Oh boy. We love us some upward growth. And how. While the City Planning Department completes its save-the-whales report (EIR) on the proposed 24-story structure at 350 Mission, yesterday they released renderings of what the new building will look like, with delightful results.
The tower will contain 356,000 square feet of office space, 6,600 square feet of restaurant and retail space and about 7,000 square feet of public open space. The LEED Gold building will utilize styrofoam and plastic bottles in place of some concrete "to create the lightest structural system and strongest structural design possible.
Styrofoam and plastic bottles? That doesn't sound the least bit frightening at all whatsoever. Oh come now, we tease. We love the place. Glassy, sassy, tall lobby (50 feet!), antiseptic, allegations of public space, the perfume of exclusivity in the air -- count us in.
