New information has been released from the San Francisco Planning Commission meeting tomorrow about the Foster + Partners-designed Block 7A tower in Potrero Power Station development in Dogpatch. The 264-foot tall building will create 325 new apartments on top of ground-level retail overlooking the Power Station public park.

Phase one of construction is expected to build four commercial buildings, $300 million of infrastructure work, a 2.5-acre park, 735 units, including a 98-unit affordable housing building at Block 7B. Potrero Power Station will contribute over 2,600 apartments to the San Francisco housing market along with 100,000 square feet of storefronts, 1.6 million square feet of offices or life science laboratories, and seven acres of public parks at full build-out. Of the units, 780 will be designated as affordable housing.

In early June of this year, Groundbreaking was announced just 44 months after Associate Capital purchased the land. The first buildings are expected to finish by 2026, with full buildout roughly estimated around 2035. Construction will be spread across three phases with an anticipated price tag of over $2 billion.
The project will be reviewed by the San Francisco planning commission tomorrow, July 15th. The meeting will start at 1 PM. For information on joining, watching the presentation, and providing public feedback, visit the city website here.
