Baylands is a vast 500+ acre site straddling the boundary between San Francisco and the small town of Brisbane. A bay fill site between the former Southern Pacific Railroad and Highway 101, it has been used as both rail yards and landfill for San Francisco’s recycling center. Part of the site in San Francisco was formerly occupied by the Schlage Lock Company and is the location for a 750 unit transit-oriented residential neighborhood taking advantage of its proximity to the new Bayshore Caltrain intermodal station and the MUNI Third Street light rail line. The plan proposes a new grid of streets organized along a new linear park that links the former Schlage Lock buildings with the former Southern Pacific Railroad roundhouse. The blocks will contain a variety of house types ranging from townhouses, live/work lofts, to stacked flats.
The plan proposes a new town on the former railyards and landfill site on either side of the Caltrain line. Strategically located between Downtown San Francisco and SFO, the site could accommodate up to 4,000 dwellings and 10 million sq ft of office space.
