Pier 70, San Francisco, CA

ROMA Design Group served as urban designers, assisting Economic and Planning Systems in the preparation of a Master Plan for the Port of San Francisco’s property at Pier 70. The site is a 65-acre, industrial area located just south of Mission Bay and east of the eclectic Dogpatch neighborhood. At the time, the site was home to a number of Port tenants including a working ship-repair company, a radio broadcasting unit, an arts group, and a variety of storage uses. The more than 30 buildings on the property include one of the largest clusters of historic maritime structures on the West Coast. The Master Plan process provided a framework for the restoration of historic structures, integrated open space and public access at the site, and developed a financing strategy for future redevelopment.
