Army Corps Publishes $17.8B Waterfront Flood Defense Plan; Port Advances $115M Design Contracts and Federal Advocacy
After eight years of study, the Army Corps published a recommended plan for coastal flood defenses estimating $17.8B in costs over 30 years, with the Port now seeking congressional authorization and design funding.
Why it matters: The study documents up to $23B in damages under no-action — including loss of 6% of the city's developed landmass by century's end and risk to the BART/Muni underground by mid-century — making this the largest infrastructure challenge facing San Francisco.

Port Proposes Major Pier 70 Restructuring: Affordable Housing Rate Cut to 20%, $50M Developer Write-Off, 600 New Homes Added
Staff proposed restructuring the Pier 70 DDA to cut affordable housing from 30% to no less than 20%, write off $50M in developer returns, add 600+ units, and set firm vertical development deadlines.
Why it matters: The only vertical project completed at the 2,000-unit Pier 70 site since 2018 is Building 12; Brookfield's costs have grown past $400M while the project has been in pandemic-related delay since 2021, making restructuring essential to restart development.

Why it matters: Mission Rock Phase 1 delivered 537 rental units including 133 below-market-rate during the pandemic; Phase 2 repositioning funded by Harbor Fund investments will expand this transformative neighborhood.
