City of Hercules, CA - Small City, Big Vision: Putting the Pieces Together

Hercules is a city in western Contra Costa County, California. Situated along the coast of San Pablo Bay, in western Contra Costa County, lies the City of Hercules. Just 30 minutes away from downtown San Francisco, the city of approximately 27,000 residents possesses its own unique story.

One of Hercules’ most significant development projects in the Waterfront Master Plan right now is The Bayfront. The Bayfront is a 42-acre, transit-oriented, mixed-use development. The first phase of development includes 172 units of apartments, lofts, and townhomes, with 14,000 square feet of retail. The Bayfront will create the city’s first downtown because Hercules used to be a company town and we didn’t really have a historic or traditional type of downtown in the past.
