Anyway, things are coming together for this 1,700-housing unit project in Visitacion Valley, which is actually in the southern part of The City.

This is another interesting looking project away from downtown SF. It will have 453-units upon completion.

Well, I won't be posting anything else going on in D.C. on the city vs. city forum so I'm sure people will be relieved.

Thank you 18Montclair for posting every single possible development happening in the Bay Area.

That's why people got upset with MDAllstar.

Can we just keep it to larger projects please?

MD I would personally still like you to post, just don't post every single thing happening in DC, like 18Montclair above^^

Nope, those are all large projects.

1,700 units is massive actually.
So is the 453-unit because thats in several buildings on 3.15 acres
So is the first office tower North of Market in 10 years.
So is an automobile production factory.

See, that's what doesn't make sense. I'm really the only one on here that DID post large mega projects. If we're being honest, other than myself, who has posted master planned mega developments? Almost everyone is coming here with random individual infill projects. That is not what this is supposed to be about. The only time I posted individual projects was during a single post to get a count of units during a debate and I just referenced that post throughout that debate. I haven't been coming here posting random single buildings one by one like everyone else seems to be doing. That's why this really makes no sense to me. It's really the rest of you that are posting every single project going on in your cities.

I posted the Wharf, the Yards, Poplar Point, St. Elizabeth, Walter Reed, Union Station/Burnham Place, SW Eco District, City Center DC, Capitol Crossings, Skyland Towncenter, and the DC street car network. All those are major mega projects and are relevant to the thread title and requirements by the OP. The real question is, what projects have the rest of the people in this thread posted that is relevant to this thread? Practically zero. I know of Tranbay in SF, the Beltine in ATL, etc. etc. Most cities don't have projects like this so the thread shouldn't even be this long to begin with.

Based on that, can you see why I feel people have something against DC? I mean, DC is the only city in the whole thread that has only talked about mega projects. This is supposed to be about multi-million sq. foot mega projects.
