Upzoning for Conservatory of Music Development Approved
March 9, 2018
200-214 Van Ness site

The upzoning, development agreement and authorization needed for the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s proposed twelve-story building to rise up to 120 feet in height at 200 Van Ness Avenue, between Hayes Street and Dr. Tom Waddell Place, were approved by San Francisco’s Planning Commission last night.

In addition to a ground floor restaurant, recital hall and student center, the development includes a double-height performance hall on its top floor and 113 units of “group housing” outfitted with 420 beds for students of the Conservatory, three apartments for Conservatory faculty and 27 apartments to replace those which would be razed in order to make way for the development, in-between . . . .

Mav-velous and Little Griddle at Market & Fell street is open after a 2 year closing/remodel. They both have a cold look. The Boston ferns hanging from above do nothing to dispel the clinical look of the place. It will be interesting to see if the customers return to what was once a very popular cafe & coffee bar.

Moscone was quite the hive of activity yesterday when I went past. the guys in the foreground looked like they were prepping the north side of the landing for the west pedestrian overpass (the other one can be seen in the distance)...



... said overpass was waiting on the ground yesterday...



... but had been partially lifted today, according to the webcam

a couple things that don't seem to be moving along, or at least not very quickly...

1. the T-line Loop in Dogpatch

a year ago, this article said it would be done in about four months. the tracks haven't even been laid yet. here is the Illinois St side



2. right next door, Crane Cove Park

the project fact sheet says it would be completed this month. the contract for the initial site prep was awarded a year behind schedule, in 2016, and as far as I can see, nothing has been done since that preliminary work was closed out, months ago.

this is the berm where 19th St will be extended into the site

Plans to Triple the Height of Pinterest’s Brand New Building
March 12, 2018

. . . with the possibility of San Francisco’s Central SoMa Plan being approved by Planning at the end of this month, and plans for a 250-foot-tall tower to rise on the aforementioned K&L Wines site having been drawn, plans to add another eleven (11) stories atop the brand new (Pinterest HQ building) at 505 Brannan are now in the works as well.

As designed by Heller Manus, the proposed addition would rise to a height of 240 feet upon the building’s existing foundation (which was designed with the expansion in mind) and add another 165,000 square feet of office space to the development, for a total of 294,450, while maintaining the existing café fronting Brannan Street and the building’s underground garage for 68 cars.

(Now)


(To be)

Exclusive: Take a peek inside Mid-Market’s new hotel for millennials
By Katie Burke – Food/Hospitality/Retail Reporter, San Francisco Business Times
Mar 13, 2018, 5:16pm PDT Updated 12 hours ago

The rooms at San Francisco's Yotel may be some of the smallest in the city, but the millennial-targeted property will open this summer packing a lot of punch.

The 203-room property at 1095 Market St. is already taking reservations as it sells the idea that guests will stay in tiny rooms if they have plenty of hip, vibrant common spaces to enjoy.

Yotel rooms span between just 90 and 150 square feet, just a fraction of the roughly 300-square-foot average for San Francisco hotel rooms. Rooms offer tables that fold into the wall, beds on second-level lofts, and toilets just a step from the entrance. Every design choice at Yotel is focused on making the most of each square foot.

The common spaces that the hotel is offering include two restaurants from local chef Daniel Patterson. The eateries, on the ground-floor and the rooftop, will be open to the public. Patterson will take over the two 3,500-square-foot spaces in about 30 days to start work on build-outs.

1066 Market St. - view from the Fox Plaza

The rigs for the pilings are visible from my apartment. Looks like my view of the building that the Golden Gate theater is in will disappear by next year. 3/14/2018

I always thought the skyline looked odd from Dolores Park but these new towers are filling it in nicely

Here is a shot of Moscone. The overpass makes this street so much more intimate, I really like it already. Everything was pulled too far back before.

a peek into the central passageway at 100 Hooper. looks like trees back there



and, I wandered over to look at the progress on the Masonic Ave streetscape project (pdf) (street schematics start on page 41)

the southern blocks (closer to Haight) looked fairly complete...







what work remained there is mostly related to the raised cycle track and bus shelter islands



things are more of a work in progress as one moves north toward Geary. this is actually looking back south on the west side of the street, where you can make out sections of the new curb and how much the sidewalk will be widened in that section



approaching Geary itself, Masonic does a little jog to the east, and this creates a triangular parcel on the west side. looking back north



and looking back south across this triangular portion, which will be turned into a greener space, much more people-oriented. I think vehicular access has to be preserved for the residences along the west side of the street, but I'm not sure it'll still be a through-street there



on the east side of the triangular space, west side of Masonic, the bike path running behind the bus shelter. looking south



more sidewalk space on the east side of Masonic, almost at the corner with Geary. also looking south
