Does UCSF also have a facility nearer the center of the city? I thought I'd seen something over there. Perhaps a hospital? And no, I'm not thinking of SF State.

:previous: If you mean nearer the geographic center, you may be referring to their main campus which, until Mission Bay development began, was essentially their only campus, on Parnassus Ave. It's seen here on the side of Mt. Davidson over the City Hall dome:

Now thats what I call prime real estate

Currently, the major cancer management center is at Mt. Zion Hospital near Divisidaro and Geary. It used to be in the basement of Long Hospital at the Parnassus campus, and before that, in Moffit Hospital (same campus) on the third floor... (circa 1974). At least that is what hospital history tells us.
There is still a "Gama Knife" there, which is mostly associated with Neurosurgical patients. |
^^^All true. I've driven past the current cancer center many times. But the the new hospital to be built at Mission Bay will, in part, be a "cancer hospital". I'm not sure whether that means most of the clinical function will move there from Mt. Zion or not. IMHO, though, Mt. Zion is a pretty depressing place. A good friend's dad had neck surgery there in the 90s and I have to say I can't recall a more crowded, obviously outdated hospital in a very long time.

From walking by the area over the past couple weeks, I've noticed some interesting new developments.
1 - Metal stakes and bulldozers - I've seen a lot of these going up south of the channel. It appears that they're starting to clear for the 2nd phase of Radiance and also for acceleration of development at UCSF. I still don't see much going on right next to the channel on the south side, but these other developments are getting closer. I doubt we'll see much vacant land there in 2 years. 2 - Avalon III - I know that they bought the property from Signature. I noticed that they put up a banner at the vacant lot. I'll bet that they start construction there over the next few months (possibly after Arterra tops off and removes the crane). 3. New park and walkway - They finally opened the walkway past Park Terrace, so I went along it last week. Its quite nice and there are some basketball courts underneath the freeway overpass. I thought that this is a great use of space and I am very impressed how much open space is being incorporated into the area. I just hope that the new developments will add some variety to the area. It does appear that Radiance will have a different look than those on Berry Street and I also think that the Avalon III development can as well (if they keep the Arquitectonica design). |

Just returned from my honeymoon to find that they've started the steel on 409 Illinois, the northern half of the Shorenstein biotech project where Fibrogen has committed to move. :banana:

^^^Interesting segment on the PBS Newshour last night about CA's (and, in particular SF's) lead in stem cell research and the benefits to flow from it, much of which is centered in an around Mission Bay and especially the Gladstone Institute: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/healt...ell_10-08.html

what will the low income projects look like?

Quote:
"Authorizing an Amended and Restated Predevelopment Loan Agreement with Berry Street LLC, a California limited liability company (an affiliate and assignee of BRIDGE Regional Partners, Inc.), to increase the loan amount by $1,056,069, for a total aggregate amount not to exceed $4,737,604 for the development of up to 131 units of low- and moderate-income first-time homeownership housing at 330 Berry Street and 335 Berry Street; Mission Bay North Redevelopment Project Area (Resolution No. 102-2007)" I'm not exactly sure what they will look like, but I doubt they'll be more than about 8 stories (similar height to neighboring buildings of Edgewater and Park Terrace). |
