Transbay Block 2 occupies 0.98 acres in the East Cut, on the block that held the Transbay Temporary Terminal. A public mews will run between the two buildings. For a walking or coach itinerary, the mews is the interior leg of a downtown loop.
The Line Through the Block
SF YIMBY reports the mews connects Folsom Street to the future Block 3 park. It passes a central courtyard and the secured childcare open space. Mithun, the west building's architect, states the mews will support pedestrian connectivity in the neighbourhood.
The same publisher reports a five-storey townhouse wall along the future extension of Clementina Street on both buildings, and that extension will separate Block 2 from the park.
No source publishes a width, a surface or a completion date for the mews. A route plan carries the line and stops there.
The Four Frontages
SF YIMBY binds the block by Folsom Street, Beale Street, Howard Street and Main Street. Block 2 East carries the address 230 Folsom Street. The west building overlooks Folsom Street, and the publisher's May 2025 photographs were taken from Beale Street and from Main Street at Clementina Street.
A guide builds the loop on those streets and uses the mews to cross the middle.
Pacing the Loop
No source publishes the block's dimensions or a walking time across it. The published sequence runs from Folsom Street through the mews to the future Clementina Street extension and the park land beyond.
Two buildings frame that line. The west building is nine storeys and 109,650 square feet. Its northeast side steps down to five floors, and that lower wall is articulated as townhomes with private stoops.
The Construction Years
Chinatown Community Development Center and Mercy Housing California held a joint groundbreaking in May 2024. Mithun's project note from June 2024 put completion at 2025. SF YIMBY's May 2025 dispatch reports the west building topped out with facade installation complete and the east tower at 14 floors. That dispatch projects a summer 2026 finish.
The publisher's project category carries no later dispatch. A guide rechecks the block before each season.
The mews, the Clementina Street extension and the park beyond are future works on that record. Block 3 is a proposed one-acre park with a playground, open lawn and trees.
What the Retail Adds
The west building carries 3,000 square feet of ground-floor retail at the foot of the mews. The east building adds 1,960 square feet of community-serving retail and a 6,480-square-foot childcare centre serviced by Wu Yee, per SF YIMBY's April 2024 report. Neither publisher names a tenant or an operator.
A downtown loop that ends at the block ends at two commercial spaces with no published occupant.
Coach Access
No source describes a coach set-down, a loading bay, a turning circle or a kerbside restriction at either building. The named streets are Folsom, Beale, Howard and Main.
A coach itinerary sets the drop on one of those streets and runs the block on foot.
