1475 Yosemite Ave
4,000 SF for lease in San Francisco, CA.
In-city San Francisco industrial space in 4,000 SF increments almost never reaches the open market. Most Bayview buildings lease in 10,000+ SF blocks or are owner-occupied for decades — this listing gives smaller users, makers, and service operators a genuine entry point into the city's core industrial district.
The space is offered alongside an adjoining unit at 1450 Armstrong Ave, giving a tenant the ability to lease up to roughly 8,000 SF combined. A growing business can secure a foothold now and expand in place rather than re-locating later.
Sitting within San Francisco's Production, Distribution & Repair (PDR) district, the property supports light industrial, warehouse/distribution, contractor, and maker uses without the entitlement friction found in converted or mixed-use buildings elsewhere in the city.
Yosemite Ave sits minutes from both US-101 and I-280, with the Third Street light rail line running through the neighborhood — giving tenants fast truck access to regional distribution routes and a transit option for employees commuting without a car.

Bayview — San Francisco's Working Industrial District
1475 Yosemite Ave sits in the heart of the Bayview-Hunters Point industrial district, the largest concentration of PDR-zoned (Production, Distribution & Repair) land remaining in San Francisco. The corridor along Yosemite, Jerrold, and Armstrong Avenues has functioned as the city's working backbone for decades — auto shops, contractors, distributors, and light manufacturers operating in a part of town still zoned to support them, unlike much of the rest of the city where industrial land has steadily converted to office or residential use.
The location offers direct access to US-101 and I-280, putting tenants within easy reach of the Peninsula, East Bay via the Bay Bridge, and San Francisco's core in minutes. The Third Street light rail (T Line) runs through the neighborhood, and the area sits close to the redeveloping Hunters Point Shipyard and India Basin waterfront — a long-industrial part of the city that is slowly seeing new public investment alongside its working uses.
India Basin Waterfront Park Opens Nearby as Bayview Sees New Public Investment
In March 2026, the first completed section of India Basin Waterfront Park — the 900 Innes site — opened to the public just east of the Yosemite Ave industrial corridor, part of a roughly $200 million effort to restore public bay access to Bayview-Hunters Point. The site adds two public piers, a floating dock, Bay Trail connections, and community program space, with the remaining phases of the 10-acre park (including a boathouse and renovated recreational facilities) continuing through early 2028. For a neighborhood historically defined by industrial and shipyard use, it's a visible signal of new public and philanthropic investment landing in Bayview alongside its working industrial base.
On the leasing side, citywide industrial fundamentals remain a story of scarcity for well-located, functional space. Matthews' Q2 2026 San Francisco Industrial Market Report notes landlords "continue to benefit from the scarcity of modern industrial product in prime infill locations," with the market absorbing 693,000 SF in the quarter even as construction stayed limited to 1.3 million SF underway and zero new deliveries. Smaller users looking for space under 5,000 SF face the tightest end of that market, as most available product citywide leases in far larger blocks.

How we'd position this listing
Small-footprint industrial space inside San Francisco city limits is structurally scarce — most PDR buildings were built and leased in larger increments, and the city has approved little new industrial construction in decades. A clean 4,000 SF block on a PDR-zoned street like Yosemite Ave, with expansion room next door, is the kind of listing that typically moves fast once local operators become aware of it.
Bayview's fundamentals — protected PDR zoning, direct 101/280 access, and now visible public investment through projects like India Basin Waterfront Park — make it one of the more durable industrial locations left in the city. We'd advise any tenant serious about an in-city footprint to move on evaluating this space before it's absorbed.
