The proposal provides a $369M investment in port infrastructure and a broad range of public benefits for the city and the region, including much-needed affordable housing that is fully paid for by the project, dynamic new waterfront public spaces and recreational uses that prioritize inclusivity and openness, enhanced maritime uses, and significant workforce development and job opportunities.

Enhancing public access and maritime use on the piers while protecting the environment is a major tenet of the proposal. This goal is achieved by demolishing the entire existing pier slab and piles and then rebuilding brand new piers with a 45% smaller footprint. The resulting pier will be a total of 7.2 acres in size of which almost 3 acres will be publicly accessible open space.

The city’s relationship to the bay has evolved over time, now defined by a successful reimagining of the waterfront from industry trade and conveyance, to activity, health, community, ecology and resilience. In this context the Piers 30-32 and the Seawall 330 sites provide an essential opportunity to continue the opening of downtown San Francisco to the water, successfully integrating infrastructure, housing, workplace, ecology, public amenity and community into a new and vibrant waterfront hub.
