this one seems to be moving quickly these days - here looking south across Howard from FS IV. the characteristic notch in the corner is noticeable now:

looking east down Howard...

good stuff

given its prime location, not sure why they settled on just 10 stories; that seems like the opportune location for something like 40...though startups may be averse to high rise offices

I like this photo a lot, showing the potential of a small, old-style building next to a new, glassy structure. Kind of like the Salt House building next to 555 Mission St.

I agree, and is why I like Foundry II so much, because it incorporates an old brick building - love how the whole thing works as a unit with the added 'texture'. anyway, here is the same shot, from today:



and a couple angles we haven't seen in a while... here looking north down First:



and west along Howard:

in a view soon to be blocked by spring leaves, main part of the building is up, now just the glassy roof section to go:

looking at the east side of the building, the surface panels are going up. from the renderings, I had thought FS III was going to be similar in yellow color to FS I, but it looks like this one will be much paler, basically a cream color. we'll have to wait and see, but I think it will look good with the green glass.

Looking good timbad, thanks for posting! It's gratifying that the entire Foundry Square project will finally be finished; it's been a long time since the first building (north across Howard) was constructed.

not too different, but a bit more of the glass has gone in on Howard:

Why does this building look so much cheaper than the others?

Probably because the fanciest parts of the other buildings - the full-wall sheets of glass - haven't gone in on this building yet.

I disagree- the other buildings have panels of what looks to be marble or shale. This one looks like clapboard.

I think it looks cheaper because of the color of the stone that they chose - it looks like precast.
