D O W N T O W N Foster City
Foster City, CA

Downtown Foster City is a mixed-use development on 15 acres situated between the North Penisula Jewish Campus and Foster City’s civic center and library. The vision for this site builds on its key location within Foster City and the wide range of adjacent civic amenities. The vibrant mixed-use neighborhood creates pedestrian activity and attracts a variety of people to its amenities in a city without the built infrastructure of a traditional downtown. The development proposal includes a town square, three- day-a-week farmers market, a 14-screen cinema, a small high school, 80,000 square feet of retail, and 355 units of senior housing. The town square becomes the new cultural and community center of Foster City, providing a place for residents of all ages.
