Wow, that looks amazing. I’ll have to take some shots next time I’m down there for a game.

Pretty amazing how close to the renderings this project turned out.

Mission Rock Opens Waterfront Park, Starts Leasing For Verde, San Francisco

BY: ANDREW NELSON 5:30 AM ON APRIL 26, 2024

While the San Francisco Giants are settling into the new baseball season, they have been welcoming another crowd just across McCovey Cove. The team, in partnership with Tishman Speyer and other stakeholders, celebrated the official opening of China Basin Park yesterday morning, two days after announcing that leasing has started for the Studio Gang-designed residential tower, aptly named Verde. Construction is nearly over for the first phase of the city’s mixed-use Mission Rock master plan.

...

Verde is the last of four buildings to complete phase one of Mission Rock. The 23-story residential tower is scheduled to open this June with 254 rental apartments and 25,000 square feet of co-working and event space. Studio Gang is the design architect, working with associate architect Quezada Architecture.

...

The overall massing for the structure is nothing if not dynamic, with carve-outs for balconies at almost every level. The green ceramic tiling glistens in the sun, adding a fresh and novel color to the city’s waterfront skyline. The energetic facade is shaped to maximize sunlight and impressive views for residents while protecting them from wind.

And the amazing photos. Absolutely mint. Some of them look like they could be renderings. One thing I didn’t notice at first is how the Mission Rock building colors match the ballpark — brick, dark green tile (seats/painted steel), and white/tan (matching arcade/right field wall). Nice touch that really looks good when you view the area overall.

Mission Rock is coming together nicely! Sad to see the tidepool isn't going to happen (or maybe just delayed??)

Has anyone heard/read any whispers of progress on the two eastern BMR-dedicated parcels?

According to this post from obemearg, it looks like that portion is in the "future phases" of the development, so hopefully it's still happening.
