New elementary school on the way to Mission Bay to occupy Block 14, to further help fill in the neighborhood. I know some people have had questions in the past about what will happen with some of those surface lots.

SFUSD Hires Team For New Mission Bay Elementary School, San Francisco
BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:00 AM ON JULY 19, 2022

The San Francisco Unified School District has officially hired McCarthy Building Companies and DLR Group to design Mission Bay South Block 14 to serve San Francisco’s newest and fastest-growing neighborhood, Mission Bay. The 2.5-acre site would offer Pre-K through 5th Grade education for up to 600 students.

...

The four-story building will yield roughly 81,800 square feet of floor area for the 600-student school, a STEM-focused learning hub for high school students, and a district professional development space for educators.

...


Much of the 2.5-acre lot will be improved with outdoor space for the students. There will be a playground, basketball hoops, and other activity areas circled by a track loop. Along 6th Street, next to the picnic area, a garden will encourage students to engage with plants and food production. Kindergarten students will have a dedicated yard and play area by the Mission Bay Boulevard sidewalk. The area will be surrounded by fencing and bioswale landscaping.

...

The facade will be clad with yellow and green metal panels, with sections dedicated for art murals. DLR Group Principal Christopher McGiff-Brown shared that “our team’s design solution expresses the joy of learning with dynamic architecture to create a vivid and welcoming campus for all users.”

The construction of Mission Bay South Block 14 would be the first elementary school in close proximity to the neighborhood. Construction is scheduled to start in 2023, with completion by 2025. $95 million of funding is coming from the 2016 Proposition A Bond program.

South Block 14 is located directly across from 1450 Owens Street, a 109-foot life sciences research building being constructed by Alexandria Real Estate Equities.

across the street to the west from the school, 1450 Owens seems to be in pause, with the heavier equipment that had been on site gone, presumably after the piles were all driven, or at least some phase of initial foundation work was completed



UCSF's new clinical building and associated parking garage:











(Third St looking fairly solid these days...)



block 9 West, affordable housing just behind the public safety building, has come out from behind its shroud...









and block 9 East (aka 9a), is now getting its initial piles driven behind it



the walkway on the south side of the creek still hasn't opened. this is the eastern end





edit: one more, random

Noice! SF has been absolutely crushing it with parks/open space recently (Crane Cove, Francisco Park, Battery Bluff, Tunnel Tops), so I'm excited to see how this one turns out, as well as the Mission Creek promenade between 3rd and 4th street.

finally, wonderful! and with the bayfront park that is part of phase I of Mission Rock, within a span of just a couple years, we are getting a chain of four significant greenspaces along the waterfront in this area! and then of course Pier 70 and the Power Plant projects will further that to the south, hopefully not tooooo far in the future.

and adding to the citywide count is also the massive India Basin Shoreline Park

CCA campus expansion

I'll put this in the main run-down thread too, but since it is across the street from MB proper, will mention here that the CCA project is now visibly underway finally:

disappointed to report that there wasn't much sign of recent activity on the Warriors Park.



elsewhere, block 9A piles are quite evident:



the newest UCSF parking garage at its scenic best:



the east side (Illinois St)



west side (Third St)



biotech office on Owens St coming along slowly...



CCA expansion project

two pieces of news from this week:

- the promenade along the south side of Mission Creek between Third and Fourth has finally opened (ceremony Tuesday)

- a ceremonial 'shovel-ready' for the MB school was held today

The promenade looks nice! Is there going to be retail shops opening along the way? It would be nice if there were shops there to help activate it, like a Hayes Valley/Patricia's Green kinda thing.

The Mission Creek has always been sort of a missed opportunity I think. It'd be cool if there were restaurants lining the whole creek, with patios/balconies facing the water.

at the eastern end is New Belgium Brewing with outdoor tables, so there's that. toward the west end is a wine and cheese shop, but doesn't really interact with the promenade so far as I can tell - maybe that will change now that it's open. at the far western end is a pre-school or kindergarten, and that one would have been a great location for something like a cafe. pretty sure the rest is residential.

and yeah, in general I agree that MB would have done better to activate its open spaces with more eating/gathering opportunities. Fourth St is not bad, but the central triangular parcel that became the kids playground would have been good for that sort of thing too. Spark Social seems to be an ad hoc response to the need.

my bad, missed that post


On the topic of cranes, has anyone been keeping track of SF's crane count? Going off of memory I would estimate 10-12, mostly on smaller projects, but I could be missing some.

Generally correct. I'm a regular at the wine and cheese shop and the owners are discussing having an outside presence with the city.

Thanks for the update!

Just as a reminder, here's what it should look like when completed, from approx the same angle, but further back.

Quote:
The building’s interior is divided by use, with 133,000 square feet for laboratory use, 49,999 square feet of office space, and 2,600 square feet for ground-level retail.


And up close
