TREASURE ISLAND MASTER
DEVELOPMENT
Treasure Island, San Francisco, California
Treasure Island is an unparalleled 400 acre mixed use redevelopment opportunity located in the heart of the San Francisco Bay. Kenwood Investments’ reuse plan for this former Navy base includes 5,900 market rate and affordable housing units, approximately 400 hotel rooms, 200,000 square feet of retail and commercial space, and approximately 300 acres of new public open space. The project area includes the northern half of Yerba Buena Island, a natural island in the middle of the San Francisco Bay, and all of Treasure Island, a man-made island that was once the home Pan American Airways inaugural China Clipper service to the Far East, the site of the 1939 World’s Fair, and later, Naval Station Treasure Island, the home of the Pacific Fleet during World War II. Kenwood Investments’ plan for the redevelopment of Treasure Island will take advantage of the living history of Treasure Island by not only preserving historic structures, but integrating public uses into historic spaces, thereby allowing new generations of Californians to actively experience the unique character and maritime heritage of the Islands. Kenwood Investments, along with its development partners, successfully bid for this opportunity in 2000. Kenwood Investments is also the developer for the renovation and expansion of the Treasure Island Marina as a separate project on Treasure Island.
Kenwood Investments, along with its partners, has recently been selected through a competitive bidding process to be the master developer for the Sacramento Docks Area, a 23 acre riverfront site in downtown Sacramento. The site is located near the center of the downtown area, near the Capitol, Old Town Sacramento, and the downtown shopping center. While final plans have yet to be developed, conceptual plans include approximately 1,000 homes in a variety of high density configurations, ground floor retail and restaurant opportunities, a riverfront promenade, and a public park space. The planning and design is focused on taking advantage of the unique assets of the site including its prime location in one of California’s fastest growing communities, as well as its important role as an urban waterfront. URBAN AMERICA
A current Oakland Unified School District site, the location of the project is in the highly sought after Lake Merritt Channel District. Through an intense selection process, the TerraMark/Uraban America & Kenwood Investments team was selected to partner with the school district to determine the highest and best use for this unique location. The current plan proposes four distinctive residential
towers, modeled after the famous Philip Johnson “lipstick
building” in Midtwon Manhattan. These towers would contain
approximately 1,000 new homes, and 75,000 square feet of retail
and commercial space to compliment this new urban community. MARKETPLACE AT AHAHEIM
The Marketplace at Anaheim includes the redevelopment of an existing circa 1919 citrus fruit Packing House, the Courtney Building, an ancillary historic warehouse, and the development of 81 market rate, for sale townhomes in downtown Anaheim, California. The Packing House will be renovated to accommodate a first class restaurant along the street frontage of Anaheim Boulevard, highlighting the Packing House’s distinctive and historic façade which will be rehabilitated to its original character. The Packing House will also include a European-style marketplace, similar to, but smaller than, the very successful marketplace at the Ferry Building in San Francisco. The Courtney Building will be rehabilitated and renovated so that it can remain an active ancillary building to the Packing House. The unique roof structure will be refurbished, and the front end of the building will be opened up to create a flexible indoor/outdoor open air location for a variety of uses including community flex space, a potential site for the existing Anaheim Farmers Market, and office, meeting or event space for the Anaheim Downtown Association or the City of Anaheim. The residential portion of the Marketplace at
Anaheim will include the development of for sale residential townhomes
with private garages arranged around an auto court. There are
a total of 81 townhomes featuring architecture that respects the
historic character of the Packing House and Courtney Building
and creates an active, pedestrian streetscape along Anaheim Boulevard.
One of Kenwood Investment’s newest projects is the redevelopment of an existing Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station into a transit oriented mixed-use village in El Cerrito. This plan includes a total of 235 new housing units, 733 parking spaces for residents and commuters, approximately 3,000 square feet of commercial space, bicycle storage, as well as attractive streetscaping and landscaping to create a new transit oriented neighborhood. This project will involve a tri-party agreement between the private developer, local municipality and BART. Partnering with Fairfield Residential on this
exciting mixed use project, Kenwood is leading the entitlements
and planning efforts, while Fairfield will lead the development
and leasing. Like all of Kenwood’s projects, the El Cerrito
project will be characterized by its sensitivity to the local
community, commitment to design excellence, and meeting the goals
of our public partners at BART by creating a new “transit
first” neighborhood.
Located in Clipper Cove, between Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island in the heart of the San Francisco Bay, the Treasure Island Marina is situated in one of the most scenic and well-protected small boat harbors on the West Coast. Offering spectacular views of the San Francisco skyline, the Oakland/San Francisco Bay Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge and the East Hills, this marina is a hidden jewel. The marina will undergo a major renovation and redevelopment, complemented by the overall master development of the Island. Current planning includes the expansion of the existing marina to offer 400 berths, dry storage, a fuel dock, a laundry, a chandlery and facilities for boat sales and repair services. The marina is the home of both the Treasure Island
Yacht Club and the Treasure Island Sailing Center, which offers
educational programs about boating and watercraft for underprivileged
youth from the Bay Area.
Opened in 1996 and enhanced in 2001, Aquarium
of the Bay is a unique educational and entertainment facility
dedicated to the rich and diverse aquatic life of San Francisco
Bay and its surrounding waters. The Aquarium provides a window
to the Bay that focuses on its distinctive ecosystems to entertain,
educate and inspire preservation of this wonderful natural resource. The overriding theme of the Aquarium of the Bay is education and conservation. We have partnered with a consortium of research and educational partners from the government and non-profit communities to further the collective understanding of the San Francisco Bay. In addition to its revenue from guest attendance
and retail operations, the Aquarium of the Bay is host to a variety
of special events including conferences, weddings, birthday and
anniversary parties and even sleepover parties for children.
Kenwood Investments is a finalist for the opportunity to develop a new Community Civic Center in historic downtown Hesperia, California. The Hesperia Community Civic Center consists of approximately 27.5 acres located adjacent to the existing Hesperia City Hall. Proposed Development plans call for high density residential, retail and commercial uses and some government uses. Hesperia California is one of the fastest growing communities in San Bernardino County and is strategically located along Interstate 15. |
