Slated for redevelopment, the project site is currently developed with a two-story warehouse building. The warehouse spans an area of 41,166 square feet and has been used as a data center. The project proposes a three-story vertical addition consisting of 16,296 square feet of office use. The total built-up area will sum up to 49,990 square feet of office space.

Crazy to build more office space right now, absolutely unneeded in this area. Two blocks from Caltrain and zero housing??
Agree. 60% office vacancy in Downtown, yet more office space?
And it is not even a skyscraper. I can justify an office skyscraper that consolidates out 10x the land by forcing low-rise commercial to get demolished from the consolidation into the tower. But this is not even highrise.
The principals at Reuben, Junius & Rose LLP have obviously been smoking some powerful weed. In addition to the current elevated office vacancy rate (mentioned above), if you read through that report from SPUR about San Francisco’s Commercial Office Market datelined December 12, 2023 (“Without Decisive Action, San Francisco’s Commercial Office Market Has a Looong Road to Recovery”) you’d find this nugget: “San Francisco has more than 10 million square feet of entitled, approved office space that could be built when the market recovers.”
It is high time for a moratorium on approving new office space projects.
referenced in January’s thread, buried in it was this nugget: “San Francisco has more than 10 million square feet of entitled, approved office space that could be built when the market recovers.”
Its not your money why do you care what they do with their land.
