The reinvention of this S.F. island is undergoing its first phase

Back to

The reinvention of the 425-acre island created in the 1930s out of rubble and sand to hold the Golden Gate International Exposition is a work in progress that likely will continue for decades. But the first phase is far enough along that if you’re curious about how urban landscapes emerge and mature, this is the summer to start taking notes.

Situated in the middle of San Francisco Bay, Yerba Buena Island is a remarkable 150-acre ecological resource with many unique and significant features, including steep topography and vegetated hillsides; dramatic views of San Francisco Bay and Treasure Island; a deep cultural history; and intact communities of native flora and fauna – some unique to Yerba Buena Island. The redevelopment of the island balances new housing, infrastructure and the programming of active open spaces with protection and restoration of the island’s natural character in a way that respects its ecological diversity and habitat.
