July 20th is the Opening Date for the Waterfront Playground at Sue Bierman Park!

Rincon Hill newsletter

Construction progress is being documented on the Waterfront Playground website. The community pushed, raised the needed money to build it, and thank goodness there's one playground being built somewhat near the Ferry Building and the many child care centers that hold about 600 kids every weekday!

From the Curbed inbox:

Any info on the heavy construction on Broadway between Sansome and Battery? Looks like a new office building in the works. For years this corner has been a vacant lot.
