The bubble's already burst for some architects, but for others, the "market in architectural futures" is looking bright as ever. John King notes specifically that in this particular game, players SFMOMA and BAM are aiming both for cultural cachet and for the big money. Diller Scofidio + Renfro, for instance (on both museums' shortlists), is probably a bit more cutting edge …

Click the image above to view the full photogallery. The multi-building, 448-unit SoMa project at 900 Folsom/260 5th heads to the Planning Commission this week with a slightly reworked design. Looks like 900 Folsom's lost its overhanging eaves in favor of highlighting the more square aspects of its personality — in fact, the change was AGI Capital and Architecture International's response to …

Click the image above to view the full photogallery. A gated community! San Francisco doesn't have too many of those lying around — 28 Presidio Terrace is in the city's only one, and is right next door to Dianne Feinstein's former home. It's a remodeled 5-bed, 7-bath biggie designed by Charles Whittlesey in 1908. The house spans 6,800 square feet, and can brag, …

Click the image above to view the full photogallery. Then: $3,150,000 Now: $2,750,000 You Save: $400,000, or 12.7 percent! The humble little teatime cottage above, a 4-bed Lake district house that debuted in March, received a good-sized chop this past Friday, perhaps courtesy of a recent appraisal of "$2,850,000 move in with equity." That brings it back to its original 2007 price, and to $694 …

Don't look now, but a neighborhood rate-and-review website named using Curbed SF readers' most hated word has popped up, and it ranks some of San Francisco's trendiest nabes ever! Obviously skewed by current users of Nabewise, the list goes as follows: 1) The Marina ("attractive people"), 2) Cow Hollow ("bars"), 3) SoMa ("lofts"), 4) Hayes Valley ("trending up"), 5) Polk Gulch …

The Chron's Matier & Ross have eyebrows raised at the price tag of the Temporary Transbay Terminal, a whopping $18 million that's gone toward "structures," mostly for Greyhound, power and lighting, sidewalks, and also $1.5 million for the terminal's canopies alone. At least, in a way, if passengers end up having to use the temporary terminal for seven years, rather than …

[Gavin hearts Mid-Market, via Troy Holden] Now that finding a Mid-Market messiah's officially a thing again, the Redevelopment Agency is reconvening the Mid-Market Project Area Committee. The Central City Extra reports a bit on its history: the group, comprised of residents and neighboring businesses, was first convened in 1995, after which it took 10 years to hammer out a comprehensive plan to …

BAYVIEW: The 18-unit below-market-rate mixed-use development at 4800 3rd has launched. We first checked out the Van Meters Pollack & Williams-designed building and its "eco-colors" over a year ago — they're all 1-beds and 2-beds, and range from $156,000 to $275,000. Nice sentiment: "We have entered a delightful time in real estate where style and sustainability are available at every price point." …

Click the image above to view the full photogallery. The above Pac Heights tenancy in common is a top-floor unit in what looks like a recently remodeled eight-unit building — there are more units available, but for now, this is the one that's the building's public face on the MLS. It's a "luxurious" 3-bed, 2.5-bath with a total of 2,405 square feet. The …

Among the recently passed Market and Octavia Plan's many wide-ranging effects: a vision for establishing a network of "livable streets" along San Francisco's somewhat neglected alleys, in Hayes Valley and the area just south of Market and west of Van Ness. Before sending out a cadre of workers to go rework our alleys, …

Click the image above to view the full photogallery. Last night, after a strong neighborhood showing and a Stanley Saitowitz monologue on successful architectural design, the Planning Commission approved Hayes Valley's 555 Fulton with its original, glassy look. The five-story supermarket and 136-unit residential project started its life with a comparatively more uniform design — before changes requested by the city turned …

If the first go at a Hunters Point hearing was heavy on skepticism, Round Two last night went a little more in the opposite direction — incredulous praise, according to the SF Examiner. Megadeveloper Lennar expects to shower upon Bayview and Hunters Point a hurricane of community benefits: $120 million for affordable housing, $10 million for local schools, a $3.5 million scholarship …

The state, deadbeat buddy that it is, is returning to BART $26 million that it's looted from the transpo agency over the years. Now, though, BART has an unexpected $5 million budget surplus — free money! — that it doesn't know what to do with. Board members have suggested temporary fare reductions and the like as a "special" thank you to …

The idea of swinging through the city attached to a wire is becoming a sort of slow-growing urban fantasy meme. There were those dangling Muni trains, the fantasy zip line across the bay, then the real Embarcadero zip line, and now this backpack chairlift concept that allows owners to "hook onto the two wires overhead and travel at speeds up to …

Click the image above to view the full photogallery. The 5-bed, 3.5-bath Diamond Heights house at 60 Berkeley Way was built in 1968, but it looks sprightly enough to have been remodeled sometime in the last several years. Indeed, it has a "sparkling remodeled kitchen" with eat-in counter and interesting green tile, no doubt the result of an adventurous remodeler. Also included: …

Designed by Joseph Newsom, architect of fashionable Victorians, the "Morgan House" on the Panhandle has a 1-bed, 1-bath apartment available for rent. The building, according to the Craigslist ad, is a historically registered property in San Francisco, and was built around 1890 originally as a single-family home, converted to multiple units after the 1906 earthquake. The restored "vintage" apartment has period …

None of their other strategies have gotten much traction so far, so the Atherton and Menlo Park and adding their names to a petition to get the East Bay route reexamined for high-speed rail. (Last week, a report commissioned by enviro and transpo groups concluded the East Bay would be better.) The petition alleges that the California High-Speed Rail Authority's ridership …
