Potrero Power Staton Mixed-Use Development Project

The Potrero Power Station Mixed-Use Development Project is a multi-phased redevelopment of a 29-acre site along San Francisco's central bayshore waterfront, formerly the site of the Potrero Power Plant. The 2025 modified project expands the scope to approximately 5.6 million gross square footage across 15 development blocks, incorporating residential market-rate and affordable housing, commercial office, retail, hotel, research and development, and industrial production, distribution, and repair uses. The project also includes the creation of waterfront open space, a dock facility, shoreline improvements, and an internal grid of public streets and utilities. Construction began in 2020 with an original estimated completion date of 2035. The project is managed by the City and County of San Francisco and is governed by the Potrero Power Station Special Use District and CEQA guidelines. A critical component of the project is the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, which mandates strict compliance with environmental standards regarding air quality, noise, and biological resources. Key requirements include the use of renewable diesel, a two-minute idling limit for diesel engines, and the implementation of a Construction Emissions Minimization Plan. Additionally, the project requires the installation of ADA-compliant curb ramps and specific on-street ADA parking. Environmental safeguards are in place to protect marine mammals during pile driving and to manage the discovery of archaeological or paleontological resources, which may temporarily suspend construction.
