Since 1999, SkyscraperPage.com's forum has been one of the most active skyscraper enthusiast communities on the web. The global membership discusses development news and construction activity on projects from around the world, alongside discussions on urban design, architecture, transportation and many other topics. SkyscraperPage.com also features unique skyscraper diagrams, a database of construction activity, and publishes popular skyscraper posters.
The South Carolina-based developer, which has 200,000 rental housing units under management, has filed an application to build 87 units at 2198 Market St., a former Shell gas station. The project is being designed by HellerManus.
The project site consists of a triangular shaped lot with frontage on Market and Sanchez Streets. The site was recently rezoned as part of the Market and Octavia Plan Area. “The idea is to reflect the excitement of the area, but also respond to the scale on Market Street and Sanchez Street,” said Clark Manus, a principle with HellerManus.
It sounds like this one is still being designed at this point, so it's probably at least a year or two from ground breaking. It'll be across the street from two other projects already under construction, 2200 Market and 2175 Market.
yeah, graystar has been getting that together for a little while now, negotiating the bmr numbers with the community per a bax article a couple months back, but that the despicable value architects heller/manus are designing it is a bit of a scoop, hopefully they don't fuck it up too badly. should be a great new addition in terms of scale, intensification and getting the retail wall to the end of the block, however.
The exterior will be clad in a custom composite material: glass fiber-reinforced concrete.

Instead of focusing on the grand boulevards, the design opens up access to the smaller streets—”a very important change psychologically,” Benezra says. Minna and Natoma streets could become new hubs for restaurants and shops.

Please, keep Heller Manus out of the neighborhoods. Leave it to a crappy out of town developer to hire them.
Heller Manus did design 181 Fremont though. Sure, they've designed a ton of ugly buildings over the years, but maybe 181 Fremont isn't a fluke, and they're starting to get past their days of shit-tasticness. I hope so, at least.
