Construction has topped out, and facade installation nearly finished for the 13-story residential building at 830 Eddy Street in San Francisco’s Fillmore District. The building will soon add 137 new apartments, including affordable units, to the city’s housing market. BUILD is responsible for the development.
The 33rd tallest skyscraper in the Bay Area planned or built is 77 Beale Street, a 492-foot tall office building serving as the headquarters for the Pacific Gas & Electric Corporation in SoMa, San Francisco. Construction on the building started in the late 1960s and finished with its opening in 1971. Hertzka and Knowles are responsible for the architecture and design.
Construction is underway for the new student housing project at 525 East Santa Clara Street, across from the Naglee Park neighborhood in San Jose. The complex will soon add 86 new units and 11,870 square feet of commercial space to the San Jose State University market. San Mateo-based Horizon Real Properties Holdings is responsible for the development, dubbed ‘Sparta’ after the local University’s sports teams.
Facade installation is all but finished for the latest residential tower in Silicon Valley, MIRO. The project is located at 181 East Santa Clara Street in Downtown San Jose, directly across from the Meier & Partners-designed City Hall tower. A recent site visit by SFYIMBY shows the pace of construction, just as the leasing agent Greystar has shared new renderings of the nearly complete amenities.
50 California Street is tied as the 34th-tallest building in the Bay Area planned or built. The 1972-built tower in San Francisco’s Financial District shares the same height as 555 Mission Street, 487 feet above street level. Originally known as the Union Bank Building, its distinctively ubiquitous modernist design from the Welton Becket architecture firm was part of a larger moment in the city’s development history of rapid economic growth and local anxieties about the ‘Manhattanization’ of the West Coast metropolis.
