The Port of Oakland is looking for a developer for its 50-acre Howard Property, which has not been utilised for cargo vessel operations since 2013.
Howard Property is located next to industrial operations to the west and Jack London Square to the east.
The port will consider a wide range of applications, including maritime, light industrial, commercial, recreational, and/or water-related uses.

Port of Oakland Chief Real Estate Officer Jonathan Veach, said: “The port has a major opportunity to create a transformational development project that can provide critical economic benefits to Oakland and the region.”
The current RFQ comes after years of Port authorities debating various options for the former marine terminal.
In 2019, the port signed an Exclusive Negotiation Term Sheet with the Oakland A’s for a proposed mixed-use ballpark construction, which will expire in May 2023.
Currently, Howard Property is mostly subject to short-term property leasing agreements to accommodate container parking, depot operations, and other maritime services.
