The fence line runs along 16th Street
La Maravilla covers 1.3 acres at 1979 Mission Street. The general contractor's message of December 2025 names the first building site as 2970 16th Street, at the corner of 16th Street and Capp Street. Mission Housing places the development at the northwest corner of 16th and Mission Streets.
The block carries fence panels and air monitoring devices. The contractor records site hours of 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., security cameras on site around the clock and one guard on weekdays.
Two plazas, one step-free route
The station sits at 2000 Mission Street. BART publishes two lifts between the street and the trains. The street elevator stands on the northeast side of 16th Street and Mission Street and reaches the concourse. A second elevator inside the paid area reaches the platform.
A group carrying a wheelchair user boards at the northeast plaza. That plaza holds the street elevator.
The art stands on the concourse wall
William Mitchell cast the concrete sculptures on the concourse wall at the base of the stairs. BART's station plan of 2004 records the same artist's work at the 24th Street Mission and Richmond stations.
The early-2000s rebuild of the southwest plaza added two pieces. Victor Mario Zaballa made Plaza del Colibri, the metal railings worked with hummingbirds. Daniel Galvez and Jos Sances made Future Roads, a tile mural over the stairway.
Walk the art leg through the southwest plaza, then cross to the northeast plaza for the elevator. The two stops sit on opposite sides of the intersection.
Service detail that changes a stop
The southwest plaza holds a BayWheels station. BART provides 20 free Bikeep smart racks at the station and no lockers.
The station has no parking lot, and Glen Park is the nearest station with parking. The station has no restrooms, and free attended Pit Stop bathrooms stand at street level.
Four BART routes call at 16th Street Mission: Dublin/Pleasanton to Daly City, Antioch to SFIA and Millbrae, Berryessa/North San Jose to Daly City, and Richmond to Millbrae and SFIA.
Valencia carries the walking leg
Valencia Street runs one block from the parcel. Its dining and performance venues sit off the 16th Street frontage.
Keep the group's walking leg on Valencia Street, and use 16th Street for the station approach.
Dates for an itinerary
The general contractor publishes the phase one schedule. Cleaning out of the existing buildings ran from 22 December 2025 to 5 January 2026. Environmental abatement ran from 5 January 2026 to 5 February 2026. Demolition of the restaurant and market at Capp Street and 16th Street ran from 6 February to 27 February 2026. Construction runs from 2 March 2026 to 6 December 2027. Leasing and occupancy begin on 7 March 2027.
The co-developers' FAQ gives the second phase a July 2027 start in its prose and a July 2028 start in its schedule table. YIMBY's report on the November 2025 filing puts construction on the next parcel as early as July 2027.
MOHCD dates completion of the first building to late 2027 and full occupancy to mid-2028. A 2026 itinerary works around an active site.
No detour map is published
The contractor's schedule page and the co-developers' FAQ carry no sidewalk closure notice, no pedestrian detour map and no coach staging point for the 16th Street frontage.
Ask Mission Housing, MEDA and the Cahill and Guzman joint venture for the construction management plan. Ask where a coach sets down and where it waits.
Hold the plan before drawing a detour onto a route sheet.
