It looks like they are setting up concrete forms for the 'keyhole' of the transbay center.
It is amazing how much Salesforce already dominates the context of this block when walking by. Two new office buildings, and this. This is a very dense part of the city and it is mesmerizing to be there. There are workers going 24/7, and the night was so calm and well lit due to low clouds and bright construction lights that workers were moving as if it was broad daylight.
This is going to be a neighborhood monster by the end of the year..the forms are moving so fast I would not be surprised if the core nearly tops out by the end of December. I am guessing its just under 200 feet, and will be at ~225 feet by the middle of April. That means since the beginning of Jan (approximate street level date on core), about 75ft per month on the core. So for the remaining ~9 months about 675 feet, which brings the core to 900 feet by the end of Dec. Most likely the core shrinks a little bit about halfway up, so the form raising will be even faster. Please note, my estimates are just that.
