This is from Feb of last year:

San Francisco’s Mid-Market — that long-blighted zone now starting to boom — has just survived a narrow escape.

The close call was at Eighth and Market streets, where a slab of 500 apartments was approved in 2006 as part of a larger project. After a prolonged effort to water down the dense but dynamic design, the developers have turned back the clock and embraced their original scheme.

Fortunately, the Planning Department refused to let the approved designs be diluted. And on Friday, Fort-Brescia met with planning staff to present a revision that, essentially, is 2006 all over again. The portal is back, as is the cantilever above the void. The storefronts along Market are more varied, and there’s room for a two-level grocery store that would connect to the concourse at the Civic Center BART Station.

The current proposal for the final phase of Trinity Place, which is set to rise across from UN Plaza and the Orpheum Theatre at 8th and Market streets. The cantilevered summit and through-block portal in the renderings shown to city planners in February of 2016 are a return to the approved 2006 design; last year, the developer proposed a much less adventurous slab.
I guess it's not 100% in stone, but we'll find out soon enough.
