Overview
- City and developer FivePoint held a ceremonial groundbreaking and began infrastructure work on the former Candlestick Park site on Wednesday, starting roads, stormwater systems, sidewalks and transit lanes for seven blocks of development.
- The initial phase will allow about 700 housing units, roughly 41 percent of which will be affordable, and will include a 350,000‑square‑foot office building and public open space.
- Officials and FivePoint mapped a phased schedule that targets completion of the first homes around 2029, delivery of a commercial and innovation district in the early to mid‑2030s, and full build‑out into the 2040s.
- San Francisco decoupled Candlestick from the adjacent Hunters Point shipyard in 2024, a change city leaders say removes the shipyard’s cleanup constraints and cleared the way for work to begin.
- Bayview community leaders stress that promised affordability, local hiring and transparency must be enforced so longtime residents benefit from the project after decades of delays, environmental scandals and shifting plans.
