A Second Format for Industrial Tenancy
SF Gateway replaces four single-storey warehouses in Bayview Hunters Point with two three-storey production, distribution and repair buildings. The Board of Supervisors passed the development agreement on 2 December 2025. Prologis is the sponsor.
Three storeys change the unit a PDR tenant can rent. The floor area multiplies. The land area does not.
What the Two Blocks Carry Today
The site is 17.1 acres inside the northwest industrial district of Bayview Hunters Point that the city calls the Market Zone. The state clearinghouse record bounds it by Kirkwood Avenue to the north, Rankin Street to the east, McKinnon Avenue to the south and Toland Street to the west. An elevated section of Interstate 280 cuts across the site.
Four single-storey buildings stand on the two blocks. The clearinghouse record puts their production, distribution and repair area at 448,000 gross square feet.
What Replaces Them
The replacement is two three-storey buildings. Each stands 97 feet tall, with a maximum of 115 feet including rooftop equipment.
The Planning Department puts the new PDR space at about 1,646,000 gross square feet. The clearinghouse record puts the two buildings at 2,160,000 gross square feet, a total that includes the logistics yard, vehicle circulation and ground-floor retail.
The sponsor's project summary itemises the programme: 1,166,800 square feet of flexible PDR space, 20,000 to 35,000 square feet of PDR maker space, 8,400 square feet of street-level retail, 984,800 square feet of PDR support and circulation, and 514,000 square feet of active roof carrying solar.
What the Envelope Adds
Subtract the standing buildings from the enclosed total. The two blocks gain 1,198,000 square feet of enclosed floor area.
Divide each total by the 17.1 acres. The four standing buildings work out to a floor area ratio of 0.60. The two replacement buildings work out to 2.21.
The district gains a second format for PDR tenancy on land that will not grow.
What a Multi-Level Tenant Takes On
Loading is the first constraint. The sponsor's section drawing puts PDR operations and support on levels one, two and three, with the maker and retail space at street level. Freight movement between levels sits inside the 984,800 square feet of support and circulation.
The buildings arrive in two phases, one building each.
Maker Space Sits Inside the Rent Roll
The development agreement requires approximately 20,000 gross square feet of ground-floor maker space. The sponsor's summary ranges that space between 20,000 and 35,000 square feet, beside 8,400 square feet of cafe and retail space.
Where the Campus Sits in the Pipeline
Entitled. Not permitted.
The permit file on the two project parcels holds 25 records on block 5284A lot 008 and 27 on block 5287 lot 002. Every one is an alteration, a sign or a repair. The newest was filed on 23 June 2025 and issued on 7 July 2025. Neither parcel carries a demolition filing or a new construction filing, and no record on either parcel was created in 2026.
No construction document exists on either parcel. The approved programme waits on a permit application.
The Figures a Market Read Still Needs
Prologis publishes no asking rent for the campus, no vacancy rate, no absorption figure, no named tenant and no delivery date. Those are the inputs a tenant or an investor uses to price space.
The record carries supply. The campus adds 1,198,000 square feet of enclosed floor area over what stands on the two blocks today.
What the Streets Give the Buildings
The sponsor's project overview describes more than eight full blocks of new streets, including subgrade infrastructure. The infrastructure plan in the Planning Commission packet sets 10-foot sidewalks on Toland, Rankin and Selby and 12-foot sidewalks on Kirkwood and McKinnon, with new curb ramps and crosswalks at every intersection.
Kirkwood between Toland and Rankin turns one-way eastbound, with reverse-angle parking and two 100-foot commercial loading zones on the south side. McKinnon between Toland and Selby turns one-way eastbound, with reverse-angle parking and a loading zone on the north side. Both changes need SFMTA legislation.
Kirkwood's west end stops about 120 feet short of Toland, blocked by an existing carport and parking lot. A new Toland and Kirkwood intersection depends on future right-of-way work.
A three-storey industrial building depends on kerb space as much as on floor plates. The street package belongs in the market read for that reason.
