MIRA SF - Construction on San Francisco's Twisty Tower
Filmed in 2019, this video features MIRA, a luxury condo building located at 280 Spear Street in San Francisco.
From Studio Gang, project architect:
MIRA is an urban residential development in the heart of San Francisco. Just blocks from the Bay Bridge, Embarcadero, and Rincon Park, the 400-foot-tall tower creates a welcoming new community in the evolving Transbay district and accommodates a wide range of units, with 40 percent designated below market rate.
The design responds to the need for dense housing in San Francisco and offers new models of sustainability, all while reinterpreting the city’s architectural traditions. It evolves the classic bay window, a familiar feature of San Francisco’s early houses, reimagining it in a high-rise context. Twisting incrementally over the height of the tower, the bays offer ample views, natural light throughout the day, and fresh air, and also inform the building’s distinctive form and texture-the result of special attention to the building’s energy performance and how it is experienced. Extending the habitable spaces within and offering platforms from which to view the city at all angles, the bays make every residence a corner unit.
A sophisticated curtain wall facade system allows the bays to be attached to a repeatable structural slab from inside the building, reducing the need for a tower crane on site and limiting energy consumption and neighborhood impact during construction. The bays allow for a high-performance facade that is 51 percent opaque without inhibiting nearly 180-degree-views in every unit. The high-performance facade, along with an innovative VRF cooling system, allows the building to exceed ambitious California Title 24 energy standards. This, along with a state-of-the-art graywater harvesting system, green roofs, and high-efficiency fixtures, awarded the project LEED Gold certification.

According to planning documents obtained from the City of Cupertino, Apple obtained a building permit in July 2023 for the new facility. The permit shows Apple will also build storage areas and a hallway at the production studio. It's just one of several projects currently underway at the c...
WATCH: Pacifica's coastal erosion problem, 5 years later

The cliffs along Esplanade Avenue in Pacifica look like they've lost somewhere between 10 to 30 feet of land to the Ocean since I flew my drone over the some area 5 years, 7 months ago. This video is a follow-up to my Jan. 23, 2016 video: czcams.com/video/CzrymETf9hY/video.html

Great now footage 😅 Awful music though. It's not a cool movie. It's nature. I had to mute it.
Not a proper place to build
From a bills fan who’s had season tickets for the Ralph for 10+ years this is sad to watch because beside the Ralph candlestick was my second favourite stadium and now in 2 years I’m losing my favourite stadium that ive made so many memories and friends at
I heard drones can't capture sound with their cameras. How come this one did?
'' What you w a n t ....is irrelevant....what you have ' chosen ' .....IS AT H A N D . ''' (Spock quote ). We both, wanted a beach view = well, ......i guess......we......got it. eh ?....ya figger ?
Whatever governing body approves land use didn't concider erosion maybe they were blinded by bundles of $$$ from land developers to give their stamp of approval. Those people that made the decision to allow building there I'm sure have long retired and living somewhere really nice with not a care in the world.
There goes your nice ocean view apartment
❤❤❤❤❤
Why, why building houses in those places,should not be allowed, then cry for the lost, not feel sorry for them nature is imperdibile disaster strike in any moment, they 😮know the chance they took
Im not gonna buy one. I dont have that kind of moneylol
Pacifica has squandered millions of dollars in property taxes through the years & now they plan on polluting the oceans even more with all that debris with who knows what toxic crap was left in those buildings! I have ZERO empathy for this community! This is fate! For people who take everything!& Then leave the mess for everyone else to clean up! We all end up paying for other people's selfishness & greed! Bless there heart's 💕
😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😅🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂😅😂🤣😂😅😂😂😅😂
È inutile continuare a spendere soldi per gettare massi alla base contro le onde. Queste case sono condannate.
Cliff just made of sand? This high or low tide?
Nice view but they are all going to have house boats pretty soon
❤It was a great flight. Thank you 👍

This video is a waste of time
Man, that ocean is a beast. Can you imagine trying to fight it? She's relentless, rarely calms and mostly rages. She's a super heavy weight with a perfect record. She's never lost to a ship or continent. Boulders are pebbles and mountains are stepping stones. Stay back - don't temp her or challenge her. She will crush you!!
Give it enough time, the oceans will erode everything. Even solid rock, though of course rock will take longer than sand.
I know SF is different now, cesspool, homelessness, crimes and Businesses leaving out. At some point in the future, this one will remain a time capsule from modern San Francisco.
not a disaster ...just bad planning.
Soooo, what does it take to be a structural or environmental engineer in the messed up state of California??? WAIT I'll open my box of "Cracker Jacks" and show you!!! An entire state of goofballs trying to dictate what's best for the country!!
Why were these structures built in such an obviously unstable area? Somebody wanted to make a quick buck.

What country is this? In? Why the hell are people still living in? These buildings? Have been England where I live they would’ve been forcefully evacuated by now and the buildings barricaded off so nobody was in them when they eventually collapse. Please tell me this is some sort of like half third world country where they’ve got no brainsthe authorities need to get them people forcefully removed for their own safety because obviously they haven’t got any brains because of standing there looking at the cliff falling from beneath them
Cette video date de 8 ans ,ces habitations se sont elles écroulées depuis ce temps ? 🥶🥶
I think they have. Mentioned as such in the comments when checked on google earth.
Pontoons have become a popular addition to many of these homes.😎
I'm still hoping to see LA slide underwater like in the famous movie. Amusing to see a cliff side retaining wall falling into the ocean.
BRIEF BLOG: ALTHOUGH THE LATE STEVE JOBS DIDN'T LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE FINAL COMPLETION OF THIS, HIS FINAL APPLE INC PROJECT PRIOR TO HIS PASSING IN 2011, AT LEAST HE PRESENTED THE INITIAL PLANS/DESIGN TO THE CUPERTINO CITY COUNCIL AS DEPICTED IN TH 2006 & 2011 CZcams VIDEOS. IT'S OBVIOUS HOW HIS HEALTH DETERIORATED BETWEEN THOSE YEARS, IT'S A REAL TRAGEDY. GRANTED THE LATE MR. JOBS WAS NOT PERFECT BY ANY MEANS, BUT HE WAS A REAL TOUGH BUSINESSMAN/ENTREPRENEUR & TECH VISIONARY LIKE NO OTHER. HIS LEGACY WILL LAST A LONG TIME AT APPLE INC. FOR A GREAT DOCUMENTARY TO VIEW ON HIS CAREER (& THERE ARE SEVERAL), CHECK OUT: STEVE JOBS ONE LAST THING VIA CZcams OR PBS.COM. IT'S VERY INFORMATIVE BUT W/A SAD ENDING. (RIP) STEVE JOBS.
We'll make up fortune!
To my investors,I have a great idea! let's build on Unstable sand, on the edge of a 300 Ft. Cliff Above the ocean! And see what happens😅
Squatters? Probably not, eh?
🦽🔛🦶🦶🦵🦵🔛🤒😷🤕
Really stupid build something on the edge of a cliff. What do you expect? It’s gonna happen. What about your dumbasses !!!
I'm not sure if people realise what a cliff is. A cliff is created by land that has been eroded away. If you buy property near a cliff, there is a reason why there is a cliff there in the first place.
Just a hop, skip and a JUMP from the beach!!
Very sad this is happening but I can see why people build houses there the location is magnificently beautiful.
Is it erosion? Would imagine its just nature, and people bringing too close to it.
Civil Engineer: You want to build homes on a dirt cliff overlooking the Ocean? You know that's not safe. Property Developer: Yeah, but they will have great views and the land is real cheap.
Let me guess, global warming, right? 😄
A poor place to build anything. 😖😖😖😖😖
WHY are those buildings there in the first place. ??????
Who really cares
I have zero pity for them. Who in their right mind would build on an eroding coastline?
Give the hotel to the migrants
thats sand and ppl are living in the apts on the left... I could not live in that, the cliff 80 ft and it falling and ppl out on the deck so casual. only in cali
So much for the people who haven't already left California.
How is it that they did not predict this, this coast line has been eroding in a constant rate for thousands of years.
lmfao,,,but the dirt is solid,,until you add the water,,,which is at your feet!! Ding!!
Any updates on how it looks now
Fkn noise would drive me insane!!!
