I blogged recently about South Weymouth Naval Air Station and the plans to convert that closed government facility to Southfield - a 1,500 acre mixed development south of Boston.
San Francisco has just approved the redevelopment of the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, a similar project to Southfield, located just north of San Bruno Mountain State Park on San Francisco’s Bay. This site has been undergoing 20 years of environmental cleanup that started several years after the base was closed in 1974. Because of the toxic nature of the site, $700 million dollars in Superfund dollars were used to bring the site to EPA standards.
The new 700 acre development will be completed in two phases on one of the last large tracts of land in the San Francisco Bay area ; Parcel A will be a 63 acre neighborhood that will include 1,400 homes, 25 acres of parkland, and over 9,000 sf of retail and commercial space.
Phase II, dubbed Candlestick-HP II will include 10,500 homes, 300 acres of parks and recreation areas, two million sf of retail and commercial as well as a potential future site for the new San Francisco 49ers stadium and a green technology research hub.
