Top floor being framed out. Say bye-bye to the views of the State Fish Pier from the street.

Looks like the first floor is framed up and the plywood is on.  Not much in the way of windows which leads me to believe that it will be LNG storage (not positive about that though)

Here is the main exhibit space on the new construction.

That round window is the one you see from the street at the peak of the roof line. Here is the view from that window-

Looks like they are tying the deck into the mainland with rebar.  Close to being done on this advanced engineered pier.  The people that poured the concrete told Manuel who is a dock manager there that he has never poured concrete on a pier engineered to such high standards.

First there was the concrete filled steel pilings which support the huge cement and rebar frame.

Then the pre-poured panels were set in place which locked into place on top of that frame. Now another layer or cement reinforced with rebar is being laid over all of that which will tie the whole thing together.

I swear you could support an aircraft carrier on this deck.

Great job.
