About
Pier 70 is located in the City’s Central Waterfront at the foot of Potrero Hill and the Dogpatch neighborhood. Deeply rooted in industry, Pier 70 is listed as the Union Iron Works Historic District on the National Register due to its more than 150 years of continuous operations in shipbuilding and repair, the role it has played in the industrialization of the Western United States, two world wars as well as architectural and engineering feats. Today, Pier 70 is in the midst of a revitalization that is unique and innovative and is guided by the idea that successful places are a combination of the physical spaces as well as the community, culture, and activities that inhabit and enliven them.
