Alongside the Tuesday ribbon cutting atop Verde, my recent site visit to Mission Rock gave me an opportunity to document the completion of phase one of the ambitious master plan along the San Francisco waterfront. Construction has replaced about half of the 28-acre surface parking lot with over five hundred homes, more than half a million square feet of commercial real estate, new internal streets, shops, and a public park across from Oracle Park. The project has been a joint venture with Tishman Speyer and the San Francisco Giants.

Amidst a struggling commercial real estate market, Mission Rock has proven a bright spot for San Francisco.

Now, the podium office space in The Canyon has been leased to Capgemini America, the US arm of the France-based global technology company.
