Nice, that's a huge improvement over the old design.

And a view from the Bay Bridge. The crown looks great at night, imo.

Looks a lot better, and I hope they break ground this year.
It kinda looks like a cross between Millennium Tower and the new 201 Folsom proposal. |
great news :cheers:

beautiful

There are some similarities to the Regatta in Chicago, but I like this one a LOT better. I love how the top slopes up, referencing both Rincon Hill and the two towers above it. Very contextual. Plus it's not marred by the ugly backside that Regatta ended up with. Regatta reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld when he dated the woman who looked great in certain light and almost scary in other light.
|
See now, with this building added, the 2nd Rincon Hill tower doesn't look so bad (even though it is still facing the wrong direction).
Nice design. |

This is beautiful! Please please please build it!

Looks very nice, certainly an improvement.
|
I know I said this in the SF construction forum, but I still can't get over how beautiful this redesign looks. Its many times better than the original. I had not seen pictures of the crown before I visited this specific thread, and I think it looks splendid. We could always use more buildings with well designed and well lit crowns. Can't wait for this one!
|
What an improvement! This could be the jewel of Rincon Hill. Love the sloped and lit crown and the lowrise is immensely better than what we saw before. Also, it's not clear in these renderings but there is what I assume to be common space on the roof, which includes trees. One of the other sites had an overhead rendering showing this. I'm very excited about this one.
Would 333 Fremont construction affect the start date for this? They're excavating a huge hole for that and I'm wondering if they would need to at least be at ground level on that project before excavating for this one (or at least the lowrise part of this). |
That socketsite article from back in July said they hoped to break ground by the end of the year. However, I can't find any permit activity (maybe it's under a different address), other than shoring for 333 Fremont, so maybe they have to wait until that project is further along.
One interesting thing about the 2008 recession is that it may have saved us from the bland concrete-and-glass look that overwhelms parts of Vancouver now (as seen in the photo on the previous page). The redesigns of 201 Folsom, 340 Fremont, and this one are all big improvements over the previous designs. |
This looks great! I hope this one goes ahead.

I found an article from September that says this might start in Spring:
