Creating a Strong Connection

ADAPTIVE REUSE IS KEY  Focused on creating a master plan that would reflect Alameda’s unique history and culture, integrating existing buildings and avoiding the complete demolition of the existing context was key.

A VIEW TO THE FUTURE  Consolidating the maximum allowed 800 residential units onto fewer, higher density parcels freed-up land for evolving development strategies. Utilizing existing buildings also added the benefit of generating jobs and income during the long initial infrastructure development phase.
