That was my though also. But Check out the building in the foreground of the photo in post 11 also under construction, probably part of the same complex. Wood framed construction.
FWOOMP!

Yes, I was looking at the same picture. Wood framing on a high rise? Can’t imagine doing that—in an apartment building no less.
CA has all kinds of fire safety rules and flammability ratings for furnishings and materials.
Maybe we are not seeing wood materials there?
I don’t recognize the green cladding material either.

On the left it appears to be some store of steel covering the roof. Possibly used wood to temporally close in some portions of of the building.

It's San Francisco. Liquifaction.
Wood is flexible. Brick collapses in an earthquake.
They traded rigid for flexible. Earthquake for fire.
