Preserving History - Providing a Future

As a former naval site, opportunities for restoration and re-use of existing structures are abundant on Alameda Landing, and redevelopment will include LEED^®-certified, adaptive warehouse reuse. Alameda Landing will come to life by preserving the past, paying homage to the area’s maritime history while providing new and unique office space, charming and dynamic open spaces and inviting retail experiences. And focusing on the site’s “working waterfront” past wouldn’t be complete without offering a new, water-rich environment for all to enjoy. Part of the restoration efforts at Alameda Landing include a new half mile of waterfront access, never before available to the public, which will include a waterfront plaza, promenade for pedestrian and bicycle access along the shoreline, water-facing office space, refreshing retail and a pilot estuary taxi linking Alameda Landing with Oakland.

Location

Located just off the Webster Street Tube in Alameda, Alameda Landing is surrounded by breathtaking bay views, punctuated by the nearby skylines of San Francisco and Oakland. The site will be accessible and identifiable. Large artful structures will greet visitors as they arrive, and smaller, directional elements will help guide them to their destination, be it shopping, an office meeting or a play date at the park. The extension of Willie Stargell Avenue, approved in May of 2008, will enhance access to Alameda Landing and the greater West End of Alameda.

Milestones for Alameda Landing:

August 2008 – Right-of-Way Acquisition of Willie Stargell Avenue

The right-of-way acquisition follows a seven year effort by the City, which culminated in collaboration between the City, the College of Alameda and Catellus. In a win-win agreement, the college donated a two-acre parcel of land bisected from the college by the road. In exchange, Catellus funded the acquisition of a 25,000-square-foot building (860 Atlantic Avenue) that was transferred to the College for use as an educational laboratory and classroom space.

May 2007 – Approval of Waterfront Promenade

The City Planning Board approved the Waterfront Promenade Development Concept, a Master Landscape Plan Amendment, and the Transportation Demand Management Program. In September of 2007, the Planning Board approved an amendment to the Waterfront Promenade, due to the redesign of the wharf, and the design for the retail center South of Mitchell Avenue.

January 2007 - City Council Hearing

On January 16, 2007, the Alameda City Council, sitting in its capacity as the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority, formally approved the new development agreement with Catellus for the Alameda Landing project.

February 2006 - Community Workshop

A public meeting was held on February 15, 2006, to build on the community participation process. The meeting began with a presentation of the site, as well as a summary of comments from the January Open House. After the presentation, community members participated in four small groups, each led by facilitators.

January 2006 - Open House

A public Open House was held on January 21, 2006, to initiate a community outreach process for the Alameda Landing project. More than 120 people participated in this forum that featured multiple stations with facilitators, who presented and discussed information about the site and its potential for development, best practices for place-making, retail opportunities, transportation conditions, and related resources and studies.
