Chinese investors are looking at redeveloping Pier 19 as a trade center. It's all supposedly very hush-hush and long-range, but they're looking for a West Coast site for events and offices. The same group leased 200K-sq-ft in the then-unbuilt One World Trade Center in NYC back in 2009. Last year, an option to lease, repair and develop Pier 19 was part of that complicated real estate deal constructed around the America's Cup. [SFGate/CurbedSF]
