Chase Center

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The NBA’s Golden State Warriors are privately financing the design and construction of a new 18,000-seat arena named the Chase Center. Situated on an 11-acre site in San Francisco’s Mission Bay, the multi-purpose sports and entertainment venue is planned within an ancillary development of approximately 700,000 square feet of office and retail projects, over three acres of public plazas and nearly 1,000 parking spaces. In addition to professional basketball, the arena will host top-name musical acts, conventions, awards shows, major cultural events and other sporting events. The main plaza for the complex will also facilitate a variety of activities for visitors and neighbors year-round including outdoor ice skating, exhibition games, farmer’s markets and art fairs. Centrally located and near a myriad of transportation options, the Chase Center will be a spectacular new home for the championship basketball team, serving fans from across the Bay Area.
