I was walking by Page between Baker and Broderick today. The abandoned building there has been torn down , there were earth movers busy and a Webcor sign up. Anyone knows what's planned for this site?

Looking at the best images that I have of the plans there are dark panels & windows for the balconies only - hopefully this is the case and what is pictured is for that purpose only.
Six months ago I saw a window in a packing crate in the parking lot on Hayes next to 100 Van Ness. It was in a wooden crate & difficult to see from the street. I am told by someone in construction that it is usual to have a sample for on site. It is a very light tinted green? glass. Hopefully that is what will cover most of the building. We don't need another black or gray building in the neighborhood.

The first panels are being installed today on the lowest level. I think (and hope) that this is the color only for the first few floors. As seen in the architects drawing submitted to the city of San Francisco there are gray panels on the lower level only. The drawing & photograph are of the east side of 100 Van Ness.

Ugh. Panels always make for a great pedestrian experience. /sarcasm

Grabbed a shot of the new control tower at SFO on my way out of town yesterday. Unfortunately, it's from a distance, on a phone, through a tinted window.

I'm really bummed these building lost all of their signature Arquitectonica 'holes'.
Hopefully, this turns out well:

A landscaped plaza will span between the towers of Phases 2 and 3 for a 40,000-square-foot green oasis amidst the concrete bustle of the neighborhood. Modern water features and sculptural elements of mythic proportions will make a visit to this urban garden no ordinary stroll in the park.
1977's post - Updated rendering of Trinity Place - Phase 3
1977 - Thanks for the update & picture. I have become very cynical about architectural drawings delivered to the city as the project seems to almost always change from the original design. I blame the city of San Francisco for not making developers build what they applied for. The design is not as nice as we were led to believe.
I was by the site today - a very large blue crane is onsite now with a smaller digger.
The new tenants of Phase 3 had better have good window blinds facing the Trinity Place headquarters on Market Street. Several weeks ago the glass pyramid atop the building was repaired and extremely bright lights were installed inside of it. It is blinding 2 blocks away in my apartment. The lights come on for 2-1/2 hours.

I'm guessing! This proposal came before the design committee very late on a Friday afternoon, last item on the agenda, with blurry eyes, everyone eager to leave for the weekend?

They were so tired, the board didn't even bother to vote on the staff recommendation to add Juliet balconies.

I am confused about this rendering. Am i correct to say that this building is facing Mission Street? If so, what is the green park across the street. Is it just for esthetics?

Pure deception, like everything else about this project.
Renderings often include non-existent green space which takes the place of existing buildings that would block the view of the building in the rendering. Though they could just leave those areas blank, instead of depicting them as covered in grass. You can see the same thing done in some of the renderings for Lumina.
curbedsf and socketsite blurbed about the groundbreaking at 400 Grove at Gough, to fill in another Central Freeway parcel, across the street from Ivy in Hayes Valley. render courtesy socketsite:
socketsite notes that the new request for proposals for TB block 8 got much more enthusiastic response this time around vs 2009. proposals/designs due Feb 26
