San Francisco has entered two City-owned sites in the fourth edition of C40 Cities Reinventing Cities Competition, a global design and development competition to transform underutilized urban sites into innovative, zero-carbon and resilient developments. The competition invites teams of architects, designers, and developers to submit proposals for sustainable development projects that meet specific site needs, with the winning team invited to negotiate with the City for development rights. Learn more about the competition, past C40 projects in San Francisco, and the City’s vision for how the two sites – 1 South Van Ness Avenue and 170 Otis Street – can play a role in meeting downtown economic recovery, housing, development, and sustainability goals.
