What to know before buying in Hunters Point Shipyard / Candlestick
Hunters Point Shipyard is the redevelopment of the former Navy shipyard and the old Candlestick Park site in southeast San Francisco, marketed as The San Francisco Shipyard and Candlestick. FivePoint is the master developer, and the combined plan allows about 10,672 homes, with about 31% affordable. New homes in Phase 1, on the Hilltop and Hillside areas, are being built and sold now, while most of Phase 2 and Candlestick Point is still in pre-development.
The plan includes about 338 acres of parks and open space along the shoreline, artist studios at the historic shipyard, and new retail at Candlestick. Residents have bay views and are close to Highway 101, the T Third Muni line, and the Bayview neighborhood. India Basin Shoreline Park and Heron's Head Park are nearby for walks along the water.
New homes are available in limited releases, mostly condos and townhome-style units by Lennar. Pricing ranges widely, and some homes are below-market-rate with income rules. Navy cleanup is ongoing on parts of the shipyard, so disclosures matter. A local TurboHome agent can explain those disclosures, compare releases, negotiate with the builder, and stack the TurboHome rebate on builder incentives.

Stack your rebate on top of Hunters Point Shipyard / Candlestick builder incentives
Most buyers walk into a model home and take the builder's deal as offered. The cheapest house in the neighborhood comes from layering three savings.
The builder's incentive
Hunters Point Shipyard / Candlestick builders advertise rate buydowns, closing-cost credits, and design-center allowances. Those stay yours when you buy with TurboHome.
Your TurboHome rebate
Builders pay the buyer's agent commission. We keep a flat fee and credit you the rest at closing, about $13,750 on a $950,000 home.
What we negotiate on top
Lot premiums, upgrade pricing, and discounts on finished spec homes. Builders rarely offer these to buyers who don't ask.

Buying without an agent
no rebate
Buying through the builder's sales office alone returns no commission to you. Builders set their own buyer-agent compensation, so confirm it before you sign.
How we negotiate with Hunters Point Shipyard / Candlestick builders
TurboHome agents work with new-construction buyers all the time. We know where builders have room to move, and the builder's sales rep works for the builder.
Spec homes priced to move
A finished home that sits costs the builder money every month. We look for inventory that has lingered and push for a lower price or a bigger credit.
Lot premiums and upgrades
Premiums for lake, greenbelt, and cul-de-sac lots are often negotiable, and design-center upgrades carry a markup. We ask for both before you sign.
Incentives without lender lock-in
Many incentives require the builder's preferred lender. We have you get an outside quote so you can see what the incentive is really worth.
Timing the ask
Builders work toward quarter-end and section close-out targets. We time offers to the moments a sales office most needs a contract.
Contract review
Builder contracts are written by the builder. We go through deposits, construction delays, and warranty terms with you before you commit.
Independent inspections
New does not mean flawless. We recommend a third-party inspector at pre-pour, pre-drywall, and the final walkthrough.
Builders selling in Hunters Point Shipyard / Candlestick
- Lennar
Builder lineups change as sections open and sell out. Ask us who is selling now and which builders have move-in-ready homes.
Register us before your first model home visit
Many builders only pay a buyer's agent who is with you, or registered, on your first visit to their sales office. Walk into a Hunters Point Shipyard / Candlestick model home alone and the builder can decline to pay agent commission. Without it, there is no TurboHome rebate.
Tell us which builders and models you want to see. We register you first, so every incentive and your rebate stay on the table.
