Transbay Tower Site
With the 1,070 foot tall Tansbay Tower having been approved to rise at 101 First Street, and Hines having partnered with Boston Properties to purchase the site and finance the tower’s construction, the likely groundbreaking for the project has been pushed back from late 2013 to sometime in 2014 with occupancy in 2017.
No word on whether Sue Hestor’s Save Our Parks Sunlight Coalition or San Franciscans for Reasonable Growth plan to appeal Planning’s approval of the project, or will otherwise attempt to delay the development, but we would be surprised if not.

  1. I thought the purpose of this building was to create a unified transportation hub for the City. But if CalTrain is not going there, then what is the function? Just BART and buses?

  2. Well, talk about weird. In the Warriors Arena CAC meetings, the city talks about Transbay as one of the key mass transit hubs for the arena, along with Caltrain station and the ferry building, essentially saying that all three are equal distant to the arena, helping auto congestion. I guess they are saying that families headed to the arena for various events via Transbay will be taking buses?
