Mission Rock features European-style streets that put pedestrian life first.
A bold new neighborhood is taking shape near San Francisco’s Oracle Park baseball stadium. The 28-acre-mixed used waterfront development called Mission Rock will eventually have more than 1,000 apartments along with office space, commercial space, and an inventive pedestrian-first streetscape design. Integral to the neighborhood’s design are three recently opened outdoor installations that could reinvent what people expect from the city’s public realm.
