The third tallest building proposed or built, and the second tower building standing in the Bay Area, is the Transamerica Pyramid, the defining icon for the San Francisco skyline since its completion in 1972. With a rooftop height of 853 feet tall, the pyramid would not be surpassed in height until 2018 with the completion of the Salesforce Tower. William L. Pereira & Associates is responsible for the design.
Hines has announced that 50 Main Street will rise 1,066 feet tall, potentially becoming the second tallest structure in San Francisco. If built as proposed, the residential tower will be just four feet shorter than the Salesforce Tower. 50 Main Street, to be designed by Foster + Partners, is part of the 200 Mission Street campus, formerly the SoMa headquarters for PG&E.
New renderings have been published for the 424 Brannan Street office project in SoMa, San Francisco. Construction is expected to replace half an acre of surface parking with two new office structures at 55 Zoe and 288 Ritch Street. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the internationally acclaimed firm, is the project architect.
Permits have been filed seeking the approval of a 850 Bush Street in Lower Nob Hill, San Francisco. The project proposal includes vertical and horizontal addition to the existing one-story plus mezzanine structure, previously occupied by a restaurant, resulting in a 7-story building. Leavitt Architecture is responsible for the design concepts.
Construction is finishing up on Coterie Cathedral Hill, a luxury senior housing development at 1001 Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco’s small Cathedral Hill neighborhood. The project adds 209 new units to the poorly supplied market of high-end senior housing. Coterie Cathedral Hill will be just the second project for the new Coterie Brand, a collaboration between Related Companies and Atria Senior Living.
