The anticipated reveal of the Moscone Center Expansion and Improvement Project is on schedule and on budget. The project strives to keep the industry competitive, create thousands of new jobs and add green and pedestrian-friendly elements with the 21st century urban design.
“The Moscone Center generates more than 20 percent of San Francisco’s $9.38 billion visitor tourism economy, accounting for more than $1.98 billion in visitor spending every year, ” said Joe D’Alessandro, president and CEO of the San Francisco Travel Association. “As the city and the convention landscape continue to grow, Moscone Center must expand to meet future needs. Without this expansion, $2 billion in economic activity will be lost between now and 2020.”
The $500 million project has gone through more than a year of community outreach and review, with design revisions informed by those conversations. The project will create more than 500,000 square feet of contiguous exhibition space, improving pedestrian traffic and their connection to the neighborhood.
