Hunters Point Report Drops, 49ers Stadium Still in the Works
Friday, November 13, 2009, by Andy J. Wang


One giant leap forward for Lennar-kind: the Hunters Point/Candlestick redevelopment's draft environmental impact report for Phase II went online yesterday. The project, which encompasses a total of about 790 acres in the southeastern portion of the city, is so huge it's about twice the size of Treasure Island, which incidentally is also supposed to get redeveloped by Lennar. Phase II follows the comparative drop in the bucket of Phase I, in which the 247 condos as first described in April and in another render reveal just a couple weeks ago belong. The impetus behind the massive redevelopment: pumping life back into the southeastern portions of the city (cough: Bayview) via 10,500 homes and an infusion of 24,465 residents with which to jelly-fill those donuts. And still key to this very plan: a 49ers stadium, located in Hunters Point rather than its current Candlestick spot . . . .
