The Piers

Rewriting San Francisco’s maritime history

 

Following a four-year design and entitlement process, and a three-year construction period, the historically condemned Piers 1 ½, 3 and 5 along San Francisco’s Embarcadero revived and recast the city’s rich maritime history through the lens of leisure, culinary and artistic pursuits. During her tenure as a Partner at Pacific Waterfront Partners, Alicia was drawn to the opportunity to reinvigorate the waterfront’s iconic past for a new generation of locals and visitors alike. She partnered with CalSTRS and shepherded the goals and visions of 21 different agencies involved in the $60 million renovation of the Piers to arrive at the singular common plan to marry cutting-edge sustainable design with the sites’ distinctive early 20th century architecture. With that in mind, Alicia thoughtfully curated a mix of tenants that valued both the uniqueness of spaces from of a bygone era and the details of modern design. To date, these tenants include Bloomberg, world-class restaurants La Mar, Coqueta and Hard Water, and numerous private companies. Combined with a sprawling public promenade, dock and water taxi landing, they are the vibrant heart of the transformed Piers.

“I have long been impressed with Alicia’s ability to blend avant guard creativity with business acumen. Her end-to-end work on The Piers project epitomizes Alicia’s instinct for out-of-the box vision, coupled with tenacious implementation and skilled operational management which brought the acclaimed La Mar Cebicheria, The Plant, Coquette and Bloomberg to San Francisco and turned a derelict water ferry waiting room and storage facility into one of the most visited locales in the Bay Area. Alicia is a skilled and collaborative professional and I thoroughly enjoy working with her.”
— Monique Moyer, Former Executive Director for Port of SF
