Work gets under way at disputed S.F. site

Webcor Builders has begun excavation work at a disputed high-rise construction site at 80 Natoma St. in downtown San Francisco, on the same land where regional transit officials want to build a new Transbay Terminal.

Webcor is digging down about 12 feet to prepare the parcel for construction of a 51-story condominium tower that Myers Development Co. is legally entitled to build.

Myers and the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, which is responsible for planning the terminal, are negotiating to make both projects possible. Plans for the terminal call for high-speed rail lines to go underneath the Myers property. The excavation work is starting on the side of the parcel farthest away from the area of conflict, said Todd Saunders, a Myers vice president.
