Proposed Development

The Northside Community Park

The Northside Community Park, located on the north shore of Hunters Point, provides a full suite of
passive and active uses. Basketball and volleyball courts surround a picnic shade pavilion on the upper
terrace of the park. The picnic areas present visitors with distant views of downtown San Francisco.

Point/Bayview community.

Hunters Point
Hunters Point is primarily a residential community. The predominant building typology is a
combination of stacked flat four story buildings and three story townhomes. Several eight story
buildings and two towers line the edge of the central Park Street to create a street wall that
highlights the streets community importance and frames views to the bay.
Hunters Point Village Center
Together with Fisher Streets mixed-use retail and Artists Colony, will be the focus of activity at Hunters Point.
Research & Development (R&D)
Innovation District for Emerging Technologies. The Research & Development precinct, lying east of
Fisher Street along the shoreline, contains approximately 2 million square feet of space focused on
emerging technologies.

Stadium & Community Sports Field Complex

A new sporting complex for the 49ers and the community A new 69,000-seat stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, will be constructed
south of Spear Avenue. The stadium will be surrounded on its north side by a major civic plaza and its west and south sides by parking, a
majority of which will be dual-use surfaces, available for parking on game days and a variety of field sports on non-game days.

Sports field Complex

The Sports Field Complex will serve the needs of the local community as well as attract users from throughout the region,
hosting youth sporting events. This large facility will include a variety of soccer/football, baseball and volleyball fields, as
well as batting cages, warm-up fields, a field house, restrooms and food concessions. The critical mass of the fields in
combination with the adjacent Active Urban Recreation Area, waterfront parks, trails, picnic and barbeque areas and other
leisure offerings make this an ideal sporting complex.

The Last Rubble
As the Last Rubble Area will be located adjacent to a substantial urban population, this area will
be transformed into a new center for the State Park, with a wide variety of program elements.

Grasslands Ecology Park at Hunters Point

The State Park lands will be extended beyond Yosemite Slough to incorporate the southern
shoreline of Hunters Point at Parcel E. This area will contain native Eco-Gardens, passive
lawns, native grasslands, windbreak groves and landforms offering views of the bay and
shoreline habitats.
Candlestick North
An urban village with mid and high rise homes, shopping and parks Candlestick North is the most concentrated community, with the
greatest number of homes, animated neighborhood streets, energetic parks and an anchoring main street filled with shops and services.

Candlestick Center
The vibrant mixed use core of Candlestick Point Candlestick Center is the heart and focus of activity for Candlestick
Point. It is a mixed-use district with regional shops and services, offices, hotel, performance center and residential mid-rises.
Candlestick South
A contemporary version of the early California beach communities Candlestick South, like many early California beach communities, derives its
character from the views and activity of the beach. This is established with a fine-grained block pattern, low buildings, numerous pathway connections
to the shoreline, and a central City park that connects the shoreline back to the retail BRT street and creates expansive views to the bay.

The earth mound forms a platform that matches the elevation of the deck. This mound blocks the
views toward the bottom part of the building, so the building appears shorter. Access is provided
via a bridge this is the first spot that allows the building to be seen from bottom up.

Viewing platform wraps around most of the building. There are areas there platform connect to bottom slab
via ramps or stairs and cantilevers over the water in where views are better.

The platform helps breaking the massing and channels the views toward the top of the structure.
A prominent element is a climbing wall, located between the water and the building and facing the building.

The building is open on both ends for cross ventilation. It takes advantages of the breeze, as it is
sited at the water edge. The climbing wall serves as a wind barrier at the entrance and acts as a
mini-stage, where you can be seen or you can see into the building, while climbing vertically.
