Incredible. Whats even better is these projects all focus on height, but significant amount impact it will have on its souroundings. The skyscrapers look very nice too.!

[bobliocatt]

Great job, I love these project and construction threads. San Fransico is one of the few big american cities that I haven't had the chance to get out to visit yet.

Wow, I cannot believe all the projects going up in the Bay Area! Kudos! It has been hard to keep up to date with everything happening, but sure is a lot of fun to try.

Metreon is in a great location. The last time I was there it did feel...I don't know...wrong somehow. I hope they do a little redesign which of course they will. It feels a little too like a convention center right now.

This is an entitlle project given up for dead (select the current projects and skip the flash intro). The new project is title the Argento (don't make me go back and check the spelling!). It was originally entitled in 2001 but they've finally started demolition on the crap-ass chinese rest. Only problem is the homeless intake center across the street.

Well, i decided to update this thread. i can't update the original post, and i can't seem to fix the picture links, so i decided to just post an updated list! enjoy!

...well, the design is interesting and I like the three-story sky garden idea that will occupy a notch on the side of the building from the 11th to 13th floors, but can't imagine building aging gracefully...not like the Shell building in the financial district or PacBell Building on New Montgomery. Any idea why it's taking so long to complete construction? I know last winter in (Feb - Mar 06) we had nearly 30 consecutive days of rain, which was kind of depressing (for me). I imagine construction was delayed during that time...

New Federal Building @ 7th and Mission

234' 18 floors office architect: Morphosis

I much prefer the Federal Building between Larkin & Polk on Golden Gate Ave...

In this pic, I just noticed one of the Central Towers (bottom left). Back in 1989 when I worked in Marketing at BofA, I rented a very nice studio in Central Tower on the 8th Floor (only $545 a month at the time)...but when none of my friends would visit because they were afraid of coming to the crime-ridden Tenderloin, I found a new place in Twin Peaks (upper left corner of Emporsis pic...)...CT was my lst apt./studio on my own.

...I overacted. Now that San Francisco's new state-of-the-eco-art federal building is completed and its workers have started to move into it, I like if after all..
