The Exchange, from the 9th floor at Kaiser (my photo) Edit: ugh, how do I reduce the size? sorry! |
a look at the Indiana side of the buildings that will be razed for the UCSF Minnesota St housing (the ones very visible in the foreground, and one on the other side of the 18th St bridge to Potrero Hill)
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4231/...b2f02525_b.jpg sort of a before pic of an intersection (Third and 16th St) that will look much more crowded in a couple years or so as projects rise on 3 of the 4 corners. from street level... https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4269/...c7b15d1d_b.jpg ... and from above (the lot in the lower-right I believe is slated for the next phase in UCSF's development schedule, so won't rise with the other corners. maybe WC can remind us if there is a more specific timeframe) https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4025/...98a0e8d1_b.jpg block 1 taking its place on the southern side of the creek, flanking the entrance to Fourth St https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4098/...d5890fd2_b.jpg the Uber site https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4080/...a01fb3de_b.jpg Rutter views https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4284/...75b0bf22_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4012/...4c2c8728_b.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4179/...0a695660_b.jpg |

The Exchange
Something new in my view caught my eye today. The middle low-rise of The Exchange stands out on the back side of the building. (telephoto lens used)

Great shots, timbad...thanks for the extensive update!
Regarding Minnesota Street housing for UCSF, clearance and grading on the north side will be completed this week, as you've basically seen. Foundation work begins later this week. On the southern side, they should be doing noisy demolition of the existing foundation this week as they finish things up. There's apparently an old safe from one of the warehouses that will be saved and restored as an art piece for the new complex. Quote:

Thanks WildCowboy...between you and timbad, we are well informed about Mission Bay! Too many people forget what its original mission was; we are beyond fortunate that UCSF chose it as the site for their second major campus.

Actually I'm channeling Barcelona, Paris and literally dozens of other high volume modern systems with grass tramways around Europe and the world. SF's T-Third would have been the ideal candidate and would have brought a nice dose of greenery to the area.
http://lh5.ggpht.com/-MrE2c1aSnso/Uc...jpg?imgmax=800 _ https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/198/52...d77cc513_b.jpg _ This doesn't work in this urban location? |
^^Don't know who maintains that and keeps it green, but I guarantee you in our climate where there is no rain for several summer months it wouldn't stay green long unless watered and we all know that water conservation policies, now and especially in the future and/or drought years, would not permit that. Two years ago there were beautiful camelias all around the CA PUC building on Van Ness: Now 80% dead for lack of water. And so it goes.
Appropriate hardscape is much more practical for hardworking transit infrastructure in the city. |
