In half a year, a cluster of geodesic domes might be San Francisco’s hottest new nightlife destination. 

By early 2026, a new entertainment complex called Elevation Sky Park is slated to open on Pier 70. Located in Dogpatch, it will consist of a pyramid and three geodesic domes, ranging in size from 2,000 square feet to 6,340 square feet.

Elevation XR, a company that deals in immersive experiences, originally wanted to bring the domes to Pier 70 in 2017, but setting up shop in San Francisco was too expensive. So they popped up in Los Angeles instead, setting up Wisdome in 2018. That complex hosted a SZA concert, fashion shows and a Steve Aoki NFT event. The company has brought its domes to Coachella, as well.

Now, with development plans on the pier delayed, the timing is right for the domes to at last come to SF, said Sean Ahearn, the company’s founder and CEO, who lived in San Francisco for two decades. Elevation Sky Park will call Pier 70 home for up to five years, and will cost an estimated $7 million to build.
