Project highlights
The Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island Development Project is creating a new San Francisco neighborhood, including homes offered at below-market rates, multiple public transportation connections, extensive parks and open space, public art, hotels, restaurants and more.
Housing and urban design
The Islands are growing into a community of up to 8,000 homes, including homes at below-market rates and approximately 27% affordable housing in total.
The project’s design grows out of Treasure and Yerba Buena Islands’ remarkable natural setting and rich history. It is oriented around a progressive design philosophy reflecting San Francisco’s commitment to sustainability

Transportation
The Islands' transportation network design prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists and encourages sustainable transit-oriented choices as part of everyday life.
Public transportation options, including ferry, will continue to expand, and innovative policies implemented to maximize transit use including household transit passes, ramp metering and tolling.
The Project celebrated the official launch of Treasure Island ferry service on March 1, 2022.
Parks, open spaces and natural areas
Key to the project is an exceptional park system with a diverse array of urban public spaces both integrated with new neighborhood development and coexisting with existing natural areas.
The Project celebrated the opening of the first park in the new TI/YBI Parks System, The Rocks Dog Park, in November 2023.
Public art
The Treasure Island Arts Master Plan is funded by 1% of the construction costs of the island’s redevelopment. It is used exclusively to enhance and activate the public realm with artworks and art programming on both Treasure and Yerba Buena Islands.
The San Francisco Arts Commission leads the Arts Master Plan process.
Implementing equitable development
In 2024 TIDA launched a new Equity program focused on fostering an inclusive and equitable community on Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island. The effort is in support of and partnership with One Treasure Island. Together and with on-island our community, we will advance sustainable mobility solutions, near-term activations, and community engagement. Our goal is to define and deliver a welcoming, healthy, inclusive, and vibrant island community. This is the promise of the shared aspirational statement of TIDA, One TI and our private partner, TICD in honor of the diversity of its past, present, and future residents, businesses, and visitors.
