The 5M development of Brookfield Properties is a 4-acre, privately funded arts and community-oriented, mixed-use district bounded by Mission, Fifth, and Howard Streets in San Francisco. The development plan transitioned underutilized parking lots, alleyways, and an existing office building to a pedestrian focused experience. The site includes new public open spaces, mixed-income housing, offices, retail, and restored historic buildings, as well as support programming for arts, culture, and community youth.

In 2020, BRV created a dynamic activation and programming plans that will serve 5M tenants and residents, the neighboring SoMa community, and the City. The goal is a highly versatile, active urban open space, and BRV’s programming plan intends to showcase its rich cultural and community offerings through collaborations with local organizations. 5M’s retail, arts, and innovation partners will be a backbone of the programming partnerships for the outdoor space.
