SAN FRANCISCO—Treasure and Yerba Buena Islands, often referred to collectively as former Naval Station Treasure Island or Treasure Island, are home to approximately 1,800 residents as well as small businesses, restaurants, a grocery store, schools, a boat marina, athletic fields, a special event/film/photo production facility and sporting clubs. But now, a milestone two decades in the making is set to change the landscape of the naturally formed island.

Vertical construction has begun on the first new residences on Yerba Buena Island, according to boutique developer Wilson Meany and real estate investment firm Stockbridge Capital Group. The development represents the creation of 266 residences, part of an approximately $1.5 billion residential and commercial development on the island as a whole.

City supervisors approved plans for the former Navy base and adjoining Yerba Buena Island in 2011. The master project, encompassing both Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island, is scheduled to take 15 to 20 years and includes up to 8,000 homes, 25% classified as below-market affordable housing, along with commercial buildings, a ferry terminal, and 300 acres of parks, playgrounds and open space.
