Stopped by Mission Bay today for the first time in over a week...been preoccupied by the birth of my son last Saturday.
Anyway, the orangey-brown panels are going up on the south façade of 1500 Owens. They're a bit brighter than I thought they'd be, but I like it. Will try to get some pics next week if no one else stops by first.
Looks like they're getting ready to pour the curbs for the Owens Street extension that will lead past 1500.
And according to
this Business Times article, the identity of that "institutional anchor" that is taking 40,000+ sf at 1500 Owens...it's UCSF's Orthopedics Institute. I had heard that they were shopping around for space for it, and I think they found a good spot for it. Close to the campus and future hospital and part of the private biotech hub surrounding the place. Should be welcome news to neighbors who have been concerned about UCSF and related entities creeping into the surrounding residential neighborhoods (primarily Dogpatch and Potrero).
