San Francisco Chronicle — “Near the Embarcadero, a Tower of ‘Migrating Bays’”

“One of San Francisco’s most anticipated towers finally has an architectural green light from the city — nearly two years after the unusual design was unveiled and with few changes that will be obvious from afar. Part of the reason for the delay was politics, no surprise. But the evolution of acclaimed Chicago architect Jeanne Gang’s residential cluster on Folsom Street near the Embarcadero also offers fresh proof that for planners in this city, the skyline show often isn’t as important as what happens on the ground.”

MIRA (formerly the Folsom Bay Tower), Studio Gang’s first residential tower in downtown San Francisco, was approved by the city’s Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure.
