Mission Bay

OVERVIEW

This 300-acre project, adjacent to the San Francisco Giants’ AT&T Park, includes over six million square feet of commercial and biotechnology space, thousands of housing units, 500,000 square feet of retail, a hotel, nearly 50 acres of public open space, a new public school, fire and police stations and a new public branch library. At the heart of the development is the state-of-the-art University of California San Francisco (UCSF) life sciences campus—at full build-out, it will be home to over 9,000 researchers and staff. Next door to the UCSF Campus is the Gladstone Institute, an 180,000 square foot private research facility dedicated to cardiovascular diseases, virology and immunology and neurological disease. Just a short walk away is the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), the state agency that will provide $3 billion in funding for stem cell research over the next 10 years.

PROJECT UPDATE

As of January 2010, 3,126 housing units, including 674 affordable units, have been constructed in Mission Bay.  An additional 319 units are under construction.  More than 1.7 million of commercial office and biotechnology lab space has been built, with five additional projects totaling 1.3 million square feet in predevelopment.  Seven buildings have been constructed on the UCSF campus, including five research buildings, a campus community center, and a university housing development.  More than 12 acres of new parks and open space have also been completed.

PARTNERS

As part of the planning process for the Mission Bay area, detailed agreements were created to clearly outline the roles and responsibilities for each of the key players involved in Mission Bay to facilitate the redevelopment of the area. As a result, the implementation of the Mission Bay North and South Redevelopment Plans has been a highly cooperative effort, involving the public, master developer (originally Catellus Development Corporation, now FOCIL-MB, LLC), individual for-profit and non-profit developers, the Redevelopment Agency, the Office of Economic and Workforce Development's Joint Development Division, and a wide range of other City agencies.
