Treasure Island Development, Urban redevelopment project on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay, United States.
Treasure Island Development is a large-scale project transforming a former naval base into a residential neighborhood in San Francisco Bay. The site spans about 393 acres and includes thousands of housing units, shops, offices, parks, and open spaces designed to function as a complete district.
The island was created in the late 1930s to host a world's fair exposition and later became a naval base for decades. After the military left in 1993, planners began converting the site into a civilian neighborhood.
The redevelopment dedicates funding to public art installations and cultural programming across both islands. These creative spaces and regular events shape how the new neighborhood looks and feels to visitors and residents.
The site is accessible by public transportation including ferry service to the mainland and bicycle paths throughout the district. The infrastructure is being developed gradually, so it is helpful to check ahead about which areas are currently open to visitors.
The site incorporates hundreds of acres of parks with native plants and modern systems including greywater recycling and renewable energy sources. These environmental features exceed typical building standards and demonstrate an approach to sustainable urban design.
