In June 2020, the Port of San Francisco selected Strada to redevelop the 13-acre Piers 30-32 and the two-acre Seawall Lot 330 sites along the San Francisco Bay waterfront. The development plan includes a mix of maritime, parks and public access, water recreation, resilience, retail, residential, and office use. The proposed project on Piers 30-32 includes extensive public infrastructure to seismically upgrade the seawall, address sea level rise, and retain and upgrade the existing deep-water berth that will allow the Port to serve cruise ships, military vessels, and emergency response ships. Additionally, a floating swim complex with an Olympic-size pool, a dedicated pool for learn-to-swim lessons, and a hot tub, plus a kayak and open water swim launch and other aquatic amenities will help create a new waterfront destination for San Francisco. The proposal for Seawall Lot 330 includes 715 residential units, including 25 percent affordable housing units, and parks and open space.

 

Projects of this scale take incredible teaming of public agencies and private developers to succeed. At this site in particular, decades of prior development projects have fizzled out. Come learn how the Port, Strada, and its design team have taken a unique approach this time around to chart a viable path forward that will serve as a model for other resilient waterfront development projects moving forward.
