I wonder how many (if any at all) of those buildings will actually be built considering the crisis we're in right now.

treedonkey · 04-01-2009, 04:02 PM

Notice the date of that SF magazine - Feb. 2007 - pre-recession. And I don't recall seeing a single one of those buildings under construction when I was working in downtown this past summer.

The point being: I doubt that grand 'Makeover' plan is exactly on track for 2020 right now...

Golden-mind-State · 04-01-2009, 04:11 PM

You do know one was already completed with more being built,right?

Next time your in downtown look harder or follow the cranes.

grapico · 04-01-2009, 04:12 PM

Don't remember much construction going on either in December... where as if you walk around Chicago same time... all kinds of projects going up.

I think it is pretty awesome they are going up, I just hope they aren't tearing down any good architecture.

Golden-mind-State · 04-01-2009, 04:20 PM

Wow I never saw this before..approved (atleast at the time) projects for Treasure Island!

I agree about SF skyline lacking anything super impressive that is being built. I think SF will come out of this recession with a few changed plans and hopefully some of it gets built. I thought I heard the other day that Treasure Island has been canceled - any confirmation on that?

I think they're building too many boring condos but all the office buildings are impressive,imo. And idk about Treasure Island,I hope not I'd love to see another skyline pop up in the Bay Area,especially on the water that would be nice.
