Great shot. I knew SFT and Fremont would dramatically change the skyline but jeesh. Still shocking to see the major jump in height after so many years of a having a plateau.

lol, I assume you're referring to me?

If so, all i did was refute your weird claim that they took artistic liberties by including sunshine and deciduous trees in the rendering.

We are lucky though but he's NYC to Austin TX so he's seen lots of both too

I'm actually back in NYC for a bit now, but even though I don't post often, I have kept up with this site regularly for years and have visited San Francisco, and even the not-nice corners have some nice aspects, in my humble opinion. You have a very high net niceness.

Looks like demo has begun for 1554 Market St. This project:

Awesome aerial - I count nine projects under construction plus two more sites going through the approval phase.

Blurry, but definitely gives the sense that the center and focus of the skyline have shifted to SoMa:

While I was in Poland last week a building disappeared! I'm glad to see the site finally being cleared for the new development. The block between Oak and Market Streets is getting a lot of new building in the next few years.

Apologize if this has been posted before, but its the first time I'm seeing it (rendering that is). Browsing Foster and Partners and stumbled upon this. Tried going back several pages and didn't see it. Is this new rendering for Oceanwide Center?

Yes it is. Isn't it awesome? Can't wait for this one to go up...

I like this plan view, but some of the perspective look odd. For example, on the bottom left, the Chase building looks to be slanted in the opposite direction to the rest of the buildings around it. Is this a composite photo?

This model is intended to highlight Oceanwide Center, but shows much of what is to come in the main part of downtown San Francisco in the next few years. The model was completed before designs for Parcel F were released, so that building is missing.

Also, check out the vertical lines on the PG&E building.

Happy new year! 2016 may have been disappointing in many ways, but San Francisco's skyline progress was not one of them. Here's to continued growth and more to anticipate in 2017!

I saw a notice at 1500-1540 Market St. for a hearing on January 5th before the San Francisco Planning Dept. Below in part is from the department's calendar. This one will be exciting to see get built. Glad to see some movement on this!

1500-1540 MARKET STREET/ONE OAK STREET - Public Hearing on the Draft Environmental Impact Report. The approximately 18,375-square-foot project site (Assessor Block 0836, Lots: 001, 002, 003, 004, 005) (District 5) is located at the intersection of Market and Oak Streets at Van Ness Avenue in the C-3-G (Downtown Commercial, General) use district, the Van Ness and Market Downtown Residential Special Use District, and is within a 120/400-R-2 Height and Bulk District. The project entails demolition of the site’s two existing buildings (at 1500 Market Street on Lot 1, currently accommodating convenience retail use; and 1540 Market Street on Lot 5, occupied by office use) and construction of a 310-unit, 40-story residential tower (to a height of 420 foot-tall, including rooftop mechanical equipment) with ground-floor commercial space, an off-street loading space, and subsurface parking garage with 155 spaces, resident bicycle parking in a second-floor mezzanine and bicycle parking for visitors in racks on adjacent sidewalks.

I didn't take the shot, but the flickr tags indicate it's near the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley.
