Silverado Contractors, which is apparently doing the demo work, ran an ad in this week's edition of the SF Business Times showing deep into the excavation. Unfortunately, I can't find a better version of the phot by Sam Burbank other than to show a screen grab of the ad but even that I think is an image of what's going on we haven't seen before:



PS: This shot couldn't have been taken in 2016 I'm sure.

That's the trouble with this project: We can't see what's happening where it all is happening "way down in the hole". One of these days it's gonna suddenly appear above the ground level when we least expect it.

So true! Many of us have snapped shots of it and they all look 👀 the same.

So, it's all part of the plan to begin 16 weeks of drilling.

  • Crane goes up: April 2018
  • Mat pour: June 2018
  • Rebar above ground: October 2018
  • Level 48 concrete pour: August 2019
  • Level 48 curtain wall: October 2019
  • Crane dismantled: December 2019
  • Certificate of occupancy: June 2020
Just as a reminder

I was at Wise Sons today, and I noticed that the older building's windows on the north side have been entirely replaced with new ones.

I recall the area in 1982. The only real difference from that photo was that the block between Mission and Howard/3rd and 4th had been paved as a parking lot.

I wonder what SF neighborhood will undergo that kind of transformation next in 40 years.

None. I see no way there will be 60s style "urban renewal" again in the US--that's what happened to Yerna Buena remember. It was an infamous "skid row" and the city bulldozed it wholesale like they did parts of the Western Addition. That era is over in SF.

Quote:


. . . in 1954, today's Yerba Buena and Moscone Convention Center were foreshadowed when local developer Ben Swig unveiled a San Francisco Prosperity Plan. Swigs plan included a convention center, a sports stadium, and several high-rise office buildings. Much of that ambitious agenda has been accomplished, and the sports stadium now also looms as inevitable. One obvious prerequisite to South-of-Market development was the removal of the 4,000 residents and more than 700 small businesses. . . . In 1966, following final official approval of the plans by the Board of Supervisors, land acquisition and relocation began in earnest. (Hoover 1979, ix)

Then in 1969, local residents and owners formed Tenants and Owners in Opposition to Redevelopment (TOOR) and filed the first of the many lawsuits that delayed redevelopment and reshaped its ultimate manifestations. During the period of political and legal wrangling, the old neighborhood was significantly dismantled. Housing was demolished and entire streets disappeared. But the construction of new office towers and public buildings awaited the outcome of litigation, so the new neighborhood remained largely unrealized. In the interregnum, different kinds of residents and enterprises flowed into the disrupted niche. There were plenty of vacant buildings, both residential and commercial. Rents and land values were cheap, until speculation and resurgent redevelopment activity began to drive them higher. Street life at night was sparse. The streets emptied out when businesses closed and the daily work force departed. Parking at night was plentiful. The South of Market became a kind of urban frontier. The area began to attract artists looking for affordable studio space, musicians in search of practice venues, squatters who occupied the abandoned factories, and gay men. The relative lack of other nocturnal activity provided a kind of privacy, and urban nightlife that was stigmatized or considered disreputable could flourish in relative obscurity among the warehouses and deserted streets.
