Fire Station #11 – CreatorSpace in San Leandro | Page 10 <br />Jack London Square, Oakland, CA <br /> <br />Location: Water Street, between Clay and <br />Alice <br />Type: Commercial – Retail and Office <br />Size: 9 Development Sites and Common <br />Space (apx. 18 acres) <br />Project Cost: Apx. $2 million (entitlements only) <br />Date: Multi-phase project; some portions <br />completed. BAU work 2003-2005. <br /> <br />The Port of Oakland issued an RFP for <br />redevelopment of Jack London Square in 2002 <br />because the existing blend of retailers had become <br />stagnant and a moderate level of crime was <br />beginning to occur at the site. <br />Ellis Partners, LLC won the RFP. Stuart Rickard, who <br />had previously worked for Ellis Partners, formed BAU <br />in 2003 and was retained as development manager <br />for the entitlements of the redevelopment proposal <br />as well as for renovation of the 66 Franklin building. <br />The project was successfully entitled, gaining <br />approvals from City of Oakland for a development <br />agreement, as well as approvals from BCDC and <br />State Lands Commission. <br />Today the project concept is being successfully <br />realized and Jack London Square is an exciting <br />destination and home to Sungevity, Bocanova, <br />Forge, and Plank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />299
