Downtown Foster City creates a new center for the city, a gathering place for both city residents and visitors. A combination of residential and commercial uses has been carefully assembled to enliven the streets both day and night, anchored by a multi-screen movie theater, restaurants, shops, and housing for older adults. A town square at the heart of the site will create a signature sense of place within the city with a town green, interactive water feature and a farmers market.
