The Millennium Tower complex in which the tower rises from (on the south end) is located on Mission Street and is bounded by the Fremont and Beale Streets and the north end of the Transbay Terminal. The entire complex is currently projected for completion sometime in 2008.Contents1 Description 2 History 3 Construction 3.1 Millennium Tower 3.2 301 Mission Street 4 Gallery 5 Notes 6 See also 7 References 8 External links // DescriptionThe USD $350 million project is developed by Millennium Partners of New York City and designed by Handel Architects and engineered by DeSimone Consulting Engineers. At 645 ft. (197 m), it will be the fourth tallest building in San Francisco when completed, and the tallest since 345 California Street in 1986. The tower is slender, with each floor containing 14,000square feet (1,300m2) of floor space. In addition to the 60-story tower, there is a 125-foot (38 m) 12-story tower on the northeast end of the complex. Between the two towers is a two-story glass atrium approximately 43 ft (13 m) tall. In total, the project will have 440 units, consisting of 320 residences and 120 extended-stay hotel units. The residences are said to be the priciest on the West Coast, with penthouse units on floors 59 and 60 selling for around USD$ 12 million. The bottom 25 floors of the main tower will be called Residences while the floors from 26 to 60 will have the name Grand Residences. The 53 units in the 12-story tower will be called the City Residences. Below street level, there will be 355 parking spaces in a four-story underground garage located under the midrise building. Overall, the tower's design is intended to resemble a translucent crystal, and is a landmark for the Transbay Redevelopment and the southern skyline of San Francisco.HistoryThe current building replaced an earlier design which included two towers called 301 Mission Street I & 301 Mission Street II linked together by a six story podium. The earlier design was never built and the current plan replaced it sometime around 2003. Soon afterward, the project was approved 4-1 and construction began in 2005. The only against vote came from Sue Lee.ConstructionThis is the tallest building under construction in San Francisco.Millennium TowerAs with almost any high rise construction project, Webcor used a tower crane on the worksite. The massive concrete foundation mat for the 60-story tower has been completed on the one-acre site. As of June, 2008, the first 60 floors are built, the concrete core rises to 61 stories (roof level), curtainwall glass is installed from floor 3 to 60, and ventilation panels are located on the second floor. The building topped out on February 8 and Webcor held a topping-off ceremony. The building is currently the fourth tallest building in San Francisco. The yellow tower crane on the top of the building was replaced by a smaller red crane. The red crane was replaced by an even smaller derrick crane over the 4th of July weekend. Work is underway on the steel crown of the building and the first phase of the crown structure is complete.301 Mission StreetExcavation work is complete and well as the entire underground parking garage. Currently, the concrete structure reaches up to the 13th level or the roof. Glass covers all 12 floors of the midrise building. The crane used to construct the midrise has been removed. The Beale Street Pedestrian Bridge spanning from the site of the midrise to 201 Mission Street is gone. The atrium connecting this midrise to the skyscraper has been built.GalleryThe Millennium Tower in early June 2006.Construction site on...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about towel embroidery, womens rash guard, .
