The Board of Supervisors gave San Francisco Gateway its final approval on 2 December 2025, with 11 ayes. Prologis holds a special use district and a 20-year development agreement over 17.1 acres at Toland Street and McKinnon Avenue in Bayview. Two three-storey production, distribution and repair buildings replace four warehouses built in the 1940s. Ten months on, the four warehouses stand.
The approval settled the land use. It did not schedule the work. Each benefit in the agreement attaches to a filing nobody has made.
The Streets Are the Public Gain
Five streets bound the site: Toland Street, Kirkwood Avenue, McKinnon Avenue, Rankin Street and Selby Street. The segments inside the site sit on the public street network and remain unaccepted for city ownership and maintenance. The agreement obliges Prologis to build them to city standard and offer them for acceptance.
The plan lays sidewalks on both sides of all five. Toland, Rankin and Selby get 10-foot walks. Kirkwood and McKinnon get 12-foot walks. Right-of-way widths run 64 feet on Toland, Rankin and Selby and 80 feet on Kirkwood and McKinnon. Kirkwood Avenue between Toland and Rankin becomes one-way eastbound, and McKinnon Avenue between Toland and Selby becomes one-way eastbound. The sponsor counts more than eight full blocks of new street, subgrade infrastructure included.
Selby Street runs beneath the elevated Interstate 280, and its sidewalks widen to 24 feet around the freeway columns. Curb ramps, crosswalks, lighting, signage and pavement markings come with the rebuild.
The Money and Its Triggers
The agreement directs $500,000 twice to the SF Market reinvestment and expansion plan, and $2,000,000 to Public Works as the first of two payments for Market Zone streetscape and infrastructure. It carries $8 million in direct community contributions and $11 million in Market Zone improvements.
The city expects about $16 million in one-time development impact fees and about $7 million a year in net new general fund revenue at buildout. Those figures land at buildout, and buildout waits on construction documents.
The Sponsor's Sequence
Prologis describes its present phase as implementation and targeted market outreach to identify best-fit tenants. The vote came first. The tenant search follows it.
The order carries a business logic. An industrial tenant leases a delivered building. A sponsor that signs a tenant against an unentitled site carries the risk of a failed vote. Prologis carried that risk alone.
What the Vote Delivered
The programme holds 1,646,000 gross square feet of enclosed PDR floor. The sponsor's April 2025 summary breaks that into 1,166,800 square feet of flexible PDR floor, 20,000 to 35,000 square feet of ground-floor maker space, 8,400 square feet of street-level retail, 984,800 square feet of PDR support and circulation, 514,000 square feet of active roof carrying solar, and 543,500 gross square feet of parking and loading.
The state clearinghouse record puts the two buildings at 2,160,000 gross square feet, a total that includes the logistics yard, vehicle circulation and ground-floor retail. Each building reaches 97 feet, or 115 feet with rooftop equipment. The site carries up to 1,125 parking spaces, up to 563 in each building, and 116 bicycle spaces, 100 Class 1 and 16 Class 2. Each building holds 36 loading dock doors at level 1.
Building A sits west of Interstate 280 at 749 Toland Street. Building B sits east at 2000 McKinnon Avenue. One building falls in each phase.
The Entitlement Record, Dated
Environmental review ran under case 2015-012491ENV. The Planning Commission certified the report and approved the project six to zero on 25 September 2025. The Board passed the special use district and the development agreement on first reading on 18 November 2025 with 10 ayes, and finally on 2 December 2025 with 11 ayes. Two notices of determination sit on the file, dated 28 October 2025 and 17 December 2025.
Fifty-Two Permits, None of Them Demolition
The Department of Building Inspection record carries 25 permits on block 5284A, lot 008 and 27 on block 5287, lot 002. The newest record on either parcel is dated 23 June 2025. Every one is an alteration, an addition or a sign.
Neither parcel carries a demolition permit, a site permit or a new-construction permit as of 17 October 2026.
What Would Signal a Start
Four records will show the project moving. A demolition permit on either parcel starts the sequence. A site permit sets the vertical work. A first construction document turns the impact fees into an obligation. A named tenant sets the leasing calendar.
A reader can check all four without a public records request. The permit database answers the first two, the fee record answers the third, and a release answers the fourth.
The Jobs Figure to Hold Them To
The city's figures run to about 795 construction jobs a year and about 1,980 permanent on-site jobs. The sponsor's summary rounds those to 800 and 2,000.
The permanent number rests on tenants the sponsor has not named. The construction number rests on the first construction document. A hotel buyer planning linen, food-service or maintenance capacity against either figure is planning against a filing that does not exist.
What a Supplier Can Bank
Hotel operators buy from PDR floor every week. Linen plants, food-service distributors, maintenance contractors and trade suppliers need floor area within delivery range of the rooms they serve. The site sits 5.1 km from Union Square and 4.5 km from Moscone West in a straight line, measured from geocoded points on 17 October 2026.
Four single-storey buildings holding about 448,000 square feet trade on those two blocks today. The replacement returns 1,166,800 square feet of flexible PDR floor on the same land, a gain of 718,800 square feet across two phases. Treat the gain as a future option. A linen contract signed this month rests on capacity that exists on paper.
The Ledger a Reader Can Keep
The city approved this project. The approval carries a priced benefits package and no construction calendar.
Both facts belong in the same sentence. Prologis won a contested entitlement on a 17.1-acre industrial site, and the package it signed is real. The site has not moved, and none of that package has come due.
The agreement sets no deadline for a start. The permit file will show whether one arrives.
Until then the record stands at one date. The Board of Supervisors approved San Francisco Gateway on 2 December 2025.
