'The venture feels like an ugly vestige of 1980s Patrick Bateman excess and Japanese fetishism.'
While technically a trip up the gondola or escalator to the park is open to anyone, it’s clear from the security guards, labeled as “ambassadors,” circling the the 4-block sanitized Teletubby garden, and the surveillance cameras looking over the winding walkways, that the unhoused are not particularly welcome in that “community.” A list of rules planted throughout the space make it clear: No wheeled conveyances. No sitting on railings. No tents. No lying down or sleeping on chairs or benches.
In that piece, upon entering the gondola that provides access to the raised green space, the writer was met by a Salesforce"ambassador," an interaction that left architectural sociologist Galen Cranz alongside her remarking,"They don't want homeless, right?" There are many confusing aspects to the opening of Sho, even down to whether construction has actually started on the building. In an email to SFGATE, a spokesperson for the group wrote, “The restaurant is already under construction.” However, a timeline on its website says construction will begin in September. A recent walk around the park revealed no sign of construction of the building that will one day loom over Natoma Street like a multi-story faux-Zen Lego temple.
Outside of the private members lounge, the restaurant will be open to the public. Sho told SFGATE over email that the number of seats and tables available to the public is not available at this time.Membership, which begins pre-sale in the next few weeks, is split into three tiers: Earth, Water and Fire. That lowest rung, the Earth tier, will be limited to an oddly specific 2,878 members, and cost a one-time fee of $7,500.
The Water tier is limited to 377 individuals at a one-time fee of $15,000. Along with all the Earth membership perks, Water members can enjoy valet parking and a monthly curated omakase members dinner. The small print clarifies, in all seriousness, that “food & beverage [is] not included.”
