225 Grand Street Bricked


The first of bit of facade is going up on this Grand Street rental tower; the Marin Boulevard side of the tower is getting covered with goldenrod bricking.



So far it seems the tower will have a set back on the Grand Street elevation.

April Showers Bring Grand Street Tower



The Grand Street Tower should have reached its full height. The center of the structure is still empty, but will likely be filled in as construction continues.

255 Grand Street

The new tower rising on the corner of Grand Street and Marin Blvd, just north of Gull's Cove has made some remarkable progress, adding two floors and extending the base around the property. The most remarkable thing about this building is how it illustrates the height variation along Marin Blvd. The foundation wall rises dramatically as it approaches Grand Street.
