really bugs me that they put their watermark on images they didn't create or own |
Really hope they keep this design.

Good news! Extending the skyline more south and it gives more hotel options for events at both Oracle Park and Chase Center.

Approved.

This is great. That central SOMA area is an absolute no-brainer for more density
|
Here comes the further extension of the skyline. The new SoMA zoning is gonna expand on an already modern and impressive skyline.

Very nice!
So much for all of the morons who think that everyone is fleeing SF. |
The updated specs:
- two 39-story, 429 ft towers - 1,148 units - 9,450 sq ft retail - 7,740 sq ft POPOS - Underground parking for 283 cars and 427 bicycles - Notable public transportation: diagonal to San Francisco Caltrain station, one block from 4th & King Muni Metro station, one block from 4th & Brannan Muni Metro station |
So it’s these two boxes and not the sloping towers?

What a disappointment.

We’ll wait for real designs, but man that BIG design was cool. Sad to see it go, but far happier to see this project alive. All the tenants on that corner are now gone, so it’s going to turn into a blight quickly. Like others said it’s quite possible the best intersection of public transit in the city currently, and so totally deserves this level of density.

See the 395 3rd Street massing concepts vs actual renderings to see how big of a difference an actual design can make. https://sfyimby.com/wp-content/uploa...en-777x485.jpg https://sfyimby.com/wp-content/uploa...nz-777x382.jpg Source: SF YIMBY |
Part of the SFYIMBY article that stands out to me is this:

This implies that even the current proposed massing won't be accurate to whatever may ultimately get approved, as the towers are required to appear substantially different. Personally I think a pair of twin towers would be cool, as it's something interesting that's missing from the SF skyline but can be found in many other cities. Even if the towers are boring on their own, they can become a landmark just by being duplicates of each other standing out in an area where they already stand out for their height. |
