(from those very nice people at the chronicle)The San Francisco Giants' plan to convert AT&T Park's barren, wind-swept parking lot into the "heartbeat of Mission Bay," with homes, offices, shops and restaurants, is the much-needed link that will connect the burgeoning neighborhood to the rest of the city, team officials said Tuesday.

The Mission Rock District is a dynamic mixed-use district that will be developed by The Cordish Company, in partnership with the San Francisco Giants. This district will transform an underutilized sixteen acre surface parking lot into a world class destination that features an oceanfront public park, performance venues, retail, office, and residential uses. The public park, uniquely positioned on the San Francisco Bay, will provide residents and visitors with unrestricted ocean access and open the district to spectacular views of the world famous bay. The Mission Rock District will also provide an efficient, long-term parking solution for ATT Park.

“I have every faith that we’ll work as a team,” Lee said of the Giants, Board of Supervisors and Planning Department. Lee said he hoped the project would move ahead and “not have the traditional tortuous process.”
Mission Rock Seawall Lot 337 & Pier 48
Project Overview
The Mission Rock development opportunity is located on twenty-seven acres just south of AT&T Park across the China Basin Channel. The land currently functions as a surface parking lot primarily used by ballpark patrons and an aging pier. Our goal is to transform this property into a dynamic new mixed-use community featuring a spectacular waterfront park, dramatic waterfront residences, innovative work environments, original shops and cafes, and a refurbished historic pier. The project is expected to take approximately six years to construct, following the negotiation and approval of a real estate transaction with the Port and the conclusion of the environmental review process. The project is expected to create thousands of new jobs and contribute substantial new revenues to the Port and the City.
