<br />Development Projects Within the City. There are a number of recently completed and
<br />currently ongoing development projects in the City. Some of these include the following:
<br />The City worked with Innisfree Ventures II to develop the Village marketplace, a high–
<br />quality, Mediterranean–style neighborhood retail center of roughly 25,000 square feet with retail
<br />and restaurant spaces, outdoor dining, and a public plaza. Tenants include CVS, Peet’s Coffee
<br />& Tea, Habit Burger, and AT&T, with a new Chipotle across the street.
<br />The first phase of the Westlake Urban’s San Leandro Tech Campus will be completed in
<br />October 2016, to include 133,000 square feet of office, a 780 space parking garage, and a
<br />public plaza including the 55 foot tall Truth is Beauty statue. Located directly to the east of the
<br />Downtown BART station, the project brings high quality, modern architecture, sustainable
<br />building design, and high–tech amenities. Future phases will include two additional buildings
<br />with over 350,000 square feet of office and commercial space.
<br />The Marea Alta housing development is also being completed at the Downtown BART
<br />station, to include 115 units of affordable workforce/family housing followed by 88 units of senior
<br />affordable housing, over 400 parking spaces (including BART parking), as well as retail,
<br />childcare, and community facilities.
<br />Also near the BART station, Creekside Plaza is preparing plans for a fourth, 77,000
<br />square foot building in the award–winning, 230,000 square foot, Class A office complex.
<br />Creekside’s three existing buildings, accommodating over 1,000 employees, are 100%
<br />occupied.
<br />In February of 2016, the City and CVS completed Purchase and Sale Agreements with
<br />Sansome Pacific Properties for a major mixed use development at the former CVS site at Callan
<br />and East 14th Streets. The development is proposed to include over 150 housing units, up to
<br />20,000 square feet of retail and structured parking in a new, modern building.
<br />Following the completion of a Long Range Property Management Plan, the Successor
<br />Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Leandro is releasing Requests for
<br />Proposals for the sale and redevelopment of three sites. The Town Hall Square site includes up
<br />to 1.5 acres of land for transit–oriented development in the center of Downtown San Leandro at
<br />the northwest corner of East 14th and Davis Streets. The Parrott and Washington site includes
<br />0.4 acres of land for mixed–use development adjacent to Downtown shopping and housing.
<br />The former Fire Station property is a 0.3 acre site available for neighborhood commercial
<br />development along the developing Marina corridor.
<br />The industrial market remains strong in San Leandro, with redevelopment proposals
<br />underway for at least 4 major sites, including the 30 acre former Kraft/Yuban coffee roasting
<br />plant. These developments will improve outdated properties and have the potential to bring
<br />thousands of square feet of new, Class A flex industrial space, with the capacity to house the
<br />City’s growing advanced manufacturing sector.
<br />In November 2012, the City opened a 384–space, LEED–certified, four–story parking
<br />garage, replacing its outdated Estudillo garage. The garage was funded with Redevelopment
<br />Agency tax increment dollars and will serve new mixed–use development in Downtown San
<br />Leandro. The City is completing a Downtown Parking Management Plan, which promotes the
<br />garage as a central element in the downtown parking system. The City has also approved an
<br />agreement to utilize $600,000 in Redevelopment Agency Excess Bond Proceeds to make final
