  • Going Uptown in Downtown Oakland: Market‐Rate Housing As a Redevelopment Tool

    Going Uptown in Downtown Oakland: Market‐Rate Housing As a Redevelopment Tool

    GOING UPTOWN IN DOWNTOWN OAKLAND: MARKET‐RATE HOUSING AS A REDEVELOPMENT TOOL Jessica Sheldon Master of City Planning Candidate University of California, Berkeley submission for APA’s Economic Development Division Graduate Scholarship February 6, 2009 Abstract At least since urban renewal efforts of the 1960s, local governments around the country have struggled with how to revitalize city centers in order to turn around declining populations and job opportunities. Traditionally, these efforts have focused on employment growth or retail and industrial development. Beginning in the 1990s, however, there was increased focus on a different strategy: attracting new residents into market‐rate units. Proponents argue that new residential development will itself spur greater retail and job growth. The city of Oakland, California represents one of the fullest implementations of this strategy. Between 2000 and 2008, over 10,000 new residential—mostly market‐rate—units were approved for construction in the downtown area. This paper examines how a consensus emerged around market‐rate residential development, with a focus on the negotiations between the mayor, city council, developers, and community advocates over one specific project, “The Uptown.” A strong mayor was the primary driver of the development, yet other stakeholders came to support it and managed to have at least some of their interests fulfilled. Jessica Sheldon Going Uptown In Oakland, California at the beginning of the 21st century, a consensus emerged among developers, politicians, and other city officials that market‐rate residential development was the best strategy for revitalizing the city’s downtown. At that particular moment in time—at the height of the housing bubble—and with a location just minutes from San Francisco, it seemed like downtown Oakland was poised for a comeback.
