"The redevelopment plan for the 300-acre Mission Bay area is maxed out, but amendments are in the works to allow for a few more major projects, including a 129-room hotel proposed by the Warriors next to their brand new Chase Center." -SF Examiner https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/sf-m...ther-projects/ |

I'm trying to figure out why, after so many years of construction, they would demolish and rebuild the entire northeast corner of the complex?
Did the Warriors really not have this project in mind when building the original complex? Did they perhaps not add the hotel and condos originally in order to avoid having to deal with San Francisco's byzantine permitting process and expedite just the arena portion? Was the this hotel/condo something that really didn't pencil out initially with the rest of the project? Was it financing? I'm just really interested in why this would be built in such an inefficient way as compared to the incredible efficiency at which the rest of the complex was built. Why would they choose to tear down a large portion of a brand new complex instead of just building this in from the beginning? San Francisco development is so... interesting. |

I mean look at what's there--it's not much of a building (mostly glass and, in fact, it looks like it was designed as a "place holder"): http://socketsite.com/wp-content/upl...Condo-Site.jpg http://socketsite.com/archives/2020/...and-dates.html |

It is exactly because of its largely rough state that I think it will just be added on to. I don't see them demolishing this, they can simply remove the glass and add on to what already exists. :shrug:

The proposal specifically includes the words "demolish" and "replace," so that certainly doesn't sound like building on top of.

They over engineered the foundation to plan for possible hotel/condo expansion in the future according to this article.
