Construction begins at 17th & Rhode Island
The site of the former S&C Ford auto repair facility at 17th and Rhode Island, a unionized shop with hundreds of employees which was forced out of its site for the planned Macromedia office headquarters at the height of the dot-com boom, is finally seeing the start of construction after sitting as a gaping testament to bad city planning for years.
The space is fully entitled for mixed use according to Greg Asay, legislative assistant to Sophie Maxwell. There are plans for a 35,000 square foot Whole Foods within this development, with residential space above.
The satellite view, below, shows the razed foundation of the building (does anyone out there have pictures of the structure before it was demolished?).

Wow, I'm surprised we're getting a Whole Foods, since they just put the one in SoMa (4th at Harrison). That's big news to me!
Agreed, you'd think the store at 4th and Harrison would give them enough coverage, but then, there's a new Safeway on King just to provide goods to the immediate area...
anyone know what the construction timeline is, ie when it's the building is scheduled to open?
