Alameda Point Redevelopment

Alameda City invited the four developers working on a master plan for the naval base to present to the community tonight. Three plans were pretty similar, and the fourth was an intriguing Green Alameda Village concept including a UC San Francisco research center for environmental issues and Global Warming, and an ultra light rail system. In any case all four plans are proposing hundreds of residential units on the old naval base.

The plans would take years to come to fruition as the planning would take two years from the time the city chose a developer with whom to work. No one knows how long after final planning building would start.

One of the developers, SunCal, is also the developer for Oak Knoll in Oakalnd. that project , also a reclimation from the navy, is further along. They don't know yet when that project will begin construction. probably a couple of years out, but it will have the required 25% of low and moderate income housing.
