Sierra Point (Brisbane)

Sierra Point encompasses an area of 132 acres (53 ha), reclaimed from San Francisco Bay by landfill behind dikes.

[4] The entire site was purchased by Sierra Point Development Company (SPDC) from Sunset Scavenger in 1975.

[5]: 4  SPDC donated approximately 20 acres (8.1 ha) for a municipal marina to the City of Brisbane in 1980,[4] in partial exchange for development rights to the site.

[4] By 1996, 70 acres (28 ha) of the landfill site had been capped with a minimum of 3 feet (0.91 m) of clean soil and 1 foot (0.30 m) of compacted clay.

[7] There are buildings at 4000, 5000, 6000, and 7000 Shoreline Court ( 12 – 15 ) in the southern portion of Sierra Point which lies within the City of South San Francisco.

[6] The Sierra Point Yacht Club was established in 1984 to support boaters and boating activities at Brisbane Marina; initial meetings were held at local restaurants, and the first Club building was a maintenance building rented from the City of Brisbane starting from 1988.

[9]: 5–6  An addendum was adopted in 2017 to further extend the development rights to 2027 in exchange for reverting control of Parcel R to the City of Brisbane.

[10] In 2018, the site was transferred to Phase 3 Real Estate Partners, who have proposed a biotech campus tentatively named Genesis Marina with approximately the same area in three buildings.

The undeveloped parcel in the northeast corner of Sierra Point is designated for a luxury/convention hotel and occupies 6.126 acres (2.479 ha).

It is owned by the City of Brisbane, but was leased in 1984 to a private developer to build up to 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) of commercial space.

The southbound exit from 101 leads to the northernmost end of Sierra Point Parkway, where it intersects with Lagoon Road.

Although the Caltrain Bayshore Cutoff line runs along the west side of Sierra Point, there are no stops.
