SAN FRANCISCO | Mission Bay

[timbad]

block 1 construction starting to peek up in the view down the creek, but still not too much to see yet



here's the north side of block 7



a glimpse into the 'mews' between Family House and the rest of block 7. from David Baker's renderings I had gotten the impression of something wider (and it will be, somewhat, when the fence is down) and more pleasant, but of course he doesn't have control over what happens on the other side. looks like there are at least plantings that will make the wall on the left pretty green at some point.



not sure how recent this is, since I don't get over there that much, but sidewalks that were new to me have gone in along Terry Francois where it meets re-aligned Mission Rock Street.



this is the east side of Terry Francois. these are the little things that subtly change the feel of the area into something more neighborhood-y



here's a look at the north end of the Exchange site along 16th, with 1010 Potrero visible in the background

will be so nice to have those parcels filled in.

here are the Rutter views from yesterday, quite a clear day







it looks like drilling test piles on block 6? this would presumably be for this





rendering



the south side of block 7, Nomad Gardens in the foreground



the Long Bridge side of Arden, just about done:



since these views are now pretty much free of construction activity and settled into what will be their final form...

looking up the other way on Long Bridge, toward Fourth, at mostly Azure:



closer to Fourth



the corner at Fourth, with folks enjoying the Reveille sidewalk



and a look back the other way again, west up Long Bridge



the mid-block passage from Long Bridge to Channel



block 1 construction, corner of Fourth and Channel



Eviva on Berry St




neighbor to MB proper, the project on Third between 18th and 19th St has a foundation...

not much new this week. here are the Rutter views







the Exchange site

[WildCowboy]

UCSF continuing to move into Dogpatch, and the neighbors aren't happy about it. Owners of the Cal-Steam facility on Mariposa approached UCSF, and the university has bought the property without any firm plans for it. Cal-Steam can stay for the duration of its lease, which ends in December 2018.

the two greenspace parcels that have actually been complete for a year or so - the playground on Long Bridge and Mariposa Park - are slated to open at the *end* of the summer, according to socketsite. apparently the adjacent roads weren't deemed ready for prime time, which has caused the delay.

some new activity on the north side of Channel, opposite Arden. this stretch of Channel itself is still closed off. looking east:



another angle:



looking west:



block 1 construction:



the southern end of the Exchange site:



the northern end along 16th:



higher angle, Potrero1010 in the background



doing something with the dirt piled in the future Commons. might be related to what they're doing along Channel

if you mean the large empty spaces in the Rutter views, that's mostly UCSF.

block 1 construction as seen from the north side of the Creek near Third St Bridge



looking farther up the Creek for context



and how the project meets Third

[buzzbuzzsteph]

Lots of new renderings released for Block 1 aka One Mission Bay since they've recently started selling. More project info here: https://www.buzzbuzzhome.com/one-mission-bay

<-- not too inspiring of a design, but the views are gonna be great.

speaking of block 1, it is starting to transform this view from Mission Creek Park:



another look at the work north of Channel where the Park extension will be. some sort of plastic pipe infrastructure:



something more robust getting installed in the future Commons near the roundabout:



the southern end of the Exchange site:



concrete pour there on Saturday, and looks like tower crane soon



northern end along 16th

[timbad]

indeed tower cranes are up at the Exchange site:



the children's park is finally open. here some evening views. so nice not to have fences there any longer, and to see people enjoying it (not noticeable in the pics).







Rutter views:

[timbad]

work going on underneath what will be the western end of Mission Bay Blvd South, looking toward the roundabout



work has started on at least parcel P23 at the far SE corner of Mission Bay, across 16th St from the future Chase Arena site. not sure about its neighbor, P24 to the south

yes, P24 also underway



they've poured a bunch of concrete at P23 since the earlier pics:

<-- aha, excellent.

in other news, socketsite blurbed on block 6E today. official groundbreaking next month, although prep work had been going on for a while before recently pausing.
