Imagine a world where abandoned industrial spaces transform into futuristic playgrounds of creativity - welcome to San Francisco’s latest urban fever dream.
Brookfield Properties is turning the once-stalled Pier 70 development into a mind-bending multi-sensory experience that’s part Las Vegas Sphere, part techno-art revolution. The Elevation Sky Park will feature three geodesic domes and a pyramid that screams “we’re not your grandpa’s art gallery” - and honestly, we’re here for it.
From Industrial Wasteland to Immersive Wonderland
The 165,000-square-foot complex isn’t just another tech bro’s vanity project. It’s a collaborative art space that can host nearly 2,000 people, promising concerts, art shows, and experiences that’ll make your Instagram followers seriously jealous. Elevation XR, a local San Francisco company known for creating immersive experiences at Burning Man and beyond, is bringing this vision to life.
A Glimpse into San Francisco’s Creative Renaissance
Mayor Daniel Lurie isn’t shy about his enthusiasm, declaring that “the arts are leading San Francisco’s comeback”. And frankly, after years of tech dominance and pandemic-induced exodus, this city needs exactly this kind of creative rebellion.
The project is set to open in early 2026 and operate for five years - just enough time to remind everyone why San Francisco remains the weirdest, most innovative playground in the tech universe. Stay tuned, art lovers and tech nerds - this is going to be epic.
