Crissy Field is one of America’s most recognizable public spaces. It is also the Presidio’s most visited place. The Presidio Trust is continuing Crissy Field’s renaissance as a great civic gathering space - begun by the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, the National Park Service, and generous supporters - by bringing new life to the area’s historic buildings.

Background
In fall 2004, the Presidio Trust issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking exceptional projects and tenants to rehabilitate and lease up to ten building along the western edge of Crissy Field. Buildings ranging in size from 3,000 to 22,000 square feet. Nine are on the National Register of Historic Places. Proposals are sought for individual buildings or groups of buildings.

Vision and Request for Proposals
The Trust is seeking cultural, educational, and recreational uses, as well as other visitor-serving uses, with the goal of making West Crissy an appealing place for visitors to exercise, have a bite to eat, learn and explore, and connect with the history and beauty of the surroundings.

The RFP states that cultural and educational uses may include museums, artist or craft workshops, education or instructional programs, and special event venues. Recreational uses may include a variety of uses related to sports, health, and fitness. Equestrian activities may be considered at the Cavalry Stables. Other visitor-serving uses, such as retail that is related to cultural, educational, or recreational uses, may also be considered, along with food service such as restaurants and cafés. Small accessory offices required for the operation of preferred uses are permitted, but general office and residential uses are not.

The Trust will welcome proposals until all buildings are successfully leased. If you have questions about the process or would like a copy of the RFP, please contact the Presidio Trust at (415) 561-5335 or leasing@presidiotrust.gov.
