UPDATED: Developing in Alameda
UPDATED: Developing in Alameda
While much of the public's attention toward development has been focused on Alameda Point, another area of the Island may see hundreds of new homes, a lot sooner.
Alameda's Northern Waterfront is home to the Del Monte warehouse, the former Encinal Terminal property, a Chipman warehouse and 22 acres of Alameda Marina property. All of the sites may see housing development.
All told, about a half-dozen sites where homes are proposed or may be considered line the waterfront directly, while others - including the Pennzoil property - are nearby.
Developer Tim Lewis Communities is seeking permission to build as many as 414 new units on the Del Monte warehouse property; the developer also owns the Encinal Terminal property, which the city thinks could hold as many as 234 homes. Lennar is seeking design approvals for its 89-home Marina Cove II development on the former warehouse site, and the marina property is listed as a "housing opportunity" site that could hold up to 400 homes in the housing element of the city's general plan - its blueprint for housing development in Alameda.
City leaders have signed off on 182 new homes on the Boatworks site on Clement Avenue, thought he project may soon be amended. A property with a warehouse next door could hold as many as 53 new homes, city staffers say.
The Alamedan has updated its popular development map with the latest information on what's developing in Alameda, and we've added the sites that may also soon make their way into the city's housing development pipeline. At the request of one of our readers we've also attached a spreadsheet listing all the active and pending housing developments in Alameda and sites where housing may one day be built, so readers can tally the numbers for themselves.
If you've got suggestions for ways we can improve the map - or information to add - let us know by leaving a comment or e-mailing me at michele@thealamedan.org.
