The Facts

FivePoint broke ground Wednesday on roads, sidewalks, and utilities for Candlestick Point, reports Kevin V. Nguyen at The Standard. The 270-acre redevelopment is planned for 7,218 homes, 2.8 million square feet of office and research space, retail, parks, and other public amenities.

The Context

After more than a decade of delays, the city amended the project in 2024 to let Candlestick proceed separately from Navy cleanup at Hunters Point Shipyard. In June 2026, the Board approved a phased final map sponsored by Supervisors Shamann Walton and Rafael Mandelman, clearing land and infrastructure work for a portion of the site. Candlestick is among roughly 20,000 approved homes still unbuilt across District 10.

The GrowSF Take

Finally! Bayview deserves the promised homes, stores, parks, and services.
