„ What is the Railyards Project?
The SF Railyards Project currently consists of two inter-related efforts that will identify potential new track layouts and development concepts for the SF Railyards site.
- Caltrain/Prologis “Business Case”
By 2040, Caltrain envisions running trains every 7.5 minutes at rush hour and express service all day. Caltrain and Prologis are now evaluating options for the Railyards site that can meet the operational needs of this vision, while also supporting feasible development at the Railyards.
Deliverable: Track layout and development concept recommended for further detailed development (expected in Summer 2023). - SF Railyards
In partnership with public agencies, Prologis will propose a design and development concept for the SF Railyards and nearby rail tracks. The concept will include housing, office, commercial spaces; open space and community facilities; and connections between Soma, Showplace, Mission Bay and Mission Creek.
Deliverables: Zoning and development concept; Community benefits priorities (drafts expected in 2023)
Why does this project matter?
Redesigning the SF Railyards is an opportunity to:
- Increase Caltrain service and connections to High-Speed Rail, Central Subway, and other SFMTA lines
- Support future Caltrain service operations and public benefits
- Create transit-oriented development to increase access to regional jobs, housing, and destinations
- Reduce climate impacts by replacing car trips with more regional transit options
- Connect neighborhoods to the waterfront, schools, and open spaces
- Increase the resilience of the station and neighborhood in preparation for earthquakes and sea-level rise“
