New illustrations have been published for the massive Amazon logistics facility planned for 900 7th Street in Mission Bay, San Francisco. The rendering shows an imposing four-story warehouse, with landscaping wrapped around to improve the sidewalks. Amazon.com Services LLC is listed as the property owner.

The 68-foot tall structure will yield 817,000 square feet, with 650,000 square feet of protected floor space and a fourth-floor rooftop with accessory parking, greenery, and a conditioned area for solar panels. Parking will be included for 395 vehicles and 56 bicycles. Retail space is being proposed by the corner park, with 2,500 square feet and street frontage along 7th Street.

MG2 is the project architect . . . . Facade materials will include masonry brick, corrugated metal, flat metal panels, curtain-wall glass, and wire mesh. A public park will be created at the corner of Berry and 7th Street.

Langan is the civil engineer, and KPFF is the structural engineer. The construction cost is estimated to be $125 million, while the total development costs could be much more significant . . . .

Amazon purchased 900 7th Street from Recology for $202 million in mid-December 2020. The move quashed previous plans for Recology to develop a 1.2 million square foot mixed-use development. The master plan was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, with two towers overlooking the mid-density infill. The canceled plans would have added between 470 and 550 new apartments to the housing market along with around half a million square feet for offices or life sciences, a public open space, and 200-275,000 square feet for PDR.

Well, I'm no more inspired by it than I am by the typical Walmart in the suburbs. But I use Amazon a lot and having a "logistics facility" in the city will make their same-day delivery a lot more reliable and that's a plus. It's in the best place for it too, near a rail line and freeways and amidst other industrial buildings. So all in all, it's one of those things you need in a city even though they don't excite you.
