The Chronicle didn't narrow down the location but they did say it would be near this area.
So, I am hoping that it is the Linbeck mixed-use project and that it involves the Mandarin Oriental!  |
These rumors are really starting to add up. The mayor was also real happen a few weeks back about an unnamed project happening. This must be it.

The towers look very much alike. Here is a photo of the MO in Chicago, possibly Houston, then Dallas:
