Through the replacement of four 1940’s era warehouses, the SF Gateway will upgrade and transform 448,000 sf of existing PDR into over 1 million square feet of flexible and innovative PDR space. Housed in two state-of-the-art multistory facilities, the SF Gateway is designed to meet the most pressing operational challenges of PDR businesses. A unique ramp design prioritizes efficient movement of goods and vehicles, allowing the facility to be self-contained and operate seamlessly with the surrounding area. The project will aid the continued transformation of the Bayview Market Zone, provide amenities to enhance the neighborhood, create jobs and advance the local economy. Improved streets, dedicated street-level Maker space and retail will bring much-needed upgrades and activity to the neighborhood. SF Gateway will help usher in a new resilient and sustainable supply chain through significant investments in rooftop solar and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
By investing in a modern facility, the project will provide much-needed space for PDR businesses to grow and continue to support city life. The flexible and innovative design will ensure the building can meet current and future demand, serving existing operations and attracting new and evolving industries.
