Anyway back to reality, new renderings of Coliseum City.

NOTICE THE ABSENCE OF ORACLE ARENA
Quote:
TEAM: City of Oakland, JRDV, HKS, Forest City
LOCATION: Oakland, California
TYPE: Retail/Entertainment Hotel Transit-Oriented Development Commercial
SERVICE: Architectural Design Master Plan/Urban Design Development Services
JRDV created the master plan for the redevelopment of the Bay Area’s famed Coliseum District. The plan’s key elements are: a new next-generation sports and entertainment district, a high-density, mixed-use transit district with intermodal transit hub, and a waterfront science and technology district. The overall plan creates a strategy for change and transformation of the largest underutilized transit-served urban redevelopment opportunity in California into an economically vital community. The master plan establishes land-use, urban design guidelines, development and transit strategies that will enable a viable economic reuse of this critical urban resource. The centerpiece of the plan is the redevelopment of the Coliseum site, which is planned to integrate the professional sports facilities into an authentic functioning urban context. The master plan will allow retail, restaurants, and entertainment uses to leverage off of the sports uses to create a world-class sports-themed urban entertainment district. Above these ground floor uses are office, hotel, and residential uses. Transit connections to BART have been improved to create a true intermodal transit and pedestrian-centered urban center.
JRDV Architects is an international practice focusing mixed-use, retail and urban design projects with visionary developers and communities, Oakland, CA.

Let's hope the environmentalists don't put a road block before they break ground.

They certainly haven't gotten in the way of improvements to Lake Merritt.

I think funding is going to be the biggest problem. Oaklanders wants nice things but we seem to have trouble paying for them.

You don't need to this time.

The project has already beaten scores of environmental and preservation challenges in court enduring hearings and scrutiny spanning 3 mayoral administrations. There isn't really any more legal recourse to stop it, so...

Anyway, the real estate market is now red hot in Oakland so this is the perfect time for this project to get built, hence the Chinese investing $1.5 Billion.
