The covers 684 acres adjacent to San Francisco. The plan envisions 4,400 units of housing, 6 million square feet of office, industrial and R&D space, a grocery store, a pharmacy, retail, restaurants, a theater, more than 300 acres of habitat, new sports fields and active recreation opportunities, and a site dedicated to a future high school. The developer proposes to remediate the site’s existing environmental contamination and envisions the project as a model of sustainability, incorporating renewable energy, innovative storm water management and LEED-rated or equivalent buildings.
