The San Francisco Planning Commission’s green light last Thursday for a plan to build a new residential community near Hunters Point Shipyard was a welcome development for S.F. land use attorney Michael Burke. Various proposals have been kicked around for the desolate area between Highway 101 and Candlestick Park — known as Executive Park — since the 1970s. Burke, a partner at SSL Law Firm, helped developer George Yerby get entitlements for the first office building back then. In 2004, Yerby asked Burke for help converting the property into a residential neighborhood. Since then, Burke estimates he’s billed more than a thousand hours on the project. The Recorder asked Burke about the challenges of the Executive Park project and the risks of doing real estate business in the city.
