Chosen from a field of 13 inspiring concept submissions, these teams represent a wide range of creative visions—from live music and radio broadcasting to immersive theater and civic literacy initiatives. What unites them is a shared commitment to honoring the countercultural legacy of the site and offering robust public programming that will serve the neighborhood and visitors alike.

“This is the most famous intersection in the world,” said SF Heritage President & CEO Woody LaBounty. “We’re excited to see proposals that build on that legacy in ways that inspire and bring people together for decades to come.”

Historic preservation expert Brent Glass, former Director of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, emphasized the national relevance of the project:

“From the start, we envisioned this as a national model for adaptive reuse. The teams selected reflect a deep understanding of both the cultural importance of this place and the need for inclusive, community-centered design.”

The Request for Proposals was officially launched on February 6, 2026, with proposals due in June 2026. All participating teams presented their projects at the public forum on Wednesday, April 29th, 2026 at the Park Branch Library in San Francisco, and will submit their final proposals in June. SF Heritage will announce the results and next steps in the Summer of 2026.
