this article in the 222 Second St thread, but the subject matter is so wide-sweeping and promising for large-scale office development in the city that I think we should discuss it here as well. Basically, office space is in such high demand that everything that could be renovated has been (or is in process) and the only option left is new construction.
There's so much here that I almost don't know where to start. I'm perhaps most excited about the mention of 535 Mission. JK Dineen, who most definitely knows his stuff, believes it will be the next office project to start (re-start actually). He also mentions a more specific start "date" for Transbay: next summer.
I'd post an excerpt, but it's all so encouraging you should just
click over and read the whole thing. Hard to believe there could be many more cranes filling the skies in the coming months (especially considering how many are already in action). And keep in mind, this doesn't even touch on what's happening on Rincon Hill, which is all residential.
