Huge San Francisco Pier 70 Project Could Be Approved Soon
The redevelopment of San Francisco’s 28-acre Pier 70 could be approved by the Planning Commission next week in the neighborhood of Dogpatch.
Per SocketSite, plans to change the area into a residential and commercial space have been underway for a decade. Now that the plans are complete, developers are waiting on the final OK.
Once the project’s Draft Environmental Impact Report, Design for Development, and Develop Agreement are approved, and all other requirements are met, ground may break sometime next year. The development isn’t expected to be completed for another 10 to 15 years once it starts.
The plans may change depending on the Planning Commission's final thoughts, but for now it features approximately 1,645 to 3,025 residential units, 1.1 to 2.3 million square feet of commercial or office space, up to 519,000 square feet of retail, industrial or art space, up to 3,345 off-street parking spaces, and nine acres of pedestrian and greenspace.
There are several historic buildings on site and the plan work around them. A separate project is in the works to rehabilitate eight large buildings and two smaller structures in the pier area.
