City Staff from the San Francisco Planning Department have published a preliminary project assessment, providing some feedback and a cautiously optimistic outlook for the fate of the skinny pod hotel proposed for 12 Mint Plaza in SoMa, San Francisco.

New renderings have been published as plans move ahead for an eight-story mixed-use structure at 244 9th Street in SoMa, San Francisco. Construction will replace a single-story commercial structure with a two-story front with 27 new homes. SIA Consulting is responsible for the design.
Rising 1,070 feet tall, the Salesforce Tower is the tallest building in the Bay Area, the 17th tallest in the United States, and the 91st tallest in the world.

Unsurprisingly, it remains a divisive contribution to the San Francisco skyline.
