KAISER CONVENTION CENTER Submitted to the City of Oakland November 12, 2014 CREA TIVE DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS November 12, 2014 Dear Oakland, We love you. There, we said it. Feels much better to just come right out with it before we say anything else. We love you for so many reasons - you’re diverse, passionate and creative - you make us feel special. You make the Bay Area feel special. You stand for equality and opportunity while the world around us seems to simply stand by as equality and opportunity pass by. We’d do anything to be with you. So we’re giving you our heart, our imagination, and our soul. Please meet One Lake Merritt. Over the last two years, Creative Development Partners has fallen even more deeply in love with Oakland in assembling One Lake Merritt. We have learned a great deal, through the engagement of so many segments of the community, how we can build what Oakland needs, wants and deserves. But ultimately, we are proposing One Lake Merritt because we are an Oakland team. We are the team, the investors, and the deep relationships with the community, institutions and organizations, to work with the City to transform the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center into a project that creates opportunities for all, propels the economy, and lifts up our identity.

  • Channeling the Future: Lake Merritt Meets the Estuary
    VOL. 34, NO. 2 WINTER 2015 Channeling the future: Lake Merritt meets the estuary By Naomi Schiff Oakland’s Lake Merritt, originally San Anto- nio Slough, is one of many sloughs, inlets, bays, and marshes along the west coast. As in other coastal regions, many California cities NAOMI SCHIFF arose around these natural features; today one can still see examples of less-built-upon slough and marsh landscapes at Elkhorn Slough and Point Reyes. As it develops, Oakland will transform the links from streams and watersheds to the Estuary, the San Francisco Bay, and the Pacific Ocean. Can some of these changes reconnect us to the bay, give us better access, and convey an understanding of the original landforms? HOW IT WAS Home to many Ohlone/Costanoan settle- ments, the rich bay waters furnished fish and shellfish, supplying sustenance for active vil- lages.

    APPRAISAL REPORT Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center 10 Tenth Street Oakland, California March 14, 2019 March 14, 2019 Thang Nguyen Real Estate Agent Real Estate Services City of Oakland 250 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, 4th Floor Oakland, CA 94612 APPRAISAL REPORT Re: Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center 10 Tenth Street Oakland, California Our Reference No. 190068 Dear Mr. Nguyen: At your request and authorization, we have completed an appraisal of the above-referenced property, which consists of a single parcel of land encompassing a total of 4.79 acres (±208,842 sf). The site is improved with the historic Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center, with a building footprint of 76,900 sf, and a total gross floor area of approximately ±199,700 sf, per City of Oakland Planning Staff. The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the property's market rental value as of January 25, 2019, under the terms of an assumed long term (99 year) lease. The appraisal analysis will consider the property in its “as is” condition, and its proposed future use as an entertainment venue (theater) and office complex. These conditions will form the basis for the valuation. The intended use of the report is to assist the City of Oakland in negotiation of a proposed disposition of the property by lease (LDDA) to a Orton Development Inc (ODI)). The tenant intends to repair and redevelop the existing building into a mixed-use facility as referred to above. Under this proposed occupancy and use, the gross rentable area of the building (as determined by ODI), totals ±154,963 sf, since certain areas are excluded due to historic preservation criteria or inadequate functionality.
