Why Mission Bay is recovering faster than anywhere else in SF
The positive momentum has had a knock-on effect on the previously sluggish retail leasing market, broker Alex Sagues of CBRE said. Since taking over Mission Bay’s listings during the pandemic, his team has brought in a bevy of well-known San Francisco brands, including Che Fico, Burma Love, and Harmonic Brewing.
Señor Sisig, Fikscue Craft BBQ, Splash Sports Bar, and Taco Primo (a new concept from the owners of The Snug) will join them, rounding out the offerings at Thrive City ahead of next month’s NBA All-Star weekend.
“There’s just not any other neighborhood in the city with this kind of mix of live, work, play,” Sagues said, adding that two national restaurant brands just signed leases at Mission Rock, which already has Flour + Water Pizzeria and Arsicault Bakery.
Part of what has turned Mission Bay into a destination has been the construction of two of San Francisco’s newest public parks. The five-acre China Basin Park that’s part of Mission Rock and the 5.5-acre Bayfront Park opened last year, financed by a mix of public dollars and philanthropy.
