SAN FRANCISCO | 10th and Market | 352 FT / 107 M | 37 FLOORS - Page 14

12/13/12 by me. This project is really exciting, I stand by the simple fact that all mid-market needs is more population density to become a cleaner, safer, and more established main avenue through to Van Ness.

I like the dark color of the building, it's a nice contrast to the ugly beige/off-white wall that's next to it. Also it looks like it's on floor 21, so only 3 more floors to go until that tower is topped out.

Remember though that the former BofA Data Center, the building to the west of this one, is about to get a major makeover as the new headquarters for Square. It's definitely becoming an exciting neighborhood!

Cool, I didn't know there was a makeover planned for that building. Got any more info? I can't seem to find any details on socketsite except that they're adding a kitchen and some "amenities", and that Square will move in in 2013.

The only link I can find is for SF Business Times subscribers, so it won't help to share it unless you are one. Basically, the October 26th edition said:

> Square leased 246,078 sq ft but has an expansion option for 81,354 more to take it to 327,432.
> The entire block of 1455 Market will be altered, just like 1355 for Twitter and 1275 for Dolby.
> 49 new windows will be cut into the east, west, and south sides of the building.
> The architecture firm for the space (Bohlin Cywindki Jackson) is famous for its design of Apple stores.
> "There will be a chef's kitchen and gym on the ninth floor that will spill out onto two large roof decks" with bocce courts, fire pits and cabanas.
> Signage on the building will be prominent.
> The space will feature open, wide staircases common in Apple stores.
The building has huge floorplates, high ceilings and, since it is a data center, power supplies that far exceed other properties.

All is good with this one, a major furtherance of the renaissance of Market Street!

a bunch of signage just went up for this complex stating that it will be open fall 2013 and listing website as www.rentnema.com. site doesn't have any content yet though.

from this afternoon... I like the dark color, think it looks slick

peanut gallery · #**270** Posted **Jan 22, 2013, 9:03 AM**

I agree, it looks nice. Did you notice any of that weaving applique that is part of the 1% public art installation? It would be on the other side of the southern tower.

^Saw this project on the skyline for the first time yesterday, returning to town on 101. It looks pretty good--too bad it will be obscured by a less interesting tower eventually.

completely forgot to look for it!

^lol! As my father always used to say: you gotta leave something for next time.

fimiak · #**274** Posted **Feb 12, 2013, 10:23 PM**

Updates!

2/12

fflint · #**275** Posted **Feb 12, 2013, 10:46 PM**

I *love* the dark facade--it's really a shame it will be completely obscured by the corner tower!

peanut gallery · #**276** Posted **Feb 12, 2013, 11:53 PM**

Slick! Dare I say it was worth the wait?

fflint - will it completely obscure that tower? I didn't realize the corner building would be that tall. That's a real shame because I love the skin on the southern side.

fflint · #**277** Posted **Feb 12, 2013, 11:57 PM**

IIRC the new corner tower will be taller than that facade, yes.

1977 · #**278** Posted **Feb 13, 2013, 2:10 AM**

Great shots! Thanks for the update.

Regarding the dark facade...I'm pretty sure we'll be getting more of it along Market and Tenth as well. At least it looks that way in the renderings.

Also, this is a little off topic, but Daniel Patterson (Coi, Plum, Haven, etc.) is opening a restaurant across the street. IMO, this speaks volumes about Market/Civic Center's recent turnaround.

easy as pie · #**279** Posted **Feb 13, 2013, 5:55 AM**

^ yeah, he's paying 12k/month for the space, occupancy 70. wow.

fimiak · #**280** Posted **Feb 13, 2013, 6:43 PM**

I wonder if they are trying to complete the entire southern tower and begin sales before finishing the Market st. side. It would be advantageous to sell those southern apartments to people who are not aware of the impending building on 10th and mission blocking their view by 2015.
