Piers 27-31 Now Seen as Cruise Ship Terminal

SAN FRANCISCO-The Port and Shorenstein Properties LLC are reworking their plans for the aging piers at the foot of Telegraph Hill into the city's primary cruise ship terminal.

SAN FRANCISCO-Shorenstein Properties is reworking its plan for the aging piers at the foot of Telegraph Hill, potentially removing some of the planned office space in order to accommodate a relocation of the city’s main cruise ship terminal there from Pier 35. The hope is that the revised plan will meet with less objection from the State Lands Commission, which is charged with enforcing laws that prefer waterfront land benefit the general public and be used primarily for maritime-related projects.

The Port of San Francisco, which owns the land, has given Shorenstein and its partner, Farallon Capital Management LLC, until Aug. 31 to submit a revised plan for Piers 27-31. The original plan, for 440,000-sf of office and a public recreation center was pulled off the table shortly before an expected vote in January after concerns were expressed by State Lands Commission executive director Paul Thayer and environmental groups.

The revised plan is likely to result in at least some of the office space in the original plan because Pier 27, where the terminal would be located, was slated to hold one-third of the office space. “It’s too soon for us to know exactly what the plan will look like,” Todd Sklar, head of Shorenstein’s development group, tells GlobeSt.com. “We are looking at a number of different options right now.”
