Oakland Army Base Background & Description

Supplemental Documents

The Oakland Army Base (OAB), a military supply depot built during World War II, was shuttered by the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission in 1993 andtransferred to the City of Oakland and Port of Oakland from 2003-2006. The Port sought improved rail infrastructure and preferred the OAB lands adjacent to the Union Pacific mainline which runs adjacent to the eastern boundary of the former base. The City of Oakland considered numerous redevelopment options for the waterfront and northern portion of the former OAB, ranging from a casino, a film center, an auto mall, retail and industrial uses. After considering a wide range of options the City of Oakland selected an industrial development team led by Prologis, Inc. and California Capital & Investment Group (CCIG) to replace the former OAB with trade-related facilities focused on enhancing and improving its port.

In April 2011, the City led a joint planning effort along with the Port for a master planned development of both the Port and City owned OAB lands. The plans include a new intermodal rail terminal, a new bulk marine terminal, 30 acres of truck parking and service areas, 2 million square feet of new warehousing space, and a new recycling center. To build these new facilities, numerous infrastructure needs were identified, including a new roadway and utility network, a grade separation for the new intermodal rail terminal, soil stabilization, and environmental remediation work. The total development cost is estimated at approximately $1.2 billion.
