interesting that curbed must not think that 100 Folsom is 'on the verge of [breaking ground] within the next few months', since they didn't include it

The Jean Gang tower is listed. It's callled Folsom Bay Tower, not 100 Folsom in the list.

It's listed now, changing the article from 19 to 20 structures, after they realized their omission. The second Oceanwide Center tower is still missing and needs to be included.

the corner of Sixth and Howard. I guess this one was worth the wait





Folsom at Fifth



from Yerba Buena Gardens children's area, the Moscone construction as well as new participants in the sky panorama



more Moscone construction, on Howard






between Lumina and the MTC building, the passageway is finally showing some hints of what it will feel like, with a ramp down and a tree line



South Beach skyline



looking south down on the Schlage Lock site (with Bayshore Caltrain station and Brisbane Baylands in the distance). I haven't noticed any new activity there from the train recently, but from this vantage point I could see that the wall they constructed a while back seems intended to make the site accessible from the street level (Bayshore Blvd and Blanken Ave) where this pic was taken.

Popular Mid-Market housing proposals wait years for OK
By J.K. Dineen, San Francisco Chronicle
February 18, 2017 Updated: February 18, 2017 2:54pm

(1028 Market St.) is among several the city hopes will help revive the long-struggling stretch of central Market Street between Fifth and Seventh streets. Others are 950 Market St., which will have a 232-room hotel plus 242 condos, and 1066 Market, set to hold 304 apartments.

. . . all three are set to start construction in 2017 . . . .

While 1028 Market St. had to undergo a full-blown environmental study because it’s part of a historic district, the developers of both 1066 Market St. and 950 Market St. spent months hammering out affordable housing deals with neighborhood groups. In the end both developers ended up buying separate Tenderloin parcels and donating them to the city for low-income housing.

. . . since the initial frenzy of activity, key projects have lagged. Two hotel projects at Market and Seventh streets, Proper and Yotel, have taken upward of two years longer than expected, although both are set to open this year. The $150 million, six-story retail building near of Sixth and Market, now called 6X6, is nearing completion but has yet to land a tenant . . . .

. . . for all the delays, the housing production is revving up again on Market Street. Excavation recently started at 1554 Market St., where 109 units will rise. And at 1075 Market St. work is under way on a 90-unit condo development, which will be Mid-Market’s first project with for-sale units. Developer Robert Huggins of Encore Capital Management said the foundation has been poured and “you’ll see it coming out of the ground pretty quick.”

. . . demolition is scheduled to take place this spring on 950 Market, with 1066 Market St. about six months behind . . . .

Construction fencing is up surrounding the parking lot next to Sullivan's funeral home (2254 market). Looks like this one is about to get started

It doesn't look like any building permits have been requested.

Pier 29 design, delayed by activists, moves ahead
Renovation and retail project finally gets hearing
BY ADAM BRINKLOW MAR 2, 2017, 12:43PM PST



In April of 2016, the Port Commission unanimously approved a 15-year lease of a historic building at Pier 29 to become retail storefront selling locally made coffee, spirits, and craft goods to tourists and locals alike.

But the project floated in limbo since then. Some of the same activists who spearheaded the “No Wall On The Waterfront” campaign that sank the 8 Washington development three year ago opposed this project. They dubbed it the “Mall On The Waterfront,” complaining that it doesn’t conform with the city’s waterfront plan.

A Jamestown representative says the project passed a Board of Supervisors committee Thursday morning, but it will also require full board approval.

The 120,000-square-foot bulkhead building at Pier 29 has been mostly derelict for years, though it’s located next to a cruise terminal and a block of busy offices.

The retail site would only take up about 20,000 feet of the larger building. “This is not a mall,” Remy Monteko, vice president of developer Jamestown, told Curbed SF.

Rather, the developer sees the proposal as a redoubt for “the new manufacturing industry” and modern San Francisco culture.

Products sold in the space would come by way of SFMade, the local nonprofit that advocates for San Francisco craft manufacturers . . . .

very random things...

noticed that Beale St was closed between the TTC and Park Tower yesterday for some work on the street...



...and found out that that will be the case for the next few weeks:

Beale Street Full Closure 24/7 March 4, 2017 through March 31st (Between Mission and Howard Streets): Beale Street Bridge Demolition will start early Saturday March 4th and work daily Monday through Saturdays between 6:00 AM and 11:30 PM through March 31st, reopening to traffic Saturday April 1, 2017 at 5:00AM

South Park looks really almost done, finally. I think the last plantings were going in when I stopped by yesterday. Now that all the greenery is in, I don't feel so uneasy about the amount of concrete used in the design. overall seems like an okay balance.

the fencing is finally down at Daggett Park at Potrero1010

^^What day and time would find 280 that empty? I am looking for low traffic periods for some trips.

well, that was on Saturday between 3 - 4 pm. seems most of the pics I take on weekends of 280 have about the same conditions, tho. I imagine events like baseball (and future basketball) games change that temporarily.

^^^terrific update timbad, Southpark looks great...

edit: this says construction would start this summer

I love the sculpture at Daggett Park. Looks like it's meant to invoke the historic San Francisco skyline?
