PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Pier 70 is a 28-acre site located along San Francisco’s historic southern waterfront. Once redeveloped, this part of the waterfront will become an asset to the surrounding community by blending together a variety of uses: arts & creative spaces, housing across the spectrum of affordability, light-manufacturing, local retail, 9 acres of waterfront parks, all carefully designed to prevent any new building out of scale with historic structures on the site.

SERVICE DESCRIPTION

HCI leads the interagency project coordinator team for horizontal infrastructure supporting the 28- acre waterfront development site (a subset of the 35-acre SUD). In that capacity, HCI is responsible for coordinating approval of the Projects’ subdivision maps and street improvement permits, monitoring construction progress, costs and issues on behalf of the Port of San Francisco and bringing infrastructure to acceptance within the timelines outlined within the Projects’ Land Disposition and Development Agreement and Phase Applications. The HCI team employs its knowledge of city workflows, technical standards, and regulations to anticipate and triage potential issues with infrastructure transmittals to the City prior to formal routing. HCI has established a level of trust and mutual respect with City Agencies including SFPUC, SFFD, Public Works, and SFMTA that allows the HCI team to work directly with reviewers to reconcile conflicting technical comments, map conditions, or nonstandard design conditions in a timely manner. Finally, the HCI team also reviewing project costs on behalf of the Port of San Francisco in the context of the project’s Acquisition Agreement.

RELATED PROJECTS

Sunnydale HOPE

Sunnydale Hope SF is a multi-phased housing project that includes approximately 1,770 residential units (775 replacement affordable units, approximately 200 additional affordable housing units, and approximately 694 market rate units). The project also includes all new streets, utilities, and infrastructure, as well as 3.5 acres of new open spaces and approximately 60,000 square feet of new neighborhood-serving retail and community spaces. Sunnydale is San Francisco’s largest public housing community.

Hunters Point Shipyard

Hunters View was a 267-unit public housing project that housed some of the city’s most economically disadvantaged residents. The site is constrained by very natural steep terrain and existing street connections to the surrounding neighborhood are limited. A development team led by the Jon Stewart Company and Ridge Point Non-Profit Housing Corporation are in the 3rd Phase of a complete revitalization of the 22-acre Hunters View community. Once completed, the revitalization of Hunters View will result in a mixed-income community that includes both one-for-one replacement of the original 267 public housing units and the development of additional affordable and market-rate rental and for-sale units. The new mixed-income development will house residents with a range of incomes from less than 10% of Area Median Income (AMI) to well over 120% of AMI.
