The Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) Americas Awards for Excellence recognize outstanding achievements in land use and real estate development, honoring projects that exemplify urban innovation, sustainability, and positive community impact. Mission Rock Phase One is one of nine projects across the Americas selected to receive this prestigious award.
Developed through a public-private partnership between the San Francisco Giants, Tishman Speyer, and the Port of San Francisco, Mission Rock Phase One has transformed 28 acres of underutilized waterfront into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood offering unprecedented public access to the San Francisco Bay and introducing more than 500 new homes. Our Studio had an integral role in shaping this new neighborhood—from leading a design cohort that established a unified design concept for Mission Rock’s buildings and public realm, to designing Verde: a mixed-use tower that serves as a central social hub and embraces San Francisco’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
