Solomon Cordwell Buenz is the project architect. The podium will be clad with a grid of off-white glass fiber reinforced concrete described in planning documents as a ‘linen’ color with medium bronze-tone metal accents. Off-white metal panels, matching with the podium, will be used on the tower. The project is targeting LEED Platinum certification.
The firm describes the facade as “detailed with delicate twists and features a prominently chiseled corner…At the top of the tower, six residential units open onto a series of private terraces.”

The building’s ground floor will be packed with several purposes. The Market Street-facing office lobby will link with a 5,650 square foot multi-purpose space with a mezzanine and a two-story-high ceiling. Three spots for retail will service the room and its copious tables and concrete stadium seating. Renderings show a restaurant, coffee stand, and florist as potential businesses to set up shop.

At the corner intersection with Van Ness and Fell Street, another 4,000 square foot retail shop. The building’s loading bays and access to the below-grade parking will face toward Fell Street.

There will be 333 apartments, with 28 studios, 97 one-bedrooms, 161 two-bedrooms, and 47 three-bedroom units. 83 of the units will be sold below market-rate. Residential amenities will span across the entire tenth floor, on top of the 130-foot tall podium. Three outdoor balconies will offer lounging space, outdoor dining tables, and a dog run. The interior space will be divided between a fitness center, a coworking lounge, a socializing room, a solarium, and a game room.

New building permits estimate construction costs to be a minimum of $244 million and last 44 months from ground-breaking to completion. Excavation will remove approximately 51,000 cubic yards of earth. The 2018-signed development agreement shows the project could contribute as much as $12 million to fund affordable housing and up to $5.9 million to support transportation city-wide.

Now that’s how you design a podium!
Yasss!
This will dramatically change the view looking down Market Street from atop Twin Peaks, and for the better. All of this new Civic Center construction is creating another visual focal point for the city and skyline.
So, is this condo or rental? I see apartment and then it says units sold at market rate? A bit confusing. The tower and podium are nice, but to tower does seem to be just ‘plopped’ on. I’d shift the tower to better anchor the corner.
How do I apply for a Studio or 1Br Apartment or Confominium at BMR rate and when and where do I go to apply? Looking to buy or rent if affordable! Very nice building
Has this started construction? They were doing good progress at least with the demolition but now it looks like it stopped. What is going on?
They just seeded grass all over the lot. Put in a small guard shack. Does the grass indicate no building for a while?
interested in purchasing 1br. please send floor plans and time lines of availability.
thank you
Thanks for finally talking about > Construction Expected Тo Start This Υear foг
