Rincon Hill Towers

The Millennium Tower topped off back in February and the towers blue window walls have reached the 50th floor.  The latest update from the Webcor website:

The “Roof Mounted” crane is in place on level 59 and the “Tower” crane is gone. We’ll make full use of the Roof Crane until May and at that juncture a derrick crane will be assembled for the final step of this logistics procedure.
Webcor Concrete Group will have completed the moment frames and columns on the roof by the time this update is posted, which will have cleared the way for the steel erector. The roof mount’s location has the erector working in two phases. The first phase will start with the erection of 200 pieces of steel going counter clockwise and this work will start at the end of the month. The second phase will be completed after the roof mount has been removed. The building systems that attach to the frame will also follow the same phased pattern. The entire roof will be complete around May-June.

The labor intensive interior work is marching up the building transforming a gray and sparse concrete space into elegant condominiums. As simple as sentence might describe it; there’s high amount of time and coordination required to successfully complete the interior finishes in a project of this magnitude. As of this writing, just in the tower structure itself, the project is currently involving more than 20 Subcontractors and roughly 250 craft workers currently spanning the height of the building. The first milestone for this scope will be the “punch list” of the first finished floors.

MID-RISE
Webcor Concrete has been moving along like a steam locomotive by running a six day floor cycle! Late April will see the topping out of the building at level 14.

The structural steel work will kick off with three big beams in the atrium area and later on a series freshly painted cantilevered beams will be hung over the remaining area of the atrium. The shaking out and erection of the pool skylight steel will have been well underway by the time this update has been posted. The final steel activity will be on level 12 which will start at the end of April to early May.

The storefront framing and glazing is moving along the first and second levels. Glazing of the building above the podium has started and will finish up May-June.

Residents and restaurants are quickly moving into the Rincon Hill area.  Local at 330 First St is the newest addition to the neighborhood.  The San Francisco Chronicle gave them an “excellent” rating in their four star system.

With over 300 wines to choose from, and only a $10 corkage fee, the attached Wine Merchant is a great way to sample some new wines.  Or, if you’re an owner at One Rincon Hill, bring your One Club card and they waive the corkage fee.

A while back, I featured the Google street view mapping technology.  I have included this application in several of the project pages as a way to view the project and the surrounding neighborhood.  A new mapping company, MapJack, has created what is known as seamless interactive panoramas.  Crystal clear photos that are easy to view, zoom, and search.  They are only in 3 cities so far, San Francisco, Sausalito, and Chiang Mai, Thailand, but 6 more are coming soon including Palo Alto, San Jose, and Lake Tahoe.

According to the MapJack website, “Mapjack.com showcases a new level of mapping technology. What others have done with NASA budgets and Star Wars-like equipment, we’ve done on a shoestring budget, along with a few trips to Radio Shack. Specifically, we developed an array of proprietary electronics, hardware and software tools that enable us to capture an entire city’s streets with relative ease and excellent image quality. We have a complete low-cost scalable system encompassing the entire work-flow process needed for Immersive Street-Side Imagery, from picture gathering to post-processing to assembling on a Website.”

For those who are not familiar with the city, perhaps visiting from a far away place, both Mapjack and Google street view are great tools to see the city.  And if you have a favorite mapping site that is new to the scene, I invite you to make a comment and share the news.

The Infinity has now closed 58 units.  The 1st phase of the project is approximately 85% sold and making steady progress toward becoming sold out.  A wide selection of nice units are still available in 1,2 and 3 bedroom floor-plans.

The Webcor website recently posted the following project update: 

March has been a momentous month for the Infinity project. The phase I portion of the project has been turned over to building management. Residents are now occupying the tower and the Main St podium building. The final podium building is finalizing punch-list and will have residents moving in the first of May. The pool, fitness area and sauna are in full use for the residents.

The 42-story, Phase 2 structure topped out at the beginning of the month. The tower crane should be coming down in late May which is earlier than expected. Curtain wall continues to progress as it is installed through level 24. The interior construction is following with framing through level 15 and drywall on 8. The cabinets and finishes will start at the beginning of April.
