The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) would build a nearly 300,000-square-foot research and outpatient cancer treatment center on part of the site of the former Potrero Power Station under a plan approved by San Francisco supervisors. The San Francisco Business Times reported that the project would effectively anchor Associate Capital’s 21-acre Dogpatch neighborhood development.

The 130-foot-tall, 284,444-square-foot building would sit on block 2 of the 21-acre site, where Associate Capital plans to a phased delivery of up to 2,600 housing units, 1.6 million square feet of commercial space, parks and a 250-key hotel.

Redevelopment of the broader Potrero Power Station site, marked by a 300-foot-tall boiler stack and the power station’s proposed conversion into a boutique hotel, has been a priority of city officials for years, reported the Business Times. The site had been used to generate electrical power since the late 19th century. It was the last operating fossil fuel power plant in San Francisco, operated by PG&E, before closing in 2011.

The land is just south of the Chase Center and Pier 70, another redevelopment priority for the city and developer Brookfield Properties.
