Long after the 49ers left for Santa Clara, and more than a decade after plans for a grand redevelopment, there is a new plan for Candlestick Point in San Francisco.
Developers and city planners now say ground could be broken relatively soon, and neighbors in the area say it's a long time coming.'It's a great view,' said Allen Mort. 'I think, when I look out here, it's one of the biggest chances in America, in an urban environment like this.'When Mort steps outside his San Francisco home, he gets this remarkable view of a corner of the city in waiting.'Something needs to happen here,' he said.
It includes taller buildings, and a so-called 'innovation district' aimed at biotech and AI - that replaces some of the original retail space. In short, the changes reshuffle the schedule and the financing, and that requires approval by the Board of Supervisors.'In the first phase, there will be affordable housing being built?' Supervisor Shamann Walton asked.
