Inspired by Timbad to take a quick walk around the site. Really liked this view of the Salesforce Tower poking out between The Canyon and the Visa HQ, plus the angle on The Canyon!

A very cool view that will not exist in ~6 months!

here's that view again, more or less, for comparison

and others moving around the site clockwise from south to north (bonus shots of Third St Bridge raised)

Facade Installation Tops Out For Three Towers At Mission Rock, San Francisco

BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2022

Facade installation is nearly done for the three new towers in Mission Rock, San Francisco. Both the new Visa Headquarters and The Canyon are completely wrapped, with work on Building B almost finished. Meanwhile, Site work is continuing for Studio Gang’s glazed-green tower, the fourth and final tower to rise during Phase One, with the project crane already in place. The joint venture dubbed Mission Rock Partners expects to welcome its first tenants and residents next year.

Phase One will see the construction of 537 apartments, the new Visa offices, nearly a quarter million square feet for life sciences, and ground-level retail. While the towers are making a lasting addition to San Francisco’s waterfront skyline and the view from Oracle Park, crews have been working on the shore for China Basin Park, a five-acre public open space and by far the most highly-anticipated public asset from the Mission Rock masterplan.

Construction started on the China Basin Park in early June this year, with concrete visible along the site’s western edge. The park will feature a central sloped lawn with panoramic views of the water. The site will feature access to the water with a protected beach and a kayak launch. SCAPE Landscape Architecture is the lead designer, collaborating with Min Design and the Miller Company. Webcor is the General Contractor.

...

Excavation and foundation work is currently underway for Parcel F. Already, concrete is visibly taking shape along the ground, with the crane ready to start the 23-story ascent once the foundation is complete. The tower is the second residential addition to San Francisco designed by the Chicago-based Studio Gang, following the popular Mira SF. New renderings were released for the tower in early June, showing that the building will be wrapped in horizontal bands of captivating green-glazed tile and oversized windows.

Parcel F is now well above ground level and a lot of progress has been made on the landscaping for the new park as well.

Also, does anyone know when the new promenade between 3rd and 4th street is supposed to open? It's looked completed for months now. Bonus picture looking down China Basin towards Diamond Heights(?).

Sorry for the weirdly sized images, still figuring out the best way to downscale them for this site.

Darn! At first I thought you were referring to the other Parcel F!

Nice pics though!

obemearg · #**151** Posted **Oct 26, 2022, 3:21 AM**

Thank you! I wish I was talking about the other Parcel F... hopefully someday.

A quick update on my question about the promenade along China Basin: It was still closed off this morning but as of this evening the fencing is down and it's open!

cant wait to see what Phase II will look like

timbad · #**153** Posted **Nov 8, 2022, 8:13 AM**

another peek at the fourth straggler building coming up

and how MR adds a new layer behind Mission Bay

homebucket · #**154** Posted **Nov 8, 2022, 9:04 PM**

^ Very nice. It'll be cool to see an additional layer rise with Parcel F going up. The green facade will also add some nice color contrast.

Wow, that's one massive project, and it looks great to boot. Is much of this area formerly industrial land, hence why thee's no older buildings around? Just curious.

Yes, the site was formerly a railyard and dockyard.
