Two new developments, Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island, are redefining luxury housing in San Francisco, a city known for its limited space and challenging project approvals.

Located just a mile from downtown, these neighboring islands represent the largest new development sites in the city, spanning 500 acres. The project will feature 8,000 homes, with 1,000 hitting the market this year.

“These developments offer a unique lifestyle with nature, waterfront views, and luxury amenities all in one location,” says Krysen Heathwood of Compass Development Marketing Group.

Yerba Buena Island, nearly 50% complete, has applied for LEED Platinum certification. It boasts 72 acres of open space, original Coast Guard houses, and the operational Yerba Buena Lighthouse. The social hub, Island Club, will offer a 10,000-square-foot venue with weekly events, an outdoor lounge, pool, fitness center, sauna, library lounge, private dining, and guest accommodations.

Treasure Island's development is underway, with the first phase expected to complete by the end of this year and the rest over the next decade. According to Chris Meany, managing partner at Wilson Meany, these projects will deliver the majority of new housing in San Francisco in the coming years.

Accessible via ferry or the Bay Bridge, Yerba Buena Island offers three types of residences, sold in phases, promising a blend of indoor-outdoor luxury living.
