Sierra Point is a small artificial peninsula that extends eastward into the San Francisco Bay from the eastern shore of the San Francisco Peninsula, located in Brisbane, San Mateo County, California (although the south part of the business park extends into South San Francisco). It lies entirely east of U.S. Route 101 . There are several class A office buildings at Sierra Point including the Dakin Building and the former Hitachi building. The Brisbane Marina is on the eastern shore of Sierra Point. The San Francisco Bay Trail runs along the waterfront of the peninsula and continues south into the Oyster Point area of South San Francisco.

History and characteristics

Sierra Point encompasses an area of 132 acres (53 ha), reclaimed from San Francisco Bay by landfill behind dikes. [1] 102 acres (41 ha) are for the office park and 30 acres (12 ha) are for the Brisbane Marina. [2] It is one of two large commercial districts in Brisbane; the older Crocker Industrial Park north of the residential area of Brisbane was developed during the 1960s. [3] :5

The Sunset Scavenger Company let a contract to the Easley and Brassy Company, who constructed an earthen dike from 1965 to 1967 around the existing site perimeter, on the existing mud flat east of San Bruno Mountain. The area, then named the Sierra Point Solid Waste Disposal Site, was used as an unlined Class III landfill between 1965 and 1972, covered daily with soil taken from Candlestick Point. [4] [5] :3–4 In total, 80 acres (32 ha) were used for the disposal of an estimated 1,900,000 to 2,600,000 cubic yards (1,500,000 to 2,000,000 m3) of solid waste. [4]

The entire site was purchased by Sierra Point Development Company (SPDC) from Sunset Scavenger in 1975. [5] :4 SPDC donated approximately 20 acres (8.1 ha) for a municipal marina to the City of Brisbane in 1980, [4] in partial exchange for development rights to the site. After it was complete, the city would assume control of the marina and collect property taxes on the improved site. [6] Development of the Sierra Point area was approved in 1979 and started in 1982. [3] The San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted Order 82-27 in June 1982 to provide landfill closure requirements; that was subsequently rescinded and superseded by Order 96-058 in 1996. [4] [5] :4 SPDC subsequently sold the site to Sierra Point Associates Two (SPA2) in November 1983. [4]

By 1996, 70 acres (28 ha) of the landfill site had been capped with a minimum of 3 feet (0.91 m) of clean soil and 1 foot (0.30 m) of compacted clay. [4] In 2001, the elevation of Sierra Point was 15 feet (4.6 m) above sea level, with settlement expected to reduce the elevation to 12 feet (3.7 m) over the next 100 years. [1]

As of 2008, Sierra Point has not been completely built out. Existing buildings include two office buildings north of the Marina loop (7000 Marina  1  and 5000 Marina  2 ), the oldest building at Sierra Point, an office building covered in dark glass just east of 101 and west of Marina (1000 Marina Blvd  4 ), two office buildings in the loop enclosed by Marina and Sierra Point (2000 Sierra Point Pkwy  5  and 8000 Marina Blvd  6 ), and two hotels in the southwest corner (near the western intersection of Marina and Sierra Point,  8  and  9 ). The parcel north of the oldest building is known as Parcel 3  3  [to become 3000–3500 Marina Blvd (under construction as of October 2022)], the area northeast of the eastern intersection of Marina and Sierra Point is zoned for another hotel  7 , the parcel south of Sierra Point Pkwy has been approved for the Sierra Point Biotech Project  10 , and the area east of the terminus of Sierra Point Pkwy is zoned for retail use and the planned Sierra Point Plaza  11 . [7]

There are buildings at 4000, 5000, 6000, and 7000 Shoreline Court ( 12  15 ) in the southern portion of Sierra Point which lies within the City of South San Francisco.

Brisbane Marina

The Brisbane Marina was completed in 1983 along the eastern shore of Sierra Point and has slips for up to 580 boats. [8] The Marina was built by a private developer at the city's expense in exchange for a long-term lease for the entire Sierra Point site; in addition, the developer would subsidize the loan payments for the money the city had borrowed to build the Marina. [6]

The Sierra Point Yacht Club was established in 1984 to support boaters and boating activities at Brisbane Marina; initial meetings were held at local restaurants, and the first Club building was a maintenance building rented from the City of Brisbane starting from 1988. The Club moved into its present site at 500 Sierra Point Parkway, near the southeast corner of Sierra Point, in 2000. [6]

7000 Marina  1  and 5000 Marina  2 

This area, north of Marina Boulevard, was originally designated Parcel 4 and is 8.00 acres (3.24 ha). [4] The Dakin Building was the first building to be developed at this site, at 7000 Marina.

3000–3500 Marina  3 

The northwest corner of Sierra Point is also known as Parcel 3, which occupies approximately 8.867 acres (3.588 ha). [4] The City of Brisbane approved the development of the Opus Office Center on Parcel 3 in 2009, which would include two office buildings and a five-story parking structure. In 2012, the City of Brisbane adopted development agreement DA-1-11; the project was largely unchanged except the development rights were extended to June 2022 and the buildings were required to be certified LEED Gold. [9] :5–6 An addendum was adopted in 2017 to further extend the development rights to 2027 in exchange for reverting control of Parcel R to the City of Brisbane. [10]

Sierra Point Plaza  11 

Parcel R is a 3.4-acre (1.4 ha) lot at the eastern terminus of Sierra Point Parkway, with an address of 400 Sierra Point Pkwy. It is owned by the City of Brisbane, but was leased in 1984 to a private developer to build up to 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) of commercial space. After the lease was signed, 12,500 square feet (1,160 m2) were re-allocated to the Biotech Project site, reducing the developable area to 37,500 square feet (3,480 m2). As of 2016, the site has not been developed beyond partial paving for a surface parking lot and a public park. [9] :6–11

Under the 2016 Development Agreement DA-1-16, the lease for Parcel R was terminated and control of the site was returned to Brisbane; further development of Parcel R was frozen until the city decides what to do with the site. [9] :14

4000–7000 Shoreline  12  13  14  15 

Parcel 10 lies south of the hotels in Parcel 1, entirely in the City of South San Francisco, and occupies 26.78 acres (10.84 ha). [4]

Exits along the San Francisco Peninsula's principal highway, U.S. Highway 101 (the Bayshore Freeway), lead to Sierra Point Parkway. Sierra Point Parkway runs approximately east-west for its length east of 101, and crosses under the freeway and runs north-south along the west side of 101 and east of Brisbane Lagoon. The southbound exit from 101 leads to the northernmost end of Sierra Point Parkway, where it intersects with Lagoon Road. The northbound exit from 101 is near where Sierra Point Parkway crosses under the freeway. Sierra Point is connected to the rest of Brisbane via the northern end of Sierra Point Parkway.

Marina Boulevard is the other primary road in Sierra Point; it forms a loop north of Sierra Point Parkway. South of the Parkway from its western intersection, it becomes Shoreline Court.

Although the Caltrain Bayshore Cutoff line runs along the west side of Sierra Point, there are no stops. The nearest stops are Bayshore to the north and South San Francisco to the south; the former Butler Road stop at Oyster Point just to the south of Sierra Point was removed in 1983.

Pacific Commons is a master-planned, mixed-use development consisting of 840 acres in Fremont, California currently in development by Catellus Development Corporation. It sits on part of the site of what was once the Fremont Dragstrip/Baylands Raceway Park and the Sky Sailing Airport, a glider field. Given Fremont's location at the Northern tip of Silicon Valley, Catellus originally planned the development to house primarily high-tech research and development operations with a moderate amount of retail and restaurant space, a convention center, and a hotel. Until the dot-com bubble, Cisco Systems had planned to relocate its headquarters to Pacific Commons and consolidate substantially all of its San Francisco Bay Area operations to a large campus in Pacific Commons, which would have consisted of several high-rise office buildings. With the downturn in the technology industry, however, Cisco put its plans on hold. While it is unclear whether Cisco will ultimately relocate its headquarters to Fremont, in 2011 Cisco purchased 149 acres of vacant land in Fremont, most of it from Catellus, fueling speculation that, at some point, it will move forward with its headquarters move to Pacific Commons.

None of the present proposals have been approved by Brisbane's city council.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Bayview Park, San Francisco</span>

Bayview Park is a 46.63-acre (18.87 ha) park in the Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood of southeast San Francisco. The park's land is mainly occupied by a large hill named either Bayview Hill or Candlestick Hill, west of the former site of Candlestick Park and east of the Bayshore Freeway; it is prominently visible from both. The hill was initially proposed as parkland by Daniel Burnham in his 1905 Burnham Plan for San Francisco as Visitacion Park, but the park was not created until 1915. Prior to that, the title to the land was held by the Bay View Land Company, which intended to erect luxury houses on the site. After plans for housing fell through, it was proposed to create a pest house on the site in 1902 until the Crocker Land Company donated adjacent land to the city to block plans for the pest house. KYA (1260 AM) opened a studio and 5000-watt radio transmitter on the hill in 1937, and further development of the area occurred in 1958, when part of the hill was quarried to create fill and land for Candlestick Park. Currently, the park receives relatively few visitors to what is considered one of the best-preserved remnants of pre-Columbian open spaces in San Francisco.

Fill from the five tunnels was used to build the Visitacion or Bayshore Yard, the main SP classification yard near the city of Brisbane. The Del Monte was similarly rerouted over the line at some point in its operational history.
