It's been a while since I posted anything here, soo...
The pic from the bridge isn't too bad. The other tower crane behind the Infinity II (near the JP Morgan Chase tower) is Barclay's future HQ.
Well, work is progressing really fast on the site. The piece of the third tower crane (probably the first, foundation piece) that lay on Spear St. for like a week or so, waiting for the footings to be modified so it could be firmly locked into the concrete is finally in the pit now. Work on the third tower crane seems to be running behind schedule, since it should be up by now (there's no sign of it on from the street. Safety netting is totally in place to catch anyone or anything that falls down. The small, purple wall that used to only cover two vertical pipes (anyone remember from 7/25?) and made me think it was curtainwall is now covering a large part of the Infinity II (see pics) 35 storey tower. I think work on the 40 storey tower, or Infinity I has begun already and which one is the true height of the tower, 400' as listed here and sfcityscape.com or 450' (137 m) on emporis.com? Anyway, the Infinity I has finished floors reaching to 13 stories and the framework reaches 15 stories. The concrete core is around 19-20 stories high and probably is visible from Treasure Island. The midrise reaches to the 5th storey.
Old, old pics from 8/18 (from near the Millennium Tower).
Work on the midrise.
Not too old pics from 8/25.
Traveling north on I-280 (near 22nd St.) on a foggy morning to my work, anyone spot BOTH the Rincon Hill and the Infinity tower crane? When the concrete structure of the Infinity II building catches up to the crane, the skyline will be affected.
Heading towards the site on Folsom St.
Getting closer and more curtainwall.
Midrise.
Infinity II
View of the concrete core and work continuing and power line.
More glass and the little piece of grey concrete sticking out.
Purple wall on the edge. They put a lot up from 8/20 to 8/25 it seems. I just hope that's not the final color.
Another view.
Mobile crane and midrise.
More glass and the footing of the tall crane.
They placed the first piece of the third tower crane.
Cranes.
Another pic of cranes.
The big pit, no more dirt, only concrete and rebar, and the piece of tower crane seems to be hidden behind that grey box.
At this time I left to take pics of Rincon Hill, but I came back.
Crane from near the gas station, with the 28 storey Metro tower to the left and the 20 storey Avalon.
Elevator and glass.
Worksite on 8/28.
Structure is getting closer to the crane, a third tower crane raise seems likely in September.
These are the last pics for a while from me on this project, I'll be in the skyscraper city of the world, Hong Kong.
