Request for Proposals Announcement Note (PDF)
Ferry Building Area Seawall Lot 351
Seawall Lot 351 (SWL 351) is one of the development opportunities in San Francisco created by removal of the Embarcadero Freeway after the 1989 earthquake. Its current development pattern, a surface parking lot, reflects its location adjacent to the former freeway.

Location
SWL 351 is on the Embarcadero Roadway at the corner of Washington Street just north of the Ferry Building. The 27,937 square foot parcel, which is nearly triangular in shape, has a 358-foot frontage on the Embarcadero Roadway with a mere 26-foot frontage on Washington Street.
History
This site is currently used as a surface parking lot. Historically it was part of the greater Embarcadero Roadway/Beltway Rail line right of ways. It is a "seawall lot" as it was created by fill in the 1850s and buttressed by construction of the "Old Seawall" in 1867. That Seawall was superseded by the "New Seawall" forming the Embarcadero which was completed in 1916.
More recently, the Port has received a proposal from San Francisco Waterfront Partners, a real estate developer with an option to purchase the adjacent 2.2 acre Golden Gateway Swim and Tennis Club Site, to lease SWL 351 and create a combined mixed use project.
As the Port staff reviewed this proposal, it determined that SWL 351, as a prime waterfront site, can be developed independently and recommended to the Port Commission that it is in the best interest of the Port to offer the site for development through a competitive process.
