The History
A cooperative venture between San Francisco Heritage and Lennar Corporation — The San Francisco Shipyard, located in the heart of the city, is a masterplan community that incorporates historic preservation with new urban housing, parks, playgrounds, and art walk areas to enjoy the outdoors. Located at Hunter’s Point, the land was originally settled by the Ohlone people over 10,000 years ago. The stories of what is now Hunter’s Point illuminate major historical movements in both San Francisco and California including Spanish colonization, Chinese fishing industries, military activities, and Civil Rights.
