Treasure Island development director to retire after 12 years

Robert Beck, director of the Treasure Island Development Authority, will retire Sunday after more than a decade leading the redevelopment of Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island, City Administrator Carmen Chu announced. 

Beck has served as TIDA director since 2013, overseeing major infrastructure projects, housing construction, transit connections, and the creation of parks and public spaces as the former naval base is transformed into a mixed-use community, a press release issued Friday noted.
