New neighborhood in San Francisco? The Funky tower district.

By Brendan Nee on Apr 3, 2009

CurbedSF reports that a new residential development in the financial district might mark the start of the new “funky tower district”. The FiDi needs more people on the street outside of work hours to activate the vacant streets, patronize the restaurants and businesses and bank at the hundreds of ATMs scattered throughout.

I’m excited about the funky tower and the upcoming funky tower district. The plans include restaurants and improvements to the redwood grove and Mark Twain alley at the bottom of the Transamerica Pyramid. The twisty tower is reminiscent of the new De Young museum in Golden Gate park.

    I think it should be taller and look like a pointy cone to complement the TA. It should also have pink shiny glass to complement the skylines pastel colored towers.

    I like pastels, kind of sick of the Vancouver Emerald City look that’s sprouting up in South Beach . . .

    I just saw an article on deputy-dog about crazy pastel tie-die towers that were built outside of paris in the 1970s.
