With duplicates in various states of development already underway in Napa, Oakland and elsewhere, the latest locale to embrace the Ferry Building model is ... Treasure Island?: "In updated plans, the ferry terminal has been moved to the front of the U-shaped Building 1 — a four-story building at the entry to the island which has wide staircases, a marble-clad hallway, high ceilings topped by a dome and 150,000 square feet of space ... Under 'current thinking,' the building would be filled with shops and restaurants." If this restaurant development proves successful, in no way are we looking forward to the deluge of "treasure" puns sure to follow. [SFE via Curbed SF]
