Five Point’s SF Shipyard and Candlestick Point Communities Achieve Major Milestone With Unanimous Approval of San Francisco Board of Supervisors

City leaders OK additional 2 million square feet of commercial entitlements in new plan configuration

ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Five Point Holdings, LLC (NYSE: FPH) announced that city leaders in San Francisco unanimously approved the re-imagined design for the SF Shipyard and Candlestick Point communities this week, enthusiastically endorsing developer Five Point’s plans for thousands of homes and an additional 2 million square feet of commercial space.

“It is a great project,” said London Breed, mayor-elect of San Francisco, who touted the development’s “amazing jobs ratio to housing — 1.5 jobs to every one household, which is exactly what we should be doing as it relates to increasing development, which provides job opportunities and housing.”

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors’ June 26^th vote approving the project’s design of housing and approximately 6 million square feet of office, R&D, retail, entertainment, institutional and other uses comes just weeks after the U.S. Navy released its plan for retesting of the former shipyard site. The U.S. Navy’s recently announced plans provide a timeline for the retesting that will prioritize the parcels within the SF Shipyard site intended to be the next development phases. Five Point will continue to focus its development activities at the Candlestick Point community while retesting of the former shipyard site proceeds.

Several Supervisors praised the vision of the redesigned plan, which includes educational institutions, artist lofts, maker space, office, retail and affordable housing.

“It really was forward thinking,” said Supervisor Ahsha Safai, lauding the project’s inclusionary housing for working families and seniors developed over many years. “Open space, green space; they have a commercial kitchen … and art space … It is almost unbelievable.”

Five Point, the master developer, commissioned internationally acclaimed architect David Adjaye of Adjaye Associates — architect for The National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C. — as the masterplan architect, and his plan retains key legacy buildings and features to root the development in the neighborhood’s past while establishing new infrastructure and built form to support its innovative future.

The project is also expected to bring much needed jobs to the community. Michael Theriault, representing the San Francisco Building & Construction Trades Council, spoke for local labor interests. “It's a very handsome project as currently designed by David Adjaye, and it will allow for greater economic possibilities in the site both for our members and for long-term employment,” said Theriault.

Kofi Bonner, Co-COO of Five Point, said the SF Shipyard and Candlestick Point communities will be the anchor of the city’s burgeoning southeast development. “The development vision embraces all that is great about San Francisco, and with this vote and the urgency from city and federal officials, the SF Shipyard and Candlestick Point communities are poised to be among the great waterfront developments in the United States,” said Bonner. “And none of this could happen without our successful public-private partnership with the City.”

Supervisor Malia Cohen, president of the Board and elected representative of the District where the SF Shipyard and Candlestick Point development will unfold, said the project sounded like a dream when it was first introduced decades ago. “Today's meeting is a long time in the making,” said Cohen. “This development set the gold standard for what was possible in affordable housing negotiations, and I applaud the forward thinking inclusionary housing numbers along with the advanced community benefits that came with them.”
