Oakland/East Bay: Downtown Plagued by Construction Slowdown, Building Guidelines, Suburban Areas Reap Benefits Continue to Grow

Article Abstract:

Oakland has just become the proud home of a twenty story Hyatt Regency hotel. Its city center has just been restored. The forty-million dollar Oakland Convention Center has been the focus of attention. Investment in Oakland is strong, but some redevelopment in Chinatown has foundered. Another project on the Oakland Estuary waterfront has been held up by a lack of minority equity participation. The minority equity participation issue may retard the development of Oakland. However, a Victorian project in the downtown area has continued. Four office building projects are pending, but a few have also been tabled. The Kaiser Development Company intends to go along with its office development. East Bay suburbs are enjoying active development.

Inflation has affected the best quality space price, while most property is not high priced.
