As p.g. mentioned, the easternmost block has been done for several years now, but is fenced off. I have to imagine they will open it up as Radiance Phase I opens and 500 Terry Francois (the "brick" one on 26a) gets commercial tenants to move in there.
No clue when the rest of it will be done, but I'd hope it will be in conjunction with Mission Bay Boulevard itself as that goes in west of Third. And that will have to happen (at least the block of it between Third and Fourth) by the time UCSF's cardiovascular building opens in 2010, if not sooner.
We've been waiting quite some time for them to finish up a number of streets in the area. Seems like most of the infrastructure has been laid for the entire length of Fourth Street and for the blocks of Mission Rock and Rincon between Third and Fourth (surrounding Block 4 where 555 Mission Rock is going up). Even the light poles have been installed for much of the stretch.
BTW, here's the latest on the proposed construction schedule for the UCSF hospital. Surcharging of some of the open space areas may start as soon as late this year...so lots of dump trucks piling up the dirt. Construction may start on the outpatient building in late 2009 and be completed by late 2011. The rest of the hospital would start in late 2010 and be completed in time for a late 2014 opening. The parking garage would start in late 2012 to be ready for the 2014 opening. I assume this means that the outpatient services will be up and running well before the hospital...I don't have confirmation of this, and this construction schedule is the first indication I've seen of that possibility.
