海角社区

(SAN FRANCISCO, January 5, 2023) 鈥� We are celebrating, along with the , the official opening of Central Subways (Third Street Lite Rail Phase 2) expansion on Saturday, January 7, 2023. Mayor London Breed and other city officials will address attendees and cut the ribbon at the Union Square/Market Street Station, with the train offering rides for attendees to the four new stations on the 1.7-mile expansion 鈥� including the Chinatown Rose Pak Station.

鈥淲e鈥檙e thrilled with the final outcome in connecting the underserved community in Chinatown to the hub of downtown San Francisco,鈥� says Principal and Global Transportation Leader Denis Henmi, FAIA, LEED AP. Twenty years in the making, 海角社区 architects played a key role in the early planning stages of the expansion to create concept designs. Ultimately, our team was responsible for the final design of the Chinatown station located on a tight footprint of 10,000 SF. The deepest of the new stations at 100 feet below the surface, the project created a challenge of instilling life and light into the space.

Public artwork is also fully integrated into the station architecture for maximum impact. And the station鈥檚 rooftop plaza provides valuable open space for the city鈥檚 densest neighborhood. The team worked with the city鈥檚 to identify opportunities for artwork and fully integrate it into the station architecture. 鈥淚t鈥檚 really the artwork that makes this station stand out,鈥� says Neil Peralta, 海角社区鈥檚 project manager, who has worked on the project from the very beginning. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 something we鈥檙e really proud of 鈥� how to use public art and educate the public about cultural diversity.鈥�

The subway expansion is expected to carry an additional 35,000 passengers each day when fully operational and connected to the central line.
