The real estate journal The Registry named Arterra among San Francisco’s most cutting-edge green projects. Click here to download the article from the December issue.
Many of Arterra’s “green” attributes are evident in the construction process, including the use of Trespa, an exterior cladding made with end-of-lifecycle material that not only covers the building’s surface and lends it color and texture, but also serves as part of a rain screen system that protects the building and improves interior air quality.
The Arterra is scheduled for completion and homeowner move-ins in mid 2008.

This is very exciting–the first public library to open in San Francisco in the last 40 years is going to open its doors on July 8th 2006. This 7,500-square-foot library will cater to the burgeoning new Mission Bay neighborhood and is located at the corner of Fourth and Berry streets. The library is easily accessible by MUNI and CalTrain and is yet another step in changing the landscape of the Mission Bay district of San Francisco.
According to the Mission Bay Library website, “the library’s collection of approximately 34,000 books, CDs, DVDs and other materials will highlight local interests such as baseball, maritime history and boating. A children’s area, along with books, storytimes and special programs, will be available for the growing number of families moving into the neighborhood. Materials in large print and a state-of-the art large print reader to assist visually impaired patrons also will be available.”

Due to budget constraints, UCSF has decided to delay the ground breaking for the new Mission Bay hospital. Though some on Potrero Hill may be excited about the lack of construction and additional years with a bay view, others are concerned.
