For over 150 years this mothballed power station has stood between this neighborhood and its waterfront. This plan will bring a thriving neighborhood right to the water’s edge, while preserving its unique industrial character.

In addition to thousands of units of housing and millions of square feet of office and R&D, existing industrial structures will be adapted into uses that create a connection to the site’s history. Along its ground floors, the plan pioneered an innovative zoning that allows for more creativity in how retail can mix with other uses, inviting a mix of artists, makers, and entrepreneurs to activate the site in new and dynamic ways.

Kristen's team was selected as master planner for this site because of her experience on other significant projects along San Francisco’s waterfront, her knowledge of and ability to work collaboratively with the City and the community, and her thought leadership and innovation in resilient, waterfront design.

KHCD continues to work on the visioning, design, and placemaking strategy for each phase.
