Moscone Project in Motion
Construction is well underway
on the massive Moscone
Expansion Project, a $500
million undertaking that
will keep San Francisco at
the forefront of the nation’s
convention trade.
The expansion project,
managed by Public Works,
will add more than 305,000
square feet of functional area,
including new exhibition
space, meeting rooms and a
large-capacity kitchen to the
Moscone convention complex.
And when completed, Moscone
will be better integrated with
the surrounding Yerba Buena
neighborhood in the South of
Market through streetscape
changes designed to beautify
the area and improve the
pedestrian experience.
A video shot earlier this month
captured steel trusses coming
down at Moscone South – a
high-precision operation that
is part of the demolition work.
The project began in 2015 and
is scheduled for completion in
late 2018.
