Mission Bay is a 303-acre (123 ha) neighborhood on the east side of San Francisco, California. It is bordered by China Basin to the north, Dogpatch to the south, and San Francisco Bay to the east. Originally an industrial district built on reclaimed land, it was transformed beginning in the late 1990s through the creation of the UCSF Mission Bay campus and large-scale mixed-use development. Mission Bay is now a major center for biotechnology, research, sports, and corporate offices, home to the Chase Center arena, Uber Technologies’ global headquarters, Visa Inc.’s headquarters at the Mission Rock development, and OpenAI’s offices. The neighborhood also features new waterfront parks including China Basin Park and Bayfront Park, along with a growing residential community of condominiums and apartments.
