Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects - Salesforce Tower SF


 61 floors, reaching 1,070 ft (326 m)

I have been photographing the rapidly changing urban landscape around the Transbay Terminal in San Francisco's SOMA neighborhood since the demolition of the original Timothy Pfluger designed edifice. Below is a brief selection of images chronicling the rise of the Salesforce Tower which stands on Mission St. between First and Fremont Streets.

The topped-out Salesforce Tower has a commanding presence on the San Francisco skyline, dwarfing the BofA building and the Transamerica Pyramid. 4-12-2017 from near Land's End.


New Years Day 2016 and the reinforced concrete core is rising above ground level. 1-1-2016 corner of First and Mission Streets

500 Capp Street - David Ireland's studio/residence

THE ARTIST AND HIS LEGACY

 Photographing the restored Mission District residence/studio
 of  

 DAVID IRELAND (1930-2009)

The sensitive and persistent restoration/preservation of Mr. Ireland's 1886 corner Victorian building has turned into one of the most important artistic resources of San Francisco contemporary art. It's open to the public for tours and exhibitions. http://500cappstreet.org/visit/

The much anticipated opening garnered widespread coverage in the media, printed as well as on-line, thanks to Wendy Norris https://www.linkedin.com/in/norrcomm, Yosh Asato http://yoshasato.com/ and of course Carli Wilmans and her team at the 500 Capp Street Foundation.
