Candlestick Point Redevelopment to Start Construction This Summer After Final Map Approval

Construction on the long-delayed Candlestick Point redevelopment is set to begin this summer, more than a decade after the demolition of Candlestick Park. On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved the final map for the project’s first phase, clearing the way for master developer FivePoint to start work.

The first phase covers streets, sidewalks, and utilities, the groundwork for an initial batch of about 675 homes. Construction on the residential and commercial buildings is further out. Developers and city officials say it will likely be at least two years before that begins, depending on permitting and market conditions.

What’s planned

Candlestick Point is the larger half of a two-part redevelopment that also includes Hunters Point Shipyard Phase 2. According to the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure (OCII), the Candlestick Point portion is entitled for about 7,218 homes, roughly 106 acres of parks and open space, and about 2.8 million square feet of office and research space, along with retail and hotel uses. Across both areas, the plan calls for about 10,672 homes, with 31 percent set aside as affordable to low- and moderate-income households.

The site sits at the southeastern edge of the city in Bayview-Hunters Point, bordered by San Francisco Bay. The San Francisco 49ers played their last season at Candlestick in 2013 before moving to Santa Clara, and demolition of the stadium wrapped in 2015.

What’s already moving

One piece of the plan is further along. The Alice Griffith neighborhood within Candlestick Point is in its development phase, replacing 256 public housing units and adding 242 new affordable units for San Francisco families, according to OCII.
