SAN FRANCISCO | 10th and Market | 352 FT / 107 M | 37 FLOORS

[WonderlandPark]

I only count 22-23 stories, and it looks like they are not going higher. The thread title says 37 stories, is the title outdated?

This project has 2 towers. The tower that hasn't topped out will reach 37 stories. See renderings on e.g., page 8 of this thread

Oh, I was going by the little thumbnail pic at the page top. thx. Hard to tell from that. This is a great project and an important location.

also, regarding the sales comment a few posts back, i believe that the whole complex is rentals.

This whole thing looks clunky to me.

It would have been better to incorporate all the square footage from the low and midrises hanging around all over the place and put that into make the tower taller.

Let's get some pictures on this page.

I think this building is about the best anybody could have ever asked for at 10th and Market, having said that, I agree that the shape is a little strange. I would like to see new projects reclaim some traditional elements. Market st. could look amazing with flat-iron building shapes and facades with modern materials. I hope the entire 5th to van ness corridor is refurbished or rebuilt in the next decade.

I think it's a good look...far better than what was there and far better than that public housing project otherwise known as Trinity

Updates from today; apologies for the poor angles

I presume the blue glass on the Market Street side of the south tower will be used as the main facade for the taller tower and can't wait to see it start to emerge. I like the small amounts we can see in these photos and hope that in large quantity, it will look really great.

I know I dropped these in the general SF thread, but this is a special project and these deserve to be displayed here as well.

a context shot of the glass going in at street level along Tenth (which you can see closer-up in fimiak's photo)



I noticed that the glass on the east and north sides of the south tower is only as blue as the sky on a particular day:



and in case it is not obvious, the art portion of the project, the woven pattern on the north side of the south tower, has not been installed yet, but I could just make out some sort of tracing, or metal framing, on the concrete in prep for it. think you can barely see it in the pic

Love the skin on this one. I think this is the most handsome building to come along in quite some time.

Question... when they count 'towers' does this project count as two? or one? since they share a podium. I too like how the skin is coming out. Anxious to see art piece and how the whole design turns out.

It's still structurally a freestanding building, so it should be two towers, just like One Rincon Hill.

3/9 Lots more glass all around this building's base ready to go up.

I wonder how much higher it will rise?

Fox Plaza is 354' and this is supposed to be 352'--I wonder if that is with or without its substantial crown, but I presume that is including it.

In May, the giant crane is going to be erected on 100 Van Ness so that they can begin removing the concrete panels. This area will really show up then--I'm really looking forward to it!!

My pics.

Man, this is a sharp looking building.
