if i'm not mistaken, both are still under construction. one rincon hill got its final approvals in january, and i think emporis was mistaken because i don't recall the intercontinental hotel ever being on hold.

this thread needs a bump.

the rendering for 535 Mission arrives:

And here's a rendering of 535 Mission in context:

here's an updated image of 325 fremont:



apparently, the original developer is selling the entitlements to the site. hopefully, this site will be combined with the adjacent lot and a new design/ tower will come out of it. although this design is interesting, it's far too short for rincon hill. it should be atleast 300'.

It started in 10/05 I think...so it has been ongoing for about 6 months. I heard today that work is being started on the first floor, and completion is scheduled for the end of 2008.

Well today I saw that some landscaping is going in around the base of the Watermark (the 2 sides of the building in the parking lot)...hopefully some trees to make it look better. The plan is that eventually the parking lot will be replaced by residential/retail. But who knows when that will be. From what I understand, it will be built in conjunction with the cruise ship terminal, which probably won't begin until 2008 at the earliest.

Thx for the info ACSF, and welcome to the forum

I think that with the sales of the Watermark being so brisk, and with the office market improving, construction will start around 2007. I don't see why they would wait so long to begin. Also, the Bryant Street Wharf will be done this year, along with the Rincon Park restaurants, so it's coming together rather nicely.

And South Beach, which had always been kind of mediocre, is really stepping it up and becoming quite the neighborhood. It's residential has gotten a boost from the aforementioned projects, as well as Mission Bay and Rincon Hill. Hopefully something will come of those two empty parking lots on Brannan.

The brannan street wharf concept design is completed and the cost analysis and schematics are underway.

the rincon restaurants are scheduled to commence construction in June 2006.

here are some renderings of the proposed 340-350 fremont street tower from the recently published DEIR:

Rincon Hill will totally change the skyline from the Bay Bridge, I didn't realize it was right there on the 101.

I looked at the construction cam of Rincon Hill and it doesn't look like there is any activity at the site.
