Pier 70 sits in Dogpatch on the central waterfront. Building 12 holds a market hall, 14 tenants and three indoor padel courts. Eleven outdoor courts are under construction on a former parking lot beside the building. The plan below runs on those parts and on one walking leg to the water.
Morning: the courts
Bay Padel opened inside Building 12 in June 2024, per the Port's June 2025 project update. Three indoor courts operate there now. The Chronicle reported on 15 July 2026 that the club is pouring concrete on a former Pier 70 parking lot for seven pickleball courts and four padel courts.
The club's own site carried a launch placeholder on 17 October 2026, with no hours and no booking path. A group needs the court window from the club in writing before the day is sold. Book the courts as one block and hold the rest of the schedule around that block.
Noon: the hall
Fourteen tenants trade inside Building 12. Breadbelly bakes and Standard Deviant brews, and both open seven days a week. The roster also holds Sven Ceramics, custom sneaker designer Studio Duskus, paper artist Zai Divecha, metalsmith Emi Grannis, florist Marbled Mint and motorcycle dealer Scuderia.
The building's leasing brochure puts the ground floor at about 40,000 square feet of retail, events and maker hall, the mezzanine at about 800 square feet of private-event space and the second floor at about 35,000 square feet of maker studios. It labels every figure an approximation and subject to change.
Afternoon: the water
Crane Cove Park sits at the north end of the district. The walk from Building 12 measures 493 m on a straight line between OpenStreetMap coordinates, about 0.31 mi. Put ten minutes on the schedule for a group. Confirm the park's closing time before a late finish.
The park gives the day its open-air leg. The route runs on Maryland and Illinois, and the group re-enters the district on foot.
The way out
Muni's 20th Street station sits 426 m from Building 12 on a straight line and 23rd Street sits 497 m. The 22nd Street Caltrain platform sits 731 m away. SFMTA lists 3rd Street & 20th Street and 3rd Street & 23rd Street as T Third Street stops. The line runs 6 a.m. to midnight on weekdays and 8 a.m. to midnight at weekends, with a bus substitution in the early morning.
The coach gap
The public record carries no coach loading zone, staging area or drop-off plan for Pier 70. The Port's June 2025 project update covers the Phase 1 infrastructure built from 2018 to 2020 and the streets opening to the public in May 2024, and names no coach provision. Building 12's garage holds 140 car spaces and 78 bicycle spaces, per the leasing brochure.
Put the set-down and the pickup in writing with the site contact before the trip. Name the street for the drop and the walking leg that follows it.
What the 2027 build changes
Brookfield Properties' first phase carries 700 homes: a 350-unit apartment building at Lot E2, a 105-unit affordable building and two condominium buildings totalling 245 units. The developer targets a 2027 groundbreaking on the E2 building. It also hopes to start a 300,000-square-foot office building that year if the office market holds.
Construction will surround Building 12 and the outdoor courts. Re-confirm the walking route with the site contact in the week of travel.
What to confirm before the day is sold
Four items stay open. The outdoor courts have no published opening date. The club publishes no hours. No page read for this piece carries the park's closing time. The coach set-down has no published provision.
