It will be a uniquely San Francisco venue– a hub to purchase goods and gifts authentic to the region; a platform for the enjoyment of local craft beverages; and a flexible public amenity that will enhance its surroundings along the Embarcadero.
Team members include Page & Turnbull, Gehl Architects, Plant Construction, Holmes Culley & Fire, and local partner SFMade.
