The 20-acre Caltrain railyards at the junction of Mission Bay and the South of Market could become San Francisco’s second-densest transit-oriented development hub, with a new train station and a cluster of high-rises anchored by an 850-foot tower, according to preliminary plans being developed by the property owner and no fewer than eight public agencies.

More than a decade after the late Mayor Ed Lee floated the idea, property owner Prologis is preparing to submit an application this spring for one of San Francisco’s most complicated development projects, part of a $8.25 billion downtown rail extension now called the Portal.

...

The site — bordered by Fourth, King, Seventh and Townsend streets — is currently Caltrain’s northern terminus, as well as an active maintenance yard. Prologis, a global real estate investment trust that specializes in industrial property, owns the underlying land, and Caltrain holds a perpetual easement to operate rail on the site.
