Formerly the West Coast’s most important shipping port, no neighborhood captures San Francisco’s spirit of innovation better than Mission Bay. In 1998, the Board of Supervisors and the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure established a 303-acre development plan that has earned global recognition as an urban smart growth model. The vibrant neighborhood offers high population density, excellent transit, and contains over 11,837 residential units. Mission Bay attracts young professionals, empty nesters, and families alike, and is home to renowned companies such as Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, UCSF, Uber, Old Navy, and OpenAI, and is the location of Oracle Park, the home of the San Francisco Giants. Approximately 4.4 million square feet of commercial office and lab space exist today. Mission Bay is served by Muni’s new 3rd Street Light Rail system, bus lines, and the regional-serving Caltrain, which extends the length of the peninsula. Chase Center is a modern and innovative multi-purpose arena located in San Francisco’s Mission Bay neighborhood. Opened in 2019, it is the home arena of the Golden State Warriors. In addition to hosting basketball games, Chase Center is a vibrant entertainment destination, accommodating concerts, comedy shows, and cultural performances. Its location has contributed to the revitalization of the surrounding area, drawing businesses and visitors.
