Port of Oakland Issues RFQ for Howard Property Redevelopment
The Port of Oakland has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking a developer for its 50-acre Howard Property. Located along the Oakland waterfront, the site is a former marine terminal not used for cargo vessel operations since 2013.
Howard Property is adjacent to industrial operations to the west and Jack London Square to the east. The Port will consider a wide range of submissions, including maritime, light industrial, commercial, recreational and/or water-oriented uses.
The latest RFQ comes after years of Port officials considering different ideas for the sitel. In 2019, the Port entered into an exclusive negotiation term sheet with the Oakland A’s for a potential mixed-use ballpark development; it expired in May 2023.
“The Port has a major opportunity to create a transformational development project that can provide critical economic benefits to Oakland and the region,” said Port of Oakland chief real estate officer Jonathan Veach.
An RFQ seeking entities interested in developing Howard Property is now posted on the Port of Oakland website. Responses are due on Dec. 9, 2024.
