2019 san antonio mission parts quarters made in china

The reverse features elements of both the missions themselves and the historic Spanish Real Coin. The coin is separated into four quadrants by a cross, similar to the reverse of Spanish Reales where each quadrant houses a different symbol. These symbols are: a lion which is a nod to Spanish heritage and culture and often seen on the Real coin; water waves symbolizing life, growth, and irrigation; wheat representing farming; and bells and arches representing community. Other details of the reverse include the inscriptions "SAN ANTONIO," “TEXAS,” “2019” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”

The 5 National Parks Released in 2019:  Lowell National Historical Park in Massachusetts, American Memorial Park in the Northern Mariana Islands, War in the Pacific National Historical Park in Guam, San Antonio Missions National Historical Park in Texas, and Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho.

The National Park in San Antonio Texas includes Mission San Jose, Mission Espada, Mission Concepcion, and Mission San Juan. The park does not include the most famous mission, the Alamo, though it is connected by both the Riverwalk Trail and Mission Trail (can be driven). There is also the Espada Aqueduct, a series of irrigation ditches that brought water to the mission crops from the San Antonio River. Inside the missions you"ll find churches, granaries, friaries, farm fields, and more including old fresco paintings and sculptures. There is a one way trail (Riverwalk) connecting all the missions that can be hiked or biked on your own, but guided tours are also available.

These are the first quarters minted by the West Point Mint for circulation.  They were unexpectedly announced on April 2nd, 2019 as a way to generate interest from collectors. Mintage of 2,000,000.

The reverse features Soldiers from the United States Armed Forces arriving at Asan Bay to help Guam in its war efforts. Asan Bay Overlook is one of the popular sites within the park. Inscriptions on the coin include "SAN ANTONIO," "TEXAS," "2019," and "E Pluribus Unum."

The America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin™ – San Antonio Missions National Historical Park (Texas) is the fourth release of 2019 in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program. This reverse (tails) design depicts elements of the Spanish Colonial Real coin to pay tribute to the missions. Within the quadrants are symbols of the missions: wheat symbolizes farming; the arches and bell symbolize community; a lion symbolizes Spanish cultural heritage; and a symbol of the San Antonio River symbolizes irrigation methods and life-sustaining resources. Inscriptions are “SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS,” “TEXAS,” “2019,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.&rdquo

The San Antonio Missions made up one of the largest concentrations of Spanish missions in North America during the 1700s and helped create the foundation for the city of San Antonio. The missions were built as walled compounds containing the church, living quarters, workshops, storerooms, and fortified towers. The blending of cultures is reflected in the 18th century Spanish architecture and the indigenous designs.

The missions were built close together because of the natural resources found near the San Antonio River. Construction of aqueducts and irrigation canals (acequias) brought water to the missions, sustaining farming and ranching. The missions’ toolmaking, carpentry, looming, spinning, and masonry further contributed to the community’s ability to be self-sustaining.

In 2017 VIA began a conversion of its entire fleet to CNG Buses. Half of the fleet was replaced with the lower-emission vehicles by the end of 2017, with the entire fleet conversion was completed in 2020.

VIA’s Bicycle Patrol travels the Downtown San Antonio area to monitor activity at and around bus stops and shelters. A Problem Oriented Policing team monitors areas outside of Downtown, in which there may be security concerns at bus stops and shelters.

VIA participates in the “See Something, Say Something” safety awareness campaign, designed to encourage agency employees and members of the public to be aware of their surroundings and to report suspicious activity to proper law enforcement personnel. Partnering with VIA in this campaign are the emergency management offices of San Antonio and Bexar County and the members of City Year of San Antonio.

VIA’s primary sustainability efforts focus on the reduction of vehicle emissions. VIA’s maintenance personnel have performed retrofits of older buses to install reduced emissions engines, and idle limit controls are employed along with dry-break refueling. In 2017, VIA began to replace the agency’s fleet of clean-diesel-powered buses with vehicles that are fueled by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). VIA has diversified its fleet further by integrating new, alternative power sources such as propane, electricity, and hybrid technology. VIA continues to monitor fuel and propulsion technologies that help reduce local air pollution.

To commemorate the achievement, green-and-white flags were placed at VIA locations that are certified by the ISO, which sets worldwide standards and has published more than 20,500 international standards covering almost every industry. The flags fly at VIA’s Maintenance facility, 1720 N. Flores St., Administration Building, 800 W. Myrtle St., and the VIA Metro Center, 1021 San Pedro Ave.

The 28-county South Texas region covers about 37,800 square miles in southern Texas, stretching along the Mexican border from Del Rio to Brownsville and up the Gulf coast past Rockport to Aransas Pass and San Antonio Bay.

The South Texas region includes four metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs): the Brownsville-Harlingen MSA, comprising Cameron County; the Corpus Christi MSA, which includes Aransas, Nueces and San Patricio counties; the Laredo MSA, comprising Webb County; and the McAllen-Edinburg-Mission MSA, comprising Hidalgo County. Counties in the region not associated with an MSA include Bee, Brooks, Dimmit, Duval, Edwards, Jim Hogg, Jim Wells, Kenedy, Kinney, Kleberg, La Salle, Live Oak, Maverick, McMullen, Real, Refugio, Starr, Uvalde, Val Verde, Willacy, Zapata and Zavala counties.

The South Texas region’s estimated total population in 2019 was more than 2.4 million, or 8.4 percent of the state’s total population. This represented an increase of 7.4 percent (about 169,000 people) since the 2010 Census. In 2019, an estimated 35.6 percent of the region’s population was concentrated in Hidalgo County (which includes the city of McAllen).

From 2010 to 2019, the region’s population growth was slower than that of the state. While each county in the region saw a change during this period (Exhibit 1), Hidalgo outpaced all others by growing by more than 12 percent, slightly lower than the state as a whole.

In 2019, the South Texas region accounted for about 6.7 percent of the state’s total employment. Exhibit 4 lists the industries with the greatest regional employment concentrations compared to the national average, as measured by location quotient (LQ). LQ represents an industry’s proportionate concentration in the region; an LQ greater than 1.0 means that industry employment is more concentrated in the region than nationally. A high LQ can identify industries that have a competitive advantage in the region, such as the ability to produce products more efficiently and of a higher quality.

Texas has 14 U.S. military installations within its borders. In 2019, these bases directly employed more than 226,000 and supported nearly 634,000 jobs in all. In all, military installations in Texas contributed an estimated $75.3 billion annually to the state’s gross domestic product (GDP). Four military installations within the South Texas region, which includes Corpus Christi Army Depot, Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Naval Air Station Kingsville and Laughlin Air Force Base, had a significant positive impact on the Texas economy, supporting an estimated 41,000 jobs and contributing about $4.6 billion to the state’s GDP in 2019 (Exhibit 5).

The region’s employment rose by more than 14 percent from 2009 to 2019, below the growth in the state. Employment in the Laredo MSA rose by nearly 20 percent in the same period, while the Corpus Christi MSA job count rose by about 6 percent (Exhibit 6). In 2019, nearly 22 percent of the region’s total jobs were in the Corpus Christi MSA.

Receipts subject to state sales tax directly attributed to the South Texas region trended upward in the past decade. Taxable sales in the region rose steadily following the 2009 recession, up to a highpoint in 2014. While taxable sales then fell off briefly, 2019 saw a new high (Exhibit 14). In 2019, taxable sales directly attributable to businesses in the South Texas region exceeded $22.7 billion, about 4.1 percent of the state’s total taxable sales. The Laredo MSA directly accounted for $2.6 billion of this total, while the Corpus Christi MSA accounted for $6.1 billion.

In 2019, the South Texas region’s retail trade and food services sector contributed most to taxable sales, accounting for more than 56.5 percent of the region’s taxable sales. Other industries of note were the accommodation and wholesale trade sectors, with a combined 23.2 percent of the region’s taxable sales.

When you hear about coins being worth more than face value, you figure it"s highly unlikely you"ll ever encounter one and that coins like that are pretty rare, and while the most valuable coins are indeed hard to come by, there are plenty out there that are surprisingly common. Among them are quarters that came out just a few years ago that are now worth not 25 cents but about $20, and millions of them exist.

The Coinhubs Instagram account explained what to look for. You want to find a quarter from either 2019 or 2020. On the tails side, the 2019 ones show scenes commemorating either Massachusetts" Lowell National Park, Guam"s War in the Pacific National Park, the Northern Mariana Islands" American Memorial Park, Texas" San Antonio Missions Park, or Idaho"s Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. The 2020 ones show either Kansas" Tall Grass Prairie, the National Park of American Samoa, Connecticut"s Weir Farm National Historic Site, the U.S. Virgin Island"s Salt River Bay, or Vermont"s Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park.

On the heads side of these, under where it says "In God We Trust," if there is a letter W, you"re in luck. That letter is the mint mark, and a W means it was created in West Point, New York. Only ten million quarters were minted there in 2019 and another ten million in 2020 - two million of each design. It may seem like a lot, but with just two million in circulation, those quarters are considered somewhat rare.

After autopsies, three people who died in Santa Clara County between 6 February and 6 March have been confirmed as having died of COVID-19, according to a statement released by the county’s department of public health on 21 April. The updated statistics include two people who died at home and a third whose location of death was not specified. Previously, the first COVID-19 death in the county was thought to have occurred on 9 March.

Typical vaccine trials take a long time because thousands of people receive either a vaccine or a placebo, and researchers track who becomes infected in the course of their daily lives. A challenge study could in theory be much faster: a much smaller group of volunteers would receive a candidate vaccine and then be intentionally infected with the virus, to judge the efficacy of the immunization.

The Arab world’s first Mars mission — a spacecraft called Hope — will ship from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Japan weeks earlier than planned, as a result of travel restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hope was scheduled to ship to Japan by cargo plane in early May. But mission leaders brought the date forward to 20 April, to account for a 14-day quarantine imposed on all travellers entering the country. Team members who travel with the probe will be quarantined for two weeks when they reach Japan, but moving the spacecraft early gives them enough time to arrive at the site and prepare for launch.

The mission team has also had to navigate new restrictions on travel worldwide, including getting approval to fly at all, said Sharaf. The UAE’s airspace and airports are closed, and Japan has enhanced its visa requirements.

The labs — which the government says make up the largest diagnostic network in UK history — will prioritize processing samples from health-care providers who are currently self-isolating, in order to allow them to return to work. The Milton Keynes facility can currently process thousands of tests per day, but is continuing to ramp up its capacity through the use of robotics.

Scientists, engineers and technicians at the world’s largest particle-physics laboratory, near Geneva, Switzerland, are teaming up to fill crucial gaps in the local and international responses to the outbreak — from manufacturing and distributing large quantities of hand sanitizer to designing an open-source ventilator.

CERN staff are also manufacturing 3D-printed masks and face shields, and making hand sanitizer for local emergency-response departments. The centre is offering high-performance computing resources to epidemiologists and virologists searching for a COVID-19 vaccine. And some staff are distributing necessities to elderly and otherwise at-risk community members.

According to the Chinese National Health Commission, there were 32 new confirmed cases and 12 new suspected cases in the country yesterday. All were imported into the country from elsewhere. There are also 1,033 people with the infection but no symptoms who are under medical observation.

Several other renowned scientists have also died from COVID-19 in recent weeks. Among them are John Murray, a pioneering tuberculosis clinical researcher at the University of California, San Francisco; James Goodrich, a paediatric neurosurgeon at Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, known for separating conjoined twins; and molecular biologist Michael Wakelam, the director of the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, UK.

The climate meeting, known as COP26 — the 26th annual conference of the parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change — was to be the most important set of talks since the signing of the Paris climate agreement in 2015. So far, international commitments to reduce carbon emissions have fallen well short of what would be needed to prevent temperature increases of more than 1.5–2 °C above preindustrial levels, the stated goal of the Paris agreement. Countries were expected to update and strengthen their commitments at the Glasgow meeting.

More than three-quarters of people with COVID-19 in intensive-care units in the United States have at least one ‘underlying condition’ — a chronic health problem, such as diabetes or heart disease, that has been shown to contribute to hospitalization and severe illness.

Images and videos of locked-down Italians singing on their balconies to applaud health-care workers have circulated the world. But last week, thousands of citizens were out for another cause: science. For three evenings, on 23–25 March, 6,000 Italians appeared on their balconies to take part in a citizen-science experiment that has never attempted before — measuring light pollution with their smartphones.

The study was conceived by Luca Perri, an astrophysicist and science communicator at the Astronomical Observatory of Milan, and Alessandro Farini, a vision scientist at Italy’s National Institute of Optics in Florence. Like many nations, Italy has seen a steady increase in night-time light in recent decades. Such light pollution compromises astronomers’ view of space and presents environmental, economic, safety and public-health problems; it can, for instance, affect the immune system.

The study, published by the Imperial College COVID-19 Response Team on 30 March, estimates the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions, which include closing schools and banning mass gatherings, on the spread of the virus across parts of Europe, including Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. The authors measured the effects through a change in the virus’s effective reproduction number.

The researchers are careful to note that they cannot attribute the transmission reduction to any particular intervention. And it’s too early to know whether the interventions as a whole are having the intended effect in some European countries. But, “if current trends continue, there is reason for optimism”, they write.

The Hubei announcement says that factories and businesses can gradually reopen, as long as they follow transmission prevention measures. Universities, schools and child-care centres will remain closed pending “a scientific assessment of the epidemic control situation”. (Schools in most other regions of China also remain closed.)

Other cities in China are slowly returning to some sense of normality. But scientists are warning that there is a risk of renewed COVID-19 transmission once people start mixing again.

More than a dozen US states are implementing stay-at-home orders, affecting more one-third of the US population. Details of these orders, and the lengths of time for which they will apply, vary from state to state, but they generally include the closures of all non-essential businesses, and continued or more stringent bans on public gatherings. On 19 March, California, the nation’s most populous state, was the first state to order a lockdown, following the lead of San Francisco three days earlier.

On 18 March, Hubei, the Chinese province at the centre of the coronavirus outbreak, recorded no new cases of COVID-19 for the first time since the beginning of the epidemic, according to the country’s National Health Commission. Eight deaths were reported in the province that day.

A month ago, Hubei was confronting several thousand new confirmed cases each day. Since December, it has recorded more than 67,000 people with COVID-19, and more than 3,000 deaths.

Lessler says it’s still not clear whether children are important in transmitting the virus, as they are for influenza; children routinely develop flu symptoms and are common hubs in chains of transmission. “That’s one of the current critical remaining questions and we’re trying to figure out how to answer it,” he says. “I have a 7-month-old and a 6-year-old and I can’t imagine that, if they have any virus at all, they’re not getting it on somebody.”

The report’s analysis of data from China finds 99.9% similarity between the 104 strains of the coronavirus, named SARS-CoV-2, collected from people between December 2019 and mid-February 2020. This means that the virus is not mutating significantly. The median age of people infected is 51 years. And most cases of spread from person to person have been in hospitals, prisons or households, which implies that close contact is often required for the virus to spread between people. Airborne spread is not believed to be a major driver of transmission, the report says. In one preliminary study from the province of Guangdong, people in the same household as someone with COVID-19 had a 3–10% chance of being infected.

The WHO credits China’s ability to rein in the epidemic to a variety of measures. One is that 1,800 teams of epidemiologists have rapidly tracked tens of thousands of contacts of people infected with the virus in Hubei province, where the outbreak emerged. Up to 5% of these contacts ended up having the disease and were diagnosed quickly. And the report says the lockdown on travel out of Hubei — an unprecedented measure in a province of this size — curbed wider spread of the disease to China’s 1.4 billion citizens.

Crystal chemist Bartosz Grzybowski talks to the Nature Podcast’s Nick Howe about how the surging outbreak in South Korea is affecting daily life as a researcher. Grzybowski is at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, about 60 kilometres from the city of Daegu, where most of the country’s coronavirus cases have occurred. He says panic and fear reign — but the nation seems well prepared.

Mike Ryan, director of the WHO’s emergencies programme, justified the organization’s position by explaining that the virus’s transmission remains poorly understood — and it seems that the rate of new infections is declining in China. He advised countries to focus on treating patients and reducing the chance of people spreading the virus to others.

At a meeting organized by the African Union on 22 February, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the World Health Organization, said he was especially worried about the rise in cases in Iran, South Korea and Italy. “The increasing signs of transmission outside China show that the window of opportunity we have for containing this virus is narrowing,” he said.

Research should also look to understand the best approach for infection prevention, including assessing whether lockdowns in major Chinese cities have had a positive or negative effect on slowing the spread of virus. Virologist Marie-Paule Kieny, who co-chaired the forum, said that there were four vaccine candidates in development. In around three months, she suggested, one or two of those might be in human trials. Still, it will be more than a year until they might be available for wider use. Officials called for research on how to control and counter misinformation that has spread since the start of the outbreak. Finally, Tedros encouraged research into preventing the transmission of zoonotic diseases — which originate in animals — to stem future outbreaks of this type.

The World Health Organization has officially named the disease caused by the coronavirus COVID-19. This will replace various monikers and hashtags given to the emerging illness over the past few weeks. Most recently, on 8 February, China’s National Health Commission decided to temporarily call the disease novel coronavirus pneumonia, or NCP. But because viruses continue to spread from animals to people, this coronavirus won’t be novel for long.

“COVID-19 stands for coronavirus disease in 2019,” said Soumya Swaminathan, chief scientist at the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, at a press briefing. She explained that there are many coronaviruses, and this style of naming will provide a format for referring to new coronavirus diseases in future years. “The virus itself is named by an international group of virologists who will look into the taxonomy,” she said. “But it is important to have a name for this disease that everybody uses.”

Shen Yongyi and Xiao Lihua reported at press conference on 7 February that they had identified the pangolin as the potential source of the virus, named nCoV-2019, based on a genetic comparison of coronaviruses taken from the animals and from humans infected in the outbreak.

The identity of the animal source of nCoV-2019 has been one of the key questions that researchers have been trying to answer. Scientists have already suggested that nCoV-2019 originally came from bats, on the basis of the similarity of its genetic sequence to those of other known coronaviruses, but the virus was probably transmitted to humans by another animal.

The number of people in the country infected with the new coronavirus has risen to 40,171, according to the latest update from China’s National Health Commission.

The number of people in China infected with the coronavirus reached 20,438 on 3 February, after more than 3,000 new cases were reported in a day. China’s National Health Commission also reported another 64 deaths, bringing the total to more than 420 in mainland China. And media outlets are reporting the death of a man in Hong Kong, the second fatality to be reported outside the mainland.

The WHO considered declaring the coronavirus a global emergency last week, but ultimately decided against the move. At that time, only one country outside China — Vietnam — had confirmed person-to-person transmission of the virus within its borders.

Now, four other places outside mainland China — Japan, Taiwan, Germany and the United States — have reported person-to-person transmission, as the size and reach of the outbreak have grown. The WHO says that a total of 7,818 cases have been confirmed in 18 countries. Almost 99% of those — 7,736 cases — are in China.

Although scientists in China say they’ve been able to grow the virus in the lab, they have not yet shared samples with international researchers — they have shared only the virus’s genetic sequence, says Julian Druce, head of the Virus Identification Laboratory at the Doherty Institute. He says he and his team had heard that labs outside China had struggled to grow the virus, but they found it quite easy. He thinks the success was due to the lab’s combined expertise in diagnosing infections as well as isolating and growing viruses in culture. “We’ve got two parts of the puzzle together in one laboratory,” he says.

Bavaria’s health ministry said it considered the risk of the virus spreading further to be low. However, more cases of human-to-human spread outside China are likely, said Michael Head, an epidemiologist at the University of Southampton, UK, in a statement distributed by the UK Science Media Centre. “But the indications are at this stage that onwards transmission will be limited.”

David Heymann, an epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, agrees that more cases of human-to-human transmission beyond China are likely. Health authorities can limit transmission by isolating infected people and closely following individuals they have had contact with.

But these measures will be effective only if the virus is not able to spread widely through the air. “You can generally keep an outbreak at very low levels unless it’s aerosolized,” says Heymann. If the virus can spread through the air, contact-tracing and isolation are unlikely to stem transmission.

As the number of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus climbs into the thousands, scientists around the world are estimating how easily the virus is passed between people — and trying to determine whether those without symptoms can spread it.

But researchers caution that R0 estimates come with large uncertainties, because of gaps in the data, and the assumptions used to calculate the figure. They also point out that R0 is a moving target that changes over the course of an outbreak — as control measures are implemented — and varies from place to place. In the coming days, health authorities and researchers will be looking for signs that the steps the authorities have taken to stem transmission, such as the travel restrictions in Wuhan and other Chinese cities, have reduced the R0 there.

“Defining the scale of asymptomatic transmission remains key: if this is a rare event then its impact should be minimal in terms of the overall outbreak,” Jonathan Ball, a virologist at the University of Nottingham, UK, said in a statement distributed by the UK Science Media Centre. “But, if this transmission mode is contributing significantly then control becomes increasingly difficult.”

“At this time there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission outside China,” said WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “That doesn’t mean it won"t happen.”

International airports in New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco, California, have been screening arriving passengers for signs of coronavirus infection since 17 January. All three receive direct flights from Wuhan. The CDC says it will now expand the screening to airports in Atlanta and Chicago, Illinois. All travellers leaving Wuhan for the United States will be routed to one of the five airports that have screening programmes.

Infections have been confirmed in 15 health-care workers in Wuhan; scientists say this suggests that the virus is more adept at human-to-human transmission than was first thought. Previously, Chinese authorities and the WHO had said that there had been some limited cases of human-to-human transmission between family members, but that animals seemed to be the most likely source of the virus.

LaMarcus Aldridge poured in 29 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, and DeMar DeRozan added 28 points as the San Antonio Spurs roared back from a ragged first half to beat the visiting Milwaukee Bucks 121-114 on Sunday.

San Antonio opened the fourth quarter with a 10-1 run to go up 97-84, and then weathered a late run that brought Milwaukee to within nine points before baskets by DeRozan and Patty Mills salted away the game.

Milwaukee dominated the first half, leading by as many as 15 points in the first quarter, and by 11 after a 3-pointer by Bledsoe with 2:01 to play in the second quarter. The Spurs scored the final five points of the half to pull within 60-54 at intermission.

The Bucks still led 81-79 before San Antonio finished the quarter by scoring eight of the final 10 points to pull ahead 87-83 heading into the fourth quarter.

Visa Inc. will move its global headquarters to the Mission Rock development in San Francisco, committing to one building in the project before the San Francisco Giants and partner Tishman Speyer have even broken ground.

The credit card and financial services giant (NYSE: V) will keep its offices in Foster City, but will take an entire 13-story, 300,000-square-foot building in Mission Rock — space for up to 1,500 employees — across China Basin Channel from the Giants" Oracle Park.

The move is a big win for the Giants and developer Tishman Speyer as they get ready to build out the office-residential-retail development on 28 acres of Port of San Francisco-controlled land along Third Street. It also marks the growth of Visa"s San Francisco base — its 112,000-square-foot headquarters at One Market St. holds 650 employees — at a time when some companies are taking a fresh look at space in and out of the city.

“For over 60 years, Visa’s roots have been in the Bay Area and we want to reinvest in San Francisco and Foster City to better support our talented team of employees and growing business needs,” Chairman and CEO Al Kelly said in a statement.

The deal represents another huge tenant taking space in a San Francisco building that isn"t even under construction yet. Other examples include Salesforce.com grabbing the entire office component of Hines Development"s massive Parcel F, between First, Second, Howard and Natoma streets, and Pinterest Inc."s lease at Alexandria Real Estate Equities Inc."s (NYSE: ARE) project at 88 Bluxome.

"It shows that there is demand for larger blocks of space where companies can consolidate their operations in a single location," said Colin Yasokuchi, CBRE"s research director based in San Francisco. "Many of the larger tech companies throughout San Francisco have had to take a multibuilding approach. There really aren"t many campus opportunities in San Francisco."

The Golden State Warriors recently opened the team"s Chase Center arena, a short walk down Third Street from Mission Rock. That development includes two office towers that Uber Technologies Inc. expects to move into next year as part of its 7,700-employee, four-building headquarters.

"The first lease agreement marks a critical milestone as we continue to make Mission Rock a reality," Giants President and CEO Larry Baer said in a statement. "We are delighted to welcome our longtime partner Visa to the neighborhood."

That commitment hasn"t always been clear, particularly as various city initiatives and tax levies have been used by some companies to make the case for leaving the city; others are simply looking for more space. Financial technology company Stripe Inc. said last month that it will move 1,000 employees from San Francisco to Kilroy Realty Corp."s Oyster Point project in South San Francisco.

"We have employees in San Francisco, we have employees in Foster City and we have employees in Palo Alto," Kelly told the San Francisco Business Times earlier this year. "We have no immediate plans to change any of that."

In all, Mission Rock will consist of 11 buildings with 1,200 units of rental housing, 1.4 million square feet of office and commercial space, more than 200,000 square feet of retail and small-scale manufacturing, a rehabilitated Pier 48 and eight acres of parks and open space.

Visa"s potential new home is what is called Building G. It is designed by Henning Larsen of Denmark, with Adamson Associates and San Francisco"s Y.A. Studio, and inspired by rock formations of Devi"s Postpile in Yosemite National Park. Its podium — or "mesa" as the designers and developers call it — ascends from China Basin Park.
