The San Francisco Planning Department has approved rezoning Transbay Block 4 to conform with the 47-story proposal by Hines in SoMa. The 513-foot tower will exceed the 400-foot height limit for the parcel at 200 Main Street, creating 681 new homes, of which nearly half will be designated as affordable. Groundbreaking is expected by late 2023 or 2024.

Solomon Cordwell Buenz is responsible for the design, which incorporates three distinct residential types across two towers, each connected by a six-story base. The shorter 16-story additional will feature affordable housing managed by Mercy Housing, the 47-story tower will include both market-rate and affordable units, and the six-story base will provide twenty townhomes to increase activity on the street facing a proposed park. The basement level will offer parking, utilities, and trash services.
