the sidewalks along Beale are taking shape, and when that wraps up that will take care of the flurry of construction activity south of Folsom for a while

I'd forgotten about this one out toward the end of Sloat, between the Zoo and the end of the L streetcar line



jumping back to the fringes of Mission Bay...

the southern of the two projects on Indiana, with the one on 23rd in the distance



a few shots of Potrero1010 as it moves closer to wrapping up

Is the skyscraper building boom peaking?

Perhaps, according to some sources. Condo towers especially seem overbuilt, as foreign buyers pull back. The Vancouver boom especially has popped, and sales and prices are plunging. NYC is also slowing; condo prices in the large number of new towers nearing completion are falling as buyers seem scarce & picky. Chicago has turned glacial, with only a few buildings under construction. Red hot Toronto is slowing too. I think the L.A., S.F. & San Diego booms could slow, but not grind to a halt for this cycle unless the economy enters a recession. Office rents are holding up well, especially in S.F., but a recession could change that too. The current boom has been wonderful & amazing, producing Salesforce in S.F. & Wilshire Grand in L.A., and innumerable other towers, so enjoy it while it lasts.

This is a bit off topic but it seemed interesting when I noticed this.

One city that at least right now seems to be a somewhat surprising exception is Boston which has one building with the prep work almost finished and two that have foundation work starting with several other skyscrapers set to begin construction within the next year to two years. It seems to me to strike an interesting contrast with most other cities.

Yeah, Boston is booming. New Ritz Carlton will be the city's tallest.

One thing I forgot to mention is that so many of the new towers (on the west coast at least) are financed by mainland Chinese money. If and when that dries up, expect to see fewer new towers. In Vancouver they passed a law making it harder for Chinese to come in and scoop up properties, especially single family houses. Locals were being priced out. But the unintended consequences included a drying up of construction financing for new towers. I don't know about S.F., but in L.A. (as well as Vancouver) many of the new towers are financed by Chinese money (Metro complex, Oceanwide, etc.). Wilshire Grand was a So. Korean project. I believe the Oceanwide complex planned for S.F. is Chinese financed--correct me if I'm wrong. I hope it doesn't happen, because the boom has been fun, but a slowdown (at least) could be at hand.

P.S. what is the latest on the Millenium Tower issue? It was widely covered a couple of months ago. Haven't seen anything for a while. Anybody have an update? Thanks!

It's a new Four Seasons that is being built and it will only be the new second tallest there still aren't any proposals for anything taller than 222 Clarendon (Hancock Tower).

It's far more than that and is a serious issue, especially for the current condo owners. The City is gearing up to launch an official investigation; this could go on for a long time because of the big money and parties involved. There will also be suits and counter suits.

Yes, 4 Seasons. I just stayed in a Ritz Carlton so I have that name in my head.
