creating a roadmap for the future of retail at fisherman's wharf

The Retail Strategy

In 2018 the FWCBD commissioned an in-depth Retail Strategy report for Fisherman’s Wharf. The process of creating the document was a year-long collaborative effort between the FWCBD, Seifel Consulting, and the Retail Strategy Task Force (which included 15 property and business owners from the area). The project was partially funded by a grant from the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Work Force Development.

The strategy contains recommendations over a 5 year period and is a renewed effort to strengthen the district’s commercial mix and create new interest in the area from both local residents and visitors. The comprehensive document focuses on business, entertainment, appearance, safety, marketing, and the public realm. It also outlines how to maintain the momentum of the Wharf renaissance while simultaneously preserving the area’s unique historical ties and improving the iconic district, the only commercial retail street on the waterfront in San Francisco.

Retail Opportunities & C2 Commercial Zoning

With the exception of downtown San Francisco, the Wharf is the city’s most dynamic commercial center, with over 250 retail establishments, 3,200 hotel rooms, and 20 exciting attractions, all within a compact thirty-block neighborhood. Fisherman’s Wharf is zoned C2 Commercial and has some of the least restrictive land-use requirements in San Francisco. Furthermore, the controls for formula retail that apply to most 
San Francisco retailers do not extend to the Wharf, making it a welcoming location for national and international chains. 

We envision San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf to be a vibrant world-class destination that celebrates its unique history and historical importance while offering an unparalleled retail, dining, and entertainment experience that showcases the natural beauty of the waterfront.
